DHL - King of excuses and delays

Shipment arrives Monday last week. No one in DHL let's me know. After making numerous calls i finally get the invoice for clearance on Thursday. I make payment immediately from my ABSA to their ABSA account.

Today i call again to follow up. Was told they waiting for my payment to reflect into their account. I advised it was paid from ABSA to ABSA it's immediate. The genius argues it takes 3 days!!! I offer to send her my proof of payment. She refuses and says she doesn't need it. So i ask where to from here? She tells me i must just wait!!

As i side note, i used to use DHL for my business. We spent over 1mil Rand a year with DHL. Every shipment was a new problem, i cancelled the contract. This latest shipment is from a supplier who insisted on using DHL.

I actually do not know how DHL still exists.

Thank you for taking my call. I appreciate that this has not been a happy encounter with DHL Express, as we strive to offer a top quality service at all times. Incidents of this nature are not taken lightly and we appreciate feedback from our valued customers in order to improve on our services.

As discussed, the matter in regards to the payment has been resolved. Your shipment has been submitted for clearance, we are currently waiting for Customs to issue us with feedback.

Please expect an email from me shortly and I will be in contact again with an update no later than 11H30 today.

Again, I regret and inconvenience and undue frustration caused by this matter.

Kindest regards.
