Worst delivery company in Canada. They charge you so much money and cannot deliver for what you pay. The drivers do not come to your address that's on the package and further put in a note that the address is incorrect. Very unprofessional. Please do not use DHL to send packages to love ones or business. I've been waiting for my package over 3 days now. In order for me to pick up, they said I have to wait 2 to 3 business days. Very inconvenient. read more

First they didn't follow instructions no call, did not buzz or come to my door, instead gave my package away to the first signature available. And now I have to wait 2 hours to have have someone call me back so I can put in a claim for my things. They messed up!!!! but now I have to wait another 3 weeks on top of the 3 weeks I was waiting for the package for this to be resolved and probably another week before I see any justification. I'm not impressed.... Especially since I was suppose to have received the package the day before...... I didn't even get a call back I told the girl tell them call email and text make sure. I don't miss anythijng, I got an email, which basically is suggesting I lost the package they gave away and to allow for 1 business day as they locate it, I already know what happened, Jane Doe IS HAVING AN EARLY CHRISTMAS, no more run around, I want this resolved read more

DHL Express Canada - But they act. Like I lost it, you guys let a stranger sign for. My. Package, you gave it away - Couriers & Delivery Services Near Me - Brampton, Ontario

They try and make a delivery and left a 'Sorry We missed you' tag on the ground by front door. There was no attempt by them to ring the doorbell or even knock loudly on the door. There's cars on the driveway and the garage door is wide open which should indicate people are home. I even saw the driver though the window drive off wondering if it was DHL? But realized he just left the note that we weren't home. They have done this several times. Do the drivers get paid extra for reattempts? read more

For my business, suppliers usually use UPS to ship my orders. UPS has let me down time and again so when one of my suppliers shipped my order via DHL and I had to make changes to the delivery time, I was doubtful, at best, that they would get it right. BUT, I have to say that the two recent shipments I have received via DHL have been delivered on time and with the changes I made. Plus, and this a biggie right now during this pandemic, I was able to quickly and easily speak to a live agent for both shipments. I highly recommend DHL. I have had nothing but good service from them. UPS can bite me. read more

Very bad service. Tracking number revealed no information. But the store I purchased from was able to access it and sent it to me. It traveled from India, to Ohio USA, then to Hong Kong, back to Ohio, to British Columbia, Canada (were I live) then back to Ohio, back to British Columbia, was here for 10 days with 3 attempts to deliver WITHOUT A NOTICE OF DELIVERY any of these times. Then it was returned to sender. Now you can't blame COVID for that. That is just bad organization and service by DHL Express. read more

Heads up: If you're having something shipped from another country, make sure you check, and double check, and triple check, and... your address at every step in the delivery process because apparently that s*** just... disappears once it crosses the border? Delivery failed because I "didn't provide a buzz code". It was confirmed by the agent that I got in touch with that I had, indeed, provided a buzz code, but that the driver didn't have access to it. She then put in a request with the dispatcher to get in touch with the driver, but no one would be able to provide me with updates, so it might just arrive tomorrow, I guess? DHL is only noteworthy when they mess up (which they do a lot). I'm not sure how they're still in business. read more

I ordered my item through Amazon, and they shipped it using DHL. DHL does not deliver to my address, so they decided to change my address then sit on my package and not do anything with it. If I hadn't contacted them to find out where it was I would never have received it. All they needed to do was contact me and say they can't deliver it that I need to pick it up at a location, instead they just sit on it. How is this company still in business. read more

Worst courier company in Canada! DO NOT USE AT ANY COST. I had an urgent document shipped from abroad and for 30 days it's still stuck and they dont know how to clear it from me from the customs (it's just a university certificate with no value) Sent emails to them with no reply, customer service don't know what to answer also Worst and slowest service read more

The worst! I had a shipment from US to my Canada Post FlexDelivery PO box address at Toronto CA, and for some reason they tried to deliver it twice and it apparently gave the error of 'Exception' and now my order is being sent back. I sent an email about to change the address to my home address but I didn't get a response to it for over a week and now they are sending my shipment back to US. I've been waiting for my shipment for a few weeks as well. Plus they don't respond to their phone calls. Amazing service! read more

First of all they are paid to deliver your parcel at your residence, they didn't, instead they hired another company to deliver the parcel which was left at a store in the village, got a email stating that the parcel was delivered, and I was not aware that it had been delivered to the store in the village, had to get answers from DHL and figuring where it might have been delivered to, had to drive in town to collect the parcel, I want a payment of 20.00 for my trip into the village, it's not the money that I am doing it for, it's a matter of principle. Will also let trust pilot in on it. read more

On Monday at 2.48pm your driver walked in behind a resident, right past our concierge without a package and put a "Sorry we missed you " note on my mailbox. I spoke to customer service who assured me note had been put on my file that the parcel would be handed to the concierge to day (22 August). On Tuesday 22 August your driver came into the building and handed a package ( not mine ) to the concierge and left. At exactly that time I received an email, stating " sorry we missed you " There was No sticker on my mailbox. WE have this on camera and it's disgusting service from DHL. The parcel is now 2 days late due to no fault of mine . My own number and buzzer number are supplied. read more

I paid for my shipment to be expedited at the beginning of December; it is allegedly on hold in Los Angeles.

