Extremely poor customer service

My delivery was supposed to arrive on the 02nd December 2025 and till now I have not received it. When I contact them they keep on saying parcel will be delivered tomorrow and tomorrow comes but nothing is delivered. I am actually upset and disgrantled by all this bad customer service.

The worst part is that I actually bought a gift for someone and that person left this morning for Eastern Cape meaning now I have to pay yet another fee to a courier company and courier the parcel to Eastern Cape which is really not fair on my side.

Once again I'm promised another tomorrow. I wonder how many weeks it's going to take to deliver a parcel from Bellville to Khayelitsha???? The first mistake DHL did was to transfer my parcel to another courier company without consulting with me because that is what's causing this major delays.

Your guys lack seriousness, you're talking about afternoon feedbacks in a matter that has been dragging since Monday. What does a person need to do in order for you guys to have a sense of urgency. Your are inconveniencing me and you incompetence is going to cost me a lot.

You're a sorry excuse of a courier company and you don't deserve to be servicing people.

And I still maintain, it would have been more convenient for me to go collect my parcel either than this *******. But noooo, you guys had to decide for me and transferred my parcel to your ****py nonsense of a courier company called RAM......have you checked how bad their reviews are????? They take months to deliver people's parcels and some of them get damaged along the way. The nerve you have partnering with such a company.

There's no need to keep on contacting me whereas you have my delivery address. You can just come deliver but noooo you're trying to make it seem as though you care but in an honest opinion you guys don't care.
