DHL will spell death to any reputable company out there using their mailing services. This company is the worst I've used them three times and every single time they get my package for over 20 days with no tracking information and nothing but I don't know I don't know I don't know every time you contact him. Your item will sit in a hub and tell enough bulk items are collected just sent to USPS for mail out. Trust me when your item is 75 miles from your home and a hub and you got to wait 10 days to receive it that is not good customer service. That is what you would call delivering something on the cheap! So any reputable company trying to save a buck on delivering their product this company will be death to you because people will stop ordering your product! This isn't just a my opinion this is a fact one strike two strikes three strikes you're out DHL.

DO NOT USE DHL!!!!
If I could give DHL zero Stars I would. I have used them only twice and both times they have lost my packages which happened to be carrying very important/sentimental items. The first time my boyfriend and I shipped several bags from Spain to Austria, several of which arrived damaged, and one which never arrived at all. We called every DHL manager in Europe trying to track it down, only being met with “sorry, it’s lost. there’s nothing we can do and no, we cannot tell you where it last was.” After a year without our bag and months of emails, phone calls, and us trying to find it to no avail, we assumed it had been stolen, when one day my boyfriend went to renew a medical document which had been in the bag and the staff at the hospital said “by the way, someone tried calling you about a lost bag a while back, but we didn’t have a number to reach you on.”
We immediately took action and tracked down the person who tried to contact us. We found him through facebook, a guy in Germany that worked with DHL lost luggage and had our bag the whole time and had been trying to find some way to get ahold of us. He was the first and only helpful employee for DHL that we experienced and thank goodness we were able to get it back. Clearly the communication between DHL managers and their lost and found staff is lacking, and the higher their rank the less they seem to care.
Fast Forward 2 years and I had to send another 3 bags last minute from Mexico to Florida. I didn’t want to use DHL again after last time but did not see any better options. 2 bags arrived after weeks being held at customs, one has yet to arrive. I reach out to DHL multiple times only for them to tell me it’s still being held at customs and they do not have any updates. I wait several months always receiving this answer, then one day I call and they tell me it’s lost and to please file a claim for my money back, with no attempt to find the bag. I have been speaking to various DHL employees over the past couple of months since then and am only ever met with “Because your bag has been lost for over 6 months, our database deletes all info regarding it and we have no idea where it was last seen, please file a claim.” I do not want my money back, I want my bag which is carrying personal documents and other expensive/sentimental items. I clearly did not learn my lesson the first time, but I vow to never use DHL’s services after them messing up not once, but twice. I cannot be more disappointed with them and highly recommend to others NOT to use this company.

Worst Shipping Ever
DHL is terrible. My item went "inactive" eight days ago and I have no idea if or when I am going to receive it. Any company or individual considering using DHL... just use FedEx or UPS... hell even USPS. Their tracking is better and is unlikely to go "inactive" or take ten days to go from Kentucky to my location Illinois (if you were curious, this is about a three hour drive not ten days). Kentucky literally boarders Illinois for heaven's sake. How can you lose something that quickly?

The worst company in the world
The worst company in the world. Please do not use DHL! Please do not! I sent a mail containing my son's passport, birth certificate and all his immigration documents on February 9, 2022. On February 10, the mail was on hold a Cincinnati Hub. I called customer service and they told me, they are waiting for a flight. Few days later the mail was still on hold, I called again they said the could not find a mail I gave myself to them. They opened investigation. 1 month later on March 8, the sent me a text message saying my mail is lost I need to fill a claim. My son missed is visa interview apointement twice. It took me several years to do his immigration documents. I am so disappointed, to do his passport and birth certificate again I have to travel abroad, who gone pay my flight ticket? My accommodation? Who gone pay my bill here when I will be abroad? My son his minor he was expecting to see and live with his mum soon. what I am I gone tell him? I do not know I have been crying since February 9, customer service are so unprofessional. The way they have been speak to me, it like is my fault if the mail is lost. I paid 137$ for a simple mail. They do not care. How can you run a business to destroy and ruin people life? I hope what happen to me will not happen to anybody. I left my son when he was 4 years, now he is 11 I was so happy that he will be with me soon. DHL decided to lost all his immigration documents. I do not know what to do. I wanted yo go to Cincinnati Hub to look the mail myself. They did not give me the address. People working at DHL are not human they do not have heart. I hope for them, they will never experienced what I live now with my son. A mail cannot flight or work. Do you think somebody just put my mail in the trash? Is people working at DHL are trained about how important documents people send are important? Their password is fill a claim. Some documents do not have a price because it takes years and money to do them. How are you gone reimburse time. I hope this day I decided to give DHL my mail never exist in the calendar.

Saddest company of the US
This company is known for fraudulent activities concerning money laundering and drugs trafficing in de US. Go search on the web for the informations.
But that aside, I can only tell they act like that too. I’ve been waiting for a parcel for over 2 months, while they keep it in transit and change the date and time schedule (I took screenshots everytime I checked). When you contact them to ask about the delay, they say you have to contact the seller because the seller should know about the delivery problem. LMAO. So I contacted the seller who was like "bro how am I supposed to know how DHL is working and delivering". So I re-contacted DHL with the information and screenshots about all this, and now they don’t answer anymore. About 4 attemps, for over 3 weeks now. I’d be in shame if I were a employee of DHL in the US… The CEO in this country is a bunch of fraudulent managers and their policy with their personnel is part of few police investigations. I guess DHL in the US will be a short story in the nearby future. It’s a pity because I didn’t choose this company, it was the seller’s option. Never use this company because you will never know how many problems you get with them. Sometimes they deliver on time, sometimes they just fluck it up. My experience with this company is almost always negative.

Package from UK made it to San Antonio…
Package from UK made it to San Antonio in 24 hours only to be taken back to Cincinnati and back to Austin TX. Now it's on hold again claiming severe weather lol. It's amazing weather and has been every time they do this. They refuse to tell me where it is so i.can at least pick it up before it's just completely lost. Very frustrating and seeing they don't care to reply here says a lot.

Deludenti e arrangiati
Acquisto spesso negli USA da diversi e-commerce e in genere utilizzano vettori rapidi e affidabili che in tre giorni riescono a consegnare dall'altra parte dell'oceano, poco tempo fa per mia sfortuna hanno affidato la mia spedizione a DHL ed dal loro tracciamento risulta che dopo aver ricevuto il pacco dal venditore lo hanno trasferito da un posto all'altro vicini tra loro molte volte e poi lo hanno messo in giacenza (abbandonato) in un deposito per molti giorni in attesa di "un volo disponibile..." Assurdo, credo sia noto che DHL possiede una sua flotta aerea e non dovrebbe certo chiedere "passaggi" a qualche compagnia di turno, inoltre provando a chiedere supporto al loro servizio clienti una "preparatissima" operatrice mi ha scritto via chat che dovevo rivolgermi a DHL Italia... ma cosa c'entra se il problema è lì da loro? In sintesi si sono dimostrati inefficienti, lenti e non collaborativi. La data di consegna stimata è stata prolungata di due settimane rispetto a quella prevista all'inizio. In sostanza un altro grande marchio sbiadito nell'inadeguatezza al compito affidatogli.

Servizio clienti pessimo
Servizio clienti pessimo. 30 minuti per prendere la linea spiegare il problema, e poi mettono giù. Pacco non pervenuto, non si sa dove sia.
