Poor communication and major delays.

Our supplier in Santiago shipped goods via DHL on 6 May 2026, and we paid DHL South Africa for shipping/clearance on 8 May. The tracking status was stuck "On Hold" for a solid week. On the actual day of expected delivery (13 May), the package was still in Chile. DHL never reached out to explain why. Only when we called them did they reveal that export documentation was missing from the supplier's broker. Leaving a customer completely in the dark for a week after taking payment is unacceptable service. We feel ****** of a week where we could reached out to our supplier. Now we have a client that might likely not do any business with us either.
