Absolutely PATHETIC SERVICE

In the last week I used DHL for 2 shipments. Every single time they STATE the delivery on the tracking, then when the delivery date expire (because of NO DELIVERY) - they just don't update again. Every single time I had to phone in, twice a DAY, for 7 days - every single time the call takes 10 minutes. Every single TIME I have to SPELL my email address, give them my contact number - but STILL.... they JUST DON'T PHONE ME BACK, so that is why I have to phone twice everyday. Then AFTER the first shipment is DELIVERED, I get 3 x sms's stating that my shipment is ON ITS WAY... I have to pay R773.50 (168.3+81.20+150)... Once AGAIN B E Y O N D P A T H E T I C: The actual calculation is R399.50. So they threaten NOT to deliver the shipment, but it's already delivered... A WEEK before the sms.... These shipments are also LOW value items, but they want to double charge me???

Wake UP DHL South AFRICA!!!!

In future I will only deal with ARAMEX, as DHL service is beyond pathetic.
