    This complaint is against:DHL Express Global, parcel emanantedfrom DHL Express Netherland and is held at *********, *******, I am residing in **********, *** within the jurisdiction of DHL Express USA.On June 21st, I received a shipment notification from ****** from the *********** to *******. The value of the order was $239,80 (attached is the proof). On the same day, I received a notification from DHL indicating that the package was en route (also attached). However, on June 23rd, I received three separate emails from DHL demanding a duty payment of Two Hundred and Thirty-Two Thousand, Three Hundred and Eight Naira and one kobo. Which is almost the amount paid for the order. I received a follow-up email from ***********************, a DHL staff member, requesting the payment. Upon noticing the excessive duty payment and the persistent emails, I contacted Vlisco to cancel the order and request a refund. Vlisco promptly responded by requesting that DHL return the order to them. On July 8th, 2024, I received an email from *********************** stating that my order would only be shipped back to Vlisco upon payment of Two Hundred and Thirty-Nine Thousand, One Hundred and Twenty-Three Naira, and one kobo. Despite multiple attempts to contact DHL, I have been unable to resolve this issue. I believe DHL is intentionally trying to frustrate me into paying the excessive duty fee, even though I have canceled the order through Vlisco. I have had prior issues with DHL and hope that BBB can assist me in resolving this matter. DHL Express should please caution their staff in *****, ******* and have them send the parcel back to ******************.

    Good morning.

    I'm pleased to report that ****** has initiated a refund for the package that DHL held, despite no communication from either company regarding the reason for the refund. Although I'm satisfied with the refund, I'm still puzzled by the lack of communication. Nevertheless, I'm grateful for your assistance in this matter, and I'd like to consider the case closed. Thank you for your tireless support and advocacy for those facing challenges. Your help has been invaluable, and I appreciate all that you do

    I have a package #**************** with DHL Ecommerce. It was originally scheduled to deliver on July 16th. Late it was changed to July 18th. The shipping status says Arrived Shipping Partner ********* **** Awaiting Item on July 14th and has not been updated ever since. I emailed them without getting any replies.I called them several times and couldn't be connected to customer service representative.When I finally talk to their customer representative, she tried to tell me the deadline for shipping is tomorrow not today. I asked her to look the information on their website and then she acknowledge it was today. But she couldn't provide me with any helpful information and only tells me to wait for 24/48 hrs or contact the shipper. Then she was not responding to my questions and told me she couldn't hear me well.

    Greetings *********

    Thank you for sharing your experience when calling in to get information on your package. We will use this opportunity to re-train our customer service representatives. 

    We are sorry that you have not received your package. We have reviewed the tracking information and researched the shipment details which indicates the package has experienced a service/transit delay. However, the available information does not provide any insight into the specific reason for the delay. Either website DHL or **** will not receive any further updated tracking information until the package reaches its next destination for additional package scans. Since the package has not received any tracking scans or updates from ****, we are not able to obtain any additional information. There are times when an individual package may be delayed during processing and transit; and there is no clearly identifiable explanation. This appears to be one of those cases. 

    Due to the time frame lapse and no event scans, we recommend contacting the seller/merchant to see if they can offer any options of assistance for the non-delivered package. They can take any necessary steps to file a claim with us per our contractual agreement. Sorry for any inconvenience experienced.

    Sincerely,
    DHL eCommerce Team

    Business Response

    Date: 07/15/2024

    Greetings ****,

    We are sorry that you have not received your package. When a package does not reach the consumer within its expected delivery date it may be experiencing a service/transit delay. Unfortunately, since the *** or **** tracking number was not provided we were unable to research. 

    We apologize for any confusion regarding the possible duties and taxes on your package. While it is the responsibility of the sender to inform you about the potential fees, we understand the inconvenience this may have caused. Under Canadian law, any imports from the U.S. over 40 CAD are subject to import taxes. It is not a requirement to prepay the duties/taxes through ***. We help facilitate the payment to CBSA ******************************* for faster customs clearance. Your package will still continue to be delivered to you, even if pre-payment is not received. However, the package will then be subject to collection of any duties and/or taxes assessed by CBSA.

    As a courtesy we email the Pre-payment forms to the customer to pay the duties & taxes + processing fee upfront, so that you can receive your package without delay through customs. These fees are not payments we keep for ourselves, these fees go directly to the international customs clearance agency. This handling charge is the CUSTOMS ENTRY FEE which is charged for all packages entering internationally. You would have to pay this fee regardless of if you pre-paid with us, or if you wait until the package is delivered by the local postal service (C.O.D.) 

    We recommend contacting your seller (merchant) of the package if you have any further grievances, and they can take any necessary steps to provide you with further options of assistance.