THE WORST SERVICE EVER! It has been so many problems with the DHL service that I can even list it here while I'm still waiting for my MEDICATION to be delivered by this company: 1- it started from the DHL in the contry from where the package left from. The Dhl representative did not fill out the forms as they were supposed to (it was explained later by another DLH representative.) 2- 09/11: as it was about some medication and the forms did not provided all information needed, the Customs Canada hold the package and required new forms with more details and add docs. 3- 10/11 morning: all docs were resent by myself to DLH as instructed by phone on 9th Nov. 4- 10/11 night: the same docs sent one day before were requested again by email, as if they havent even checked my previous email. 5- two more times I had to send the same docs because they kepted requesting me as it was the first time they were asking me for it. But it wasn't enough: at the night of 11/11, they asked me once AGAIN to send me one of the docs needed. 6- 12/11; I called to make sure they had finally knowledge reception of my docs. And incredibly the agent told me she could not find any of the docs I had sent. So, for the FOURTH TIME i sent everything and made her confirm that she was seen every single document I sent and that everything was ok. She confirmed and told me that in up to 48hs the custom would receive it. 7 - 16/11 and no update on their website: the customs were still holding mu package: ONE WEEK the package had arrived in Canada; one week I I couldnt take my daily medications. I called DHL and the answer I got was the same: "i cant see your documenta were sent to us yet." !!!! At this time I lost my patience and requested to talk to a manager. The agent "sudently" found my emails and came back to me saying: I confirm that your documents had not been submitted to Customs Canada before, but it was done now. And they thought I would be ok with this HORRIBLE situation? I requested still a call from the manager and the representative said they confirmed they would call me during the day. Well... of course no call was given to me. Such a great customer service! Not even a sorry for what happened in one week that DHL had FORGOTTEN to send everything to Customs Canada. 17/11: Customs Canada released the package (prrof that the delay was entirely DHL's irresponsability fault. 18/11: I requested "no signature required service" to avoid any possible further delay to get my meds. Then: attempted to delivery not completed because of signature is required. "Ok, maybe they couldnt update it in time". 19/11: more than 24hs later and the second attempt also not completed for the SAME REASON: signature required. At this moment, one more call was given to DHL and finally the retour from a manager (4 days and 3 requests apart from my first resquest to talk to someone in charge). They confirmed. Yet NO PACKAGE DELIVERED AND 10 DAYS THAT MY DAILY MEDICATIONS HAVE ARRIVED IN CANADA AND THAT I CAN TAKE IT. Now. Not only waiting for the package to be delivered, but also gathering every proofs to sue them soon. See you in court DHL. read more

DHL delivered my packaged to the wrong house. After speaking to several agents who repeatedly said it was delivered to the right house, they finally agreed that was in fact not my mailbox or brick colour of my house. Sabrina read her transcript like clock work stating they will look into the mistake and get back to me in 24 hours. After two weeks, of daily calls the delivered package was deemed lost and there was nothing they can do about it. They took no responsibility or offered suggestions how to get my money back. Those questions were off script. I am very disappointed in DHL. They were unable to do their job and deliver a package to the correct address. Isn't that their main responsibility? read more

