DHL are are a buntch of incompetint people

HI have a package from China that I am waiting for that was supposed to be with me on Wednesday 05-08-2015 however my parcel was in JHB last week Friday, so on Monday I tracked the parcel and found that it is still in JHB I contacted them and asked the why my parcel is still there and they said that no it is being retained by customs I have to pay 10% tax, however no one contacts me to tell me that my parcel is being retained. so I pay the money then send proof and still I waited now my parcel is being retained again for inspection and I need to send them the proof of payment of the product not that tax. why must I do this? as the invoice is with the product if they did not have it how did they then tax me??? also now I have to provide them with SABS documents this is not my responsibility this is DHL they must provide all the documents that they receive from the supplier now I must do there work for them. I don't have what they need they should have been issued with this when the parcel was collected as that is SOP, now I have lost sales as my parcel has not arrived and my customers said that my service is bad. also keep in mind that i paid around R3000 for excluding tax

Hello frans4,

I apologize profusely for the disruption you have been caused with regards to this parcel.

Kindly note that your shipment is detained by Customs Border Control Unit for SABS (South African Bureau of Standards) and value verification. Thembelihle has sent you the details of what was required and the paperwork was submitted to customs pending release. We will keep you updated on the progress.
