The Worst Shipping Company Ever

The Shipping Company from Hell

When DHL first started competing with shipping companies like UPS and FedEx, their commercials showed delivery drivers who were friendly, careful about your packages, and happy. Unfortunately, this couldn't be any further from the truth. The experiences I have had with this shipping company have been far from happy or friendly. In fact, the past few times I have dealt with DHL have been a complete nightmare. Not only are the employees of this shipping company unhappy, rushed, unfriendly, but they also lie. The following experiences are just two of the worst problems I have faced when dealing with this shipping company.

My First Troubling Experience with the Shipping Company DHL

I'll admit it that when I first started receiving packages that were shipped through DHL, the employees were not any different than those of other shipping companies. But, as time went on things began to change. The first thing I noticed was the rush of these employees and their unfriendly nature. Now I know these people are on a tight schedule, but even employees of UPS take the time to offer a friendly hello. DHL is quite different. The drivers for DHL shove packages into your hands and seem greatly annoyed at the time it takes for you to sign for your shipment. I could live with these unpleasant circumstances, but lies I cannot live with. A few weeks before Christmas, I had a package that was supposed to arrive. I waited at home the day. I had tracked the package and knew the time that DHL ran, but the package didn't come. I checked the website to see a message stating that DHL had attempted to deliver the package, but the recipient wasn't at home and the package would be redelivered on Monday. I cannot begin to explain how irritated I was. The package not arriving was one thing and I could have lived with it being late, but to lie and say that they had attempted to deliver the package when they obviously hadn't was the beginning of my hatred for this shipping company.
