I remember having a horrific experience with DHL in the 1970s in Los Angeles so I vowed to NEVER…read moreuse them again. Fast forward 40 some odd years later. I am in Italy, my credit card was compromised. My bank sent a replacement card via FedEx. FedEx turned it over to DHL. I didn't receive the email with delivery date. They tried to deliver it, I wasn't home. It was sent back to the US. My bank sent a second card. The email tracking number said it would arrive yesterday Monday 7/29. We waited home all day. In the meantime I called the number in the email and would up speaking to someone in The US who hadn't a clue. He, Reynard, said someone would call me within 3 hours! It was 2:45pm... no one ever called. I am leaving for the states tomorrow. So this morning I finally found an Italy phone number for them. I was told the package was in Sesto Fiorentino, which is several buses, plus a 10 minute walk, and 14K away from where I live. When we called back to say they needed to deliver it today we were told it was already sent back to the shipper! Had I gone all the way out there and found it not there try to imagine what I might have done!
DO NOT EVER USE THIS TERRIBLE COURIER SERVICE!
In April I ordered a dress from Johnny Was in the US for Easter. Somehow they wanted €222.00 duty for a dress that was overpriced in the first place ($265.00) I emailed back to DHL to make sure I was understanding that my dress was being held hostage. No reply. Finally they wrote back to tell me I owed an additional €75.00 for storage! I told them to send it back! To date I have not been refunded!