    Sincerely,
    DHL eCommerce Solutions

    DHL has my package but refuses to deliver it. The message on their website regarding my tracking number says "The shipment could not be delivered and will be sent to the Branch **********************************". My tracking number is LZ314868236US. So, I know where it is (from the tracking) but I do not know WHY it can't be delivered. I contacted DHL via an online form and someone emailed me back. The email said I should call their 800 number. I did but could not get though. I waited 3 hours on hold. I told the automated voice I wanted a call back. I was informed I would get a call back. I did not. I paid the **** $19.65 in shipping. They handed it off to DHL in *******. The tracking shows where my package is, so it is not lost. I want it returned to me and the shipping refunded. I do not want it delivered any longer. I sold this to the addressee though the Amazon Marketplace. The addressee filed a claim with Amazon and Amazon refunded their money. Did DHL inform the addressee to come get their package? It says "available for pickup" but the addressee did not pick it up. I don't know why, because the addressee will not communicate with me. My desired resolution is for DHL to send me back my package and refund the $19.65 I paid for shipping. The reason I believe I am due a refund is because I paid to have my package delivered and it was NOT. Service paid for but not rendered. The value of the package is $53.42. If DHL won't return my package to me, they can pay me this amount to cover my loss.

The **** hands off packages to *** for final destination delivery. This happened in regards to my package. I know this because I went to the *** website and found the tracking info there.

Alternately I will accept $53.42 to cover my loss on this package (Amazon screenshot attached showing loss). The package (as per the tracking) is not missing.

Please contact the division that has my package and instruct them to return it -- as should have already happened. It has been over a month since it reached a location NEAR where it SHOULD have been delivered. As for the suggestion that I contact the ***** I ALREADY DID. They give me the same runaround that is being attempted here. "It's someone else's responsibility". EVEN THOUGH this is a division within the SAME COMPANY.

    DHL refuses to take responsibility for the package they have (and is not lost as per the tracking) because they say ************* has it. This is the same company. As the reply from DHL acknowledges. It is a different division in the same company. As per the ****** search "Are DHL and ************* the same?", the answer is YES. "************* is a corporate brand of the mail and logistics Group DHL Group". See attachment. If DHL replies again and says they aren't responsible I will AGAIN reject their response. DHL and ************* the same company. Just different divisions. DHL in the ** should contact their *************** and tell them to send me back the package they failed to deliver.

    Greetings ******,

    As stated before, this package was not handled by DHL eCommerce Americas (bulk shipper). We are unable to assist with any refund or return shipping, as this package did not process through our division. 

    You processed and paid for delivery for this package through the ****--United ********************** If the package was insured or you purchased the endorsement of "return to sender", then the package would be returned. Returned packages are not a free service.

    Complaint: 21939976

    I am rejecting this response because:

    DHL and Deutsche Post are divisions of the same company, as you have previously admitted. This "It is a different division of the same company, therefore our division isn't responsible" argument is a dodge. Please contact YOUR *************** and request the return of my package. You say it isn't a "free service" for the item to be returned if not deliverable, but the **** website says "fees may apply" if I choose to "treat as abandoned". I selected "Return to sender", for which no fee is noted (screenshot attached). Are you telling me my item will definitely not be returned? Because I didn't pay a fee. I paid for the package to be delivered, and that didn't happen. No explanation was given. So, not only was the paid for service NOT provided, you want more money to NOT provide the service I paid for? This is ridiculous. The package (as per the tracking) is at Location: Branch ************************************. Please contact Deutsche Post (which is a division of DHL Group) and tell them to send my package BACK. Alternately you can reimburse me $53.42 to cover my loss. As previously noted, I have already contacted the **** which also is dodging responsibility. DHL has my package and DHL needs to return it -- instead of dodging responsibility for NOT providing the service DHL was paid for (via it's contract with the **** to provide final destination delivery). Thank you.

These entities are postal partners handling regular mail/parcels through local and international postal systems. If you did not pay for return shipping, you may still be able to file a claim. We recommend contacting ***** as you bought and paid for shipping this item directly through them. They may take any necessary steps or options to provide you with further assistance.

    I am rejecting this response because:

    As I stated before, i am aware that DHL eCommerce Americas and Deutsche Post are divisions within the SAME company. What I am asking is that one division contact the other division. Instead you use the "division" to dodge responsibility. You say that "he tracking information is not in our system", but that is not true. I included a screenshot of where I looked up the tracking on the *** website. I have attached the screen shot again. Why should I pay for return shipping? I paid for the package to be delivered -- and it WAS NOT. I should pay to have it sent back when I did not receive the service I originally paid for? In any case (as I previously informed you) there were fees for not having it returned. I have attached that screen shot again as well. As per the ***** there are fees for abandoned packages. Meaning no fee to have it returned. Which I indicated is what I wanted. So I don't understand why it has not been returned. It has been held for over a month and should have been sent back already. Please contact YOUR ********************** and instruct them to send my property back. Alternately I will accept $53.42 to reimburse me for my loss. Thank you.

    Greetings ******,

    We are sorry that you are experiencing this unfortunate mishap. This package was not handled by DHL eCommerce Americas (commercial bulk shipper). Unfortunately, we are not able to tell another division to resolve an issue. You have to contact that division directly, so they may assist you promptly. 

    You processed and paid for delivery through ****--United ********************** That being said, they should be able to offer you the assistance or options necessary to resolve your issue. **** can work with their postal partner ************* to resolve this issue and provide you with further assistance.

