★★★★ Karen Weber 6/18/2026 v5.14.0
Avoid this company like the plague! They are a joke! Our shipments got there on May 19th. A friend of mine was charged $32.79 too much. We know this, because when we contacted their customs department, she told us our shipments haven't been delivered yet because we hadn't paid our duties. Then she proceeded to tell my friend, because we were on a 3-way call, she owed $48.48, we'll both of us had paid, me $48.48 and her $81.27! Now, the excuse is customs wants to investigate the package.
★★★★ Abímbọ́lá Olútáyọ̀ 6/18/2026 v5.14.0
the parcel was not brought to my door, but left downstairs by the communal door. Anyone could have taken it. I was waiting on a crutch by my main door for him to bring it up
★★★★ Victoria Lidiard 6/18/2026
doesn't recognise DHL shipment references (which track fine on their website) - if this is the replacement for the DHL ecom app that they have ceased then it's pretty poor. Best to use the website until they can be bothered to make this work and properly migrate accounts and profiles.
★★★★ paulie paul 6/17/2026
This DHL APP is stupid every time you log in you have to type your Tracking number 🙄 I'll stick with the DHL browser, All the same these APPS especially banking one's, you have more functionality on the browsers than the Apps Absurd 🤬

★★★★ Azure Grim94 6/15/2026 v5.14.0

★★★★ Steve Smithies 6/15/2026 v5.14.0
I'm busy, stop interrupting me with a rating nag.
★★★★ Muhunnud Mangoush 6/12/2026 v5.14.0
One of the worst delivery experiences I've had in the Netherlands. I paid for a DHL pickup, waited during the agreed time window, and nobody showed up. Later, I was told the courier arrived too early. For the refund, instead of checking their own records, I was asked numerous questions as if I had to prove my case. In contrast, PostNL delivered my envelope smoothly and professionally. Mistakes happen, but accountability matters.
★★★★ Dave Wright 6/11/2026 v5.14.0

★★★★ Andy Thorn 6/2/2026 v5.14.0
App is useless. Sender emailed to say it's on the way, but the App doesn't recognize the tracking ID that DHL themselves provided
★★★★ Sergio Adrian Lagunas Pinacho 6/2/2026 v5.14.0

Basura de paqueteria. En mi vida vuelvo a pedir por esta paquetería, un completo mugrero. He tratado de comunicarme mil veces con ellos y nadie contesta, por llamada, whatsapp, correo, y por ningun lado te contestan. Tengo un paquete muy caro que nunca me llegó, y no me regresan mi dinero.

★★★★ Basket 5/22/2026 v5.14.0
een ster. ik ben een uur in gesprek geweest met het bot-systeem over hoe ik ervoor kan zorgen dat ik geen handtekening hoef te zetten voor een pakketje. uiteindelijk wou ik m bij de Budget Food in de buurt droppen (die pakketjes aanneemt volgens de website), en die werd niet laten zien??? dus nu moet ik NOG langer wachten op mijn pakketje, allemaal om keuzes die ik zelf niet heb gemaakt. Ik moest ook 4x inloggen.
★★★★ El Di 5/20/2026 v5.14.0