This review is about the hidden fees and extortion in the name of "other processing fees". I ordered a custom hardware product from a US firm, and the shipping was supposed to be free. The vendor sent it through DHL, and then it reached Ottawa. I was contacted by DHL to make a payment of approx 43 CAD for "other processing fee" which was done by DHL "on my behalf". Upon enquiry, DHL failed to provide any details on why should I pay on top of Canadian customs in the name of "processing fee". Because I had a stressful job schedule, I couldn't follow up for 3 weeks and finally asked them to send it back to shipper. DHL kept following up with me for 2 more weeks, despite me categorically telling them I no longer want the product. DHL sent it back to shipper, and then had a collection agency contact me! I received the letter from collection agency after 10 days (amount was already past due): I didn't receive the product, it was sent back and vendor didn't issue me a refund and on top of it this was directed to a collection agency which pulled down my credit rating by approx 60 points! While I'm fighting with DHL through consumer forum and Equifax, I felt at least I should post my review of unfair and extortionate practices. Instead of dealing with US based shipper, DHL had the audacity to refer my name to collection agencies, whereas I was just an end customer. I never authorized DHL to do any paperwork on my behalf. They didn't ask me before doing the paperwork. In any standard business process the Business let's the customer know the exact services and cost of providing the services. It's pretty straightforward with Canada Post or FedEx. Not DHL - this is the second instance of this nature. In a different and unrelated episode these guys made me pay 45 CAD in the name of "processing fee" for a product that came from Ukraine (a lamp) that was worth less than their "processing fee". This has been a very upsetting episode for me, and nowadays I am straightaway refusing to deal with any merchant/ vendor who insists to send merchandise through "DHL only". read more

DHL was supposed to deliver a package today with a signature of receipt. Today the drive came, dropped off my package and rang my doorbell and left. He did not even wait one second after ringing the bell before he walked back to his vehicle and drove away. No signature at all and I have it all on Camera. I would not use them for anything. This was an expensive item and anyone could have taken this from my front door read more

Very unpleasant company to deal with. Ive spoke to 10+ agents in 5 days that are unable to give me a straight or similar answer as to what is going on with my 2 packages. Duty has been paid on the first and everyone of the agents say it's suppose to be here tomorrow. It's now been days in a row of the same exact response and I still have no package. On the second package, agents say i haven't paid the duty (when i have proof they took my money), and the others say it's on hold for a totally different reason, but assure me it's going to be delivered the next day. Its now been a week of that same response and i have neither of my 2 packages. NO ONE, not even management actually has the ability to give a straight answer or solve an issue properly at DHL / DHL Canada. Even just getting on the phone with a team leader or member of management was a hard task in itself. They refused to put me on, and i was even hung up on. After speaking with management I'm assured they are looking into the issue and i will receive an email or call back with a resolution and that DOES not happened. I have every single voice memo attached to my account if anyone wants to know how DHL's "valuable" customers are being treated, it's simply unacceptable in my opinion. This is why I'm choosing to share this experience in the hopes that this does not happen to anyone of you. This is your clear warning: STAY FAR AWAY FROM DHL. Agents will do or say anything to get you off of the phone. All they are they for is to take your tracking numbers and read to you what it says. Anything else is out of their hands and beyond their control. If you contact me to review the calls just listen how many times I'm assured my package will in fact be here. After being promised it was going to be here again today my package is now with a totally different 3rd party shipping service that says it's not coming until "tomorrow" once again. DHL is a complete waste of time scam and are VERY far from international shipping experts in my opinion. read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. This delivery service is utterly incompetent. The tracking system is completely unreliable. Asking customer service for help is also useless. The fact that they refer to their services as "Express" shipping amounts to near gross misrepresentation. How they remain in business is beyond me. My package was supposed to arrive tomorrow, but has been in Ontario for the last 48 hours waiting to be "shipped on the next scheduled departure." I have checked the flights from Ontario to New Brunswick, and many have departed since this update. Please, do yourself a favour, and avoid this joke of a delivery service provider at all costs. read more

DHL is a joke. I sent a small package overseas and the tracking service keep saying it is with customs. Customs on the other country is saying that we have to pay about $800.00 canadian plus DHL storage fees as of right now the storage are about 200 canadian. So they are keeping the parcel to charge more daily for storage, and every day the sent an e mail saying. The team is looking after your package we will let you know tomorrow before 3pm. Package was never delivery. And it is costing more than a brand new product. I pay insurance and nothing has been done. DHL YOU ARE A BUNCH OF THIEVES. read more

This is the worst delivery experience in my entire life. A package arrived in Canada for me on Feb 21st. It took 3 days for anyone to get back to me from DHL and over 12 hours on hold just to get the paperwork to self-clear. I self-cleared my package on Friday Feb 25th and received an email from the cod team lead on Monday Feb 28 that my package was released. The next day they say I refused delivery which was bull as no vehicle had come into my driveway through the fresh snowfall from the weekend and I sent them a picture to prove it. On Mar 2nd I am told that they sent it back to Moncton and there has been no attempt to deliver it since. It is now March 8th and the tracking hasn't changed. I don't even know when I will receive a package that I have already paid the taxes for at the CBSA. read more

Will give them no stars if I can. The most unprofessional shipping business ever. They don't respond your calls, emails on time. You need to call them and ask for help and. Then they promise someone will get back to you in 24 hours but never does. They promise you refund that is never there. Used it for the first and last time, never going to use this service ever again. Canada post is much better and provide service at a fraction of their cost. Paid more thinking about a service that is not there. Aweful company overall. read more