    I am rejecting this response because:

    Re "we are not able to tell another division to resolve an issue. You have to contact that division directly, so they may assist you promptly". Why not? You tell me to contact them -- I can, but you cannot? I sent an email to ************************************ I don't know if this is correct or not. I have not received a response.

    Re "You processed and paid for delivery through ****--United ********************** That being said, they should be able to offer you the assistance or options necessary to resolve your issue". Contacting the **** using their helpline was the FIRST thing I did. They did not offer assistance.

    Re "**** can work with their postal partner ************* to resolve this issue and provide you with further assistance". No, they would not do that. They, like you, denied any responsibility and said I had to contact *************. Well, I AM. ************* and DHL are the same company. Just different divisions, as you acknowledge.

    I don't speak, read or write German. I sent my email written in English. I contacted YOU because you are a division of the SAME company -- and I know that my English communications will be understood. I don't have a phone number. I don't know if I can dial a foreign phone number. I never have before. I don't know -- if I am able to call -- if I will be speaking to someone in English. Again, why I contacted YOU. Given that ************* and DHL are the same company.

    You keep replying. Would it not have taken LESS time to actually provide some help instead of replying many time saying you can't help me?

    Sincerely, *******************************

    You say you closed my complaint because the business made a good faith attempt to resolve my complaint -- but they DID NOT. They dodged responsibility by telling me I needed to contact another division within the same company. I received a response from the division that I was told to contact, and the response used the same dodge. 

    From: "***********************************" ... Good morning, Thank you for your mail. We cannot provide you with any information about the tracking number you provided. We are exclusively responsible for the *** import product. We have no access to other DHL Group products and cannot help you. 

    It is not "good faith" in my opinion to tell me that no help can be given because I contacted the wrong division within the same company, then when I contact that division they give the SAME response. No attempt was made to help AT ALL. Certainly not a "good faith" one. It was just a dodge. I don't know if there are any further steps I can take with you. I'm guessing not. But I am not satisfied with the reply I received and do not consider it a "good faith attempt".

    If there is any further help you can provide please let me know because I am definitely not satisfied with the response from the business that I received. I have attached a response of the reply from Deutsche Post (which I translated from German to English and then forwarded to myself).

DHL says they cant do anything by telephone and email today. Both are useless and it is there job to deliver packages. I should have had the package since 6/13/2024.

    Greetings *****,

    We have reviewed the tracking information and researched the shipment details which indicates the package 9261290277976238995432 had experienced a service/transit delay. We received information that an "RC failure" (delivery issue--POD's not yet received) was the specific reason for the delay. Visibility on a consumers package is limited on our end until we get the next scan from ****. It is unfortunate that we can only provide tracking information up until that point, and not at all an excuse as to why a consumers package is delivered beyond their delivery window. However, we cannot guarantee it as so many other factors come into play once the package is in transit to **** i.e: weather, transport issues, sort facility capacity,mis-sent issues, packages lost in transit, scratched barcodes, damaged packages, mechanical issues, carrier mishaps etc

    We recommend contacting your seller (merchant) of the package if you have any further grievances, and they can take any necessary steps to provide you with further options of assistance. We apologize for the inconvenience that this has caused.

It appears the package did experience a service delay.

    Greetings *******,

    We have reviewed the tracking information (**********************) and researched the shipment details which indicates the package has experienced a service/transit delay. However, the available information does not provide any insight into the specific reason for the delay. Either website DHL or **** will not receive any further updated tracking information until the package reaches its next destination for additional tracking scans. Since the package has not received any tracking scans or updates from ****, we are not able to obtain any additional information. There are times when an individual package may be delayed during processing and transit and there is no clearly identifiable explanation. This appears to be one of those cases. 

    Due to the time frame lapse and no event scans, we recommend contacting the seller/merchant for further assistance for a non-delivered package. They can take any necessary steps or options to file a claim with us per our contractual agreement. Sorry for any inconvenience experienced.

    Sincerely,

    I am rejecting this response because:

    I've already reached out to the seller and the item in transit from DHL is no longer available. It is very important the package be delivered, and it was last in DHL's hands. I would like for them to at least try to locate the package in their facility. It was never given to ***** so unless it the package was taken to another location in-between transit to ***** it must still be in DHL somewhere. I'd like confirmation if the package is lost. It seems no attempt has been make to find it, outside of checking tracking.

    We are sorry to hear about this unfortunate mishap. We have reviewed the tracking information and researched the shipment details which indicates the package has experienced a service/transit delay. The available information does not provide any insight into the specific reason for the delay or why the package has not yet been delivered.

    It is unfortunate that we can only provide tracking information up until that point, and not at all an excuse as to why a consumers package is not delivered by their delivery window. However, we cannot guarantee tracking as so many other factors come into play once the package is in transit i.e: weather, transport issues, lost in transit, damaged package, mechanical issues, carrier mishaps etcAs the scans do not show a visible cause for the whereabouts of this package, and due to the time frame of no scans, it would be deemed lost. 

    Unfortunately, all fees for items purchased/shipped, are paid to the seller/merchant. If you have any other questions or concerns regarding the shipping of the package, the seller/merchant should be able to offer further assistance for a non-delivered package.
