DHL is ****ing my Small Business Green S******

DHL Africa is arguably the worst logistics company to use. After paying them so much money for services and not getting any recourse on my claims, copying in @Hennie Heymans & Daniella De Pauw in emails. I am still not getting any assistance from DHL. This has made me lose out on operational income and has negatively impacted on my relationship with a new client we had just signed on to launch a new campaign. __________________________

Today I am still waiting for a shipment that was due to arrive on 29/09/2019 and later changed to 03/10/2019. Again, by the day, I am losing out on income which I expect to be recovered from someone at DHL Africa as I have suffered operational income and reputational damage from my client who was meant to launch a massive campaign through me which I committed to and have received part payment for.

To my understanding with the current Sea Freight shipment, this was meant to be collected on 30/09/2019 where we later communicated that it be collected today from the shipper. There has been NO communication on the collected from DHL. Except for that I will be receiving a full refund as there was miscommunication - I am also still waiting for that full refund of R46 316.66.

The other cargo which was due to arrive last month is currently with customs, based on the communication I have received from Ntokozo. It is Friday and I do not want to be in the same position I was in for the past few weeks. I am frustrated and will seek recourse of claiming against DHL Africa (https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/main/?event=main.consumer.rights#inline-nav-2 | https://www.logistics.dhl/za-en/home/footer/dispute-resolution.html).

Dear Fezile

I would like to profusely apologise about the inconvenience and frustration  you had to go through due to this shipment. 

Whilst we all operate under the DHL banner, we are different entities doing different functions, all operating separately with our own procedures and areas of excellence.

We have DHL Express, whereby we specialize in Express consignments. Our service includes Track & Trace and Door-to-Door service. 

I will forward your complaint to sea freight division for further assistance.

Kind Regards
Nosicelo Manentsa