The worst company ever. I placed an order from Shein ten days ago, and the order came from Shein and was delivered to this company. It should reach me two days before, but up to this moment I have not received anything. I am contacting them, but to no avail. I am very upset about the matter. This company has no responsibility read more

these guys are never on time and if they are they are as late as possible. why should any one pay 20$ more for shipping when it takes as long as the others because their express is more like normal shipping but you get key down. I'm always checking the tracking and expecting things to be received at a normal time in the day or the day they say are delivering. Nope disappointment. read more

Ordered something from amazon, and chose express shipping to get it quicker. I did not choose DHL and cringed when I saw that they were the carrier. I have never had a positive experience with them. Regardless, I filled in the signature release and asked that it be left at the front door of my building. Was supposed to arrive between Oct 17-19. Delivery was attempted Oct 20, but the delivery driver called my unit and I was not available to answer, so it was not delivered. Fine. I get the text saying it couldn't be delivered, and clicked on the link that brought me to their website, where there was an option to pick up my package instead. I chose that option, and selected my local UPS store as a pickup location. Updated tracking info said it would be there Oct 23 (which rendered me paying amazon for express shipping useless, but ok.) Today (Oct 25) I receive a text finally from DHL that they have an incorrect address and the package can't be delivered. Um, what??? Your website offered me the option of the local UPS store; how can the address be incorrect (I have checked the address, and it is correct.) Also no delivery was attempted here today, as I've been home all day and there has been no phone call from the lobby. I'm at a loss as to how they have an incorrect address all of a sudden? Contacted customer service, who said they would contact dispatch and have them drop off the package at the UPS store. When I asked if they could provide a timeline for when it will be available for pick up, I was told that information couldn't be provided, but "I would receive a text when the package is ready for pick-up at UPS" Ugh!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Purchased an item from the EU. Only option given was DHL. Okay. I checked import information and DHL says imports may be subject to Taxes and Duties. However, now they're holding my parcel hostage because of unpaid Taxes, Duties, and some processing fee I hadn't heard of until I got the ransom letter. The processing fee is double the taxes and is a full 1/4 of the new total shipping fee. All just to submit some mundane paperwork. I've had bad experiences in the past, but this is the final straw. I swear there's a customer protection violation here somewhere. read more

Every single time DHL is used to deliver something to me, they NEVER arrive on the delivery date they specify, and always have a "specialist" looking into the matter, with no real updates. I avoided using DHL as a delivery option for 7 years, and this time I had no choice with the merchant, only to experience the same thing. I ordered something from the States and DHL gave me a delivery date of January 8th - it is now January 13th and the "specialist" calls me back everyday before 5pm EST with the same "we are still looking into this" spiel. I will never order from a company that uses DHL again. read more

They ask to pay additional fees before releasing delivery. It's said Import Duty/Tax Payment but I fou d out that most of the money is actually additional processing fees for filling out some paperwork for customes. They are not informing customers over these additional fees that might come up to keep their rates low and competitive. Then they ask you for an additional $ 20-30 if you ever want to receive your package and they won't release your items until you pay up! Scammers! read more

I was literally sitting in my living room when I got a notification saying a delivery was attempted and that I was not home. Lies. No attempt was made. That was the 23. I chose to pick up my package at a pick up point. It's been 6 days now and the package still has not arrived at the pick up point. This is the 3rd time I am receiving a package being delivered by DHL and the process is never smooth. It always goes missing, is never delivered on time. read more

"Express" my a$$! Possibly the worst freight company that I've dealt with. Agents are untrained amateurs and level of service really depends on WHO you get on the phone! To give you an idea, the parcel that I'm expecting from Asia has spent more time in "customs delay" here than it did en route to North America. When you look up your tracking online, it'll say "Clearance Event" for DAYS on end. They'll make you fill out redundant forms, but then it'll take 48-72 hours to process. Absolutely no sense of urgency. I'm not sure what I paid for. I'm never rude, but just try to explain the situation. Even still, I've been hung up on once, told that they "couldn't find my tracking #", and have also been transferred to the beginning of the cue. Some of the agents don't even speak English. Today, I get a text stating that I owe in excess $540+ which doesn't even make any mathematical sense! When I called to ask them how they arrived at this number, the agent couldn't even tell me. It's sad to say, but just outsource your call centre to another country with better customer service! read more

should check the review before I use the service. I am having a very painful experience! I used the DHL express to deliver a document package on sep 8th .

Never ever use DHL service if timing is important to you . read more
