Default DHL Joke

Has anybody had such bad service from DHL?
I have a delivery from Komplett, sent via DHL.
Usually, they aren't too bad.
I have now waited a week. As you can see, I almost got it delivered
yesterday.
I guess they've had it so long, they don't want to give it away.

Yes I can beat that, only in my case although web site stated they
attempted delivery they NEVER did until the day it was delivered; I
spent ages chasing them and being let down many times. Although I
complained, DHL just do not care!

Bloody 'ell mate, you've got some patience. I thought I was doing well
keeping calm for a week.
They had you going for 3.5 weeks. I can't believe they get away with these
things.
I guess I should complain to Komplett.

No Complain to DHL, they are the ones that held it up.

I figure that complaining to DHL will do bugger all, since they should be
aware of their delivery statistics. It seems that they don't mind jerking
some people around.

On the other hand, if Komplett get enough complaints from customers unhappy
with DHL, perhaps they will reconsider their choice of courier.
As a result, DHL would then need to make a better effort at delivery
deadlines if they wish to keep their customers.

It's not working with ****ty Link so I doubt it'll be any more
effective for DHL.

Worked with ParcelFarce once, well did not 'work' as such but lost then a
large national account when they could not deliver next day items 26 miles
inside 3 days, ended up with the supplier sending us stuff by Taxi, next
time the courier contract came up ParcelFarce were replaced with Business
Post and service improved dramatically.
