Charged wrong tariff and I had to correct it and now I have to run after them for delivery

I had a parcel coming from japan. It's car parts. First they charged them on a wrong tariff which was for brake parts for heavy vehicle. I looked up the correct tariff code and sent to them I never got a response. On Sunday I called and got Johan and he sent me an email which I rep**** to with the correct tariff code. Then there was no response still. On Tuesday I called and Spoke to Sihle who went to check and called me back to say they've updated the invoice and he'll email me the invoice. No response still. On Wednesday I got hold of some who fortunately sent me the correct invoice. I paid immediately and advised them that I paid. The shipment was released by customs same Wednesday. I was hoping to get a delivery today but still nothing. I called and was told the delivery will be tomorrow. I then asked to collect the parcel from their sorting centre as I have done so many times before. To my shock I was told they need to inform someone who will then get an authorisation letter form their manager and then they will email me. The day is ending and still I haven't heard anything from anyone.

I have used DHL before, when a parcel is released it usually delivered the following day in the morning. Since when did this perfect service change to this ******* service. I need these parts on Tuesday as that's when they were supposed to be delivered and now it's Thursday going to Friday but I'm still no joy. I'm very ****ed off with your service - it's pathetic and even your staff is not helpful.

Dear Sipho,

Thank you for contacting DHL Express.

Please accept my sincerest apologies regarding the manner in which this matter has been handled. This is from clearance (in receiving an Invoice with incorrect tariff code) to the hand over to third party RAM for delivery .

As it currently stands, we have escalated the matter internally to ensure that your shipment is delivered to you tomorrow.

I understand that the service has been of great disappointment to you and assure you that this is not the level of Service DHL Prides itself in . The matter is being investigated internally and will be addressed with the responsible individuals to ensure that this does not re-occur .

Please allow us time to investigate the matter - I will be in contact again tomorrow with additional updates on this case.

We are on it !

Best Regards,

Buhle Sekoboane
