kyc can't be done with dnd activated

I am unable to do KYC for an imported parcel because I have DND (Do Not Disturb) enabled on my mobile. So I am unable to login to upload the KYC documents.
This is crazy.

For almost every online transaction, one requires an OTP, and I have been getting OTP and other tracking messages from reputed companies with DND on.

Why can't DHL do the same?

I was asked to give someone else's number...

Hi,
This is regarding one of the shipments that is supposed to be delivered to my son on dec 17th and still stuck at your department due to kyc team irresponsibility and no responses.

making money in the name of warehouse charges

Address: Bangalore, Karnataka, 560076
Website: www.dhl.co.in

Dhl india has a standard clearance charge of rs 500.00 + gst. However, they are making extra money in the name of bonded storage fees.
Dhl india states, if the package doesn't clear within 3 days of arrival, they charge addition rs 500 as storage fees.

We import through ups, fedex, aramex as well but none of them had additional warehousing charges in cases of delay.

Dhl india has very unfair method of...

customs charge levied on product

Website: www.logistics.dhl/in-en/home.html

Briefly, I had ordered for modeling tools from Cerart (Italy), with a total charge of 100 euros (inclusive of 35 euros shipping).
It was most dissatisfying to realize that I had to pay an additional 4000 INR as customs charge to the DHL courier at my doorstep. As suggested by the courier person, I did speak to the customer service agent, who mentioned that a customs charge is levied on all items except documents.

I have sent documents in size 1 envelope weighing less than 500 grams from UK to India. I have been billed additionally rupees5458 for customs clearance, storage charges and conversion rate of 1 GBP to INR= 107.35 as of 14/April/2024. The rate is not this high.

Customs charges are only INR 1879 and you can do the rest caclulations that DHL is pocketing themselves.

Charges includes, Surcharges, Fees and warehouse storage costs for 1 day.

This means the DHL team can physically verify the Size 1 envelope which is stored in their own warehouse and take photographs as evidence but because they want to pocket as much money as possible.

I will never use this service again.

Totally waste of time and money.

      My shipment ([protected]) from UK to India is still not delivered since 8 days.
      Still it is not cleared from Banglore. Daily they are asking so many additional requirements. It is only some documents and not any valued items.
      Because o[censored]rgency we use DHL instead of ordinary post.
      If I send it in ordinary post, it is supposed to be delivered before.

            Address: Mumbai

            We imported a parcel from China. The supplier by mistake filed an incorrect invoice with DHL China. The Invoice included only the product price, but missed the courier cost.
            DHL India filed the Bill of Entry with this incorrect amount.
            Once we learnt of the mistake, we asked our chinese supplier to amend the invoice with courier cost included.
            However, DHL Express India bluntly denied to amend the Bill of India. They can simply amend it using the article 149. However, they are denying to support.
            Due to this, our IDPMS is open with incorrect amount. Please help push DHL to support and close this case
            DHL Express India customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.
            Thank you.
            We have even agreed to whatever fees that DHL needs to solve this issue. However, they bluntly denied to solve it.
            Hope this complaint will help us resolve it.

              Dear Sir / Madam,

              This is regarding my household transportation material . I was sending my stuff to my old parents from Faridabad (Haryana) to Kanpur (Up) . I got this company through website and which is DHL . Company gave me a quotation of Rs. 20, 000 before loading and once they have loaded the stuff they have changed the quotation to Rs. 33, 900, even i have paid that amount . They have loaded the household stuff on 30th June 2023 and i was promised stuff to be delivered within 2 days (2nd july ) but my stuff got delivered after 9 days (8th July 2023) . I have faced lot of harassment, they abused me in these 9 days, they were not answering my calls . I really faced hard time because of this delivery . Delivery also carried some important documents which was supposed to use for my Neice interview which she was failed to attend on Tuesday and she lost the job beacuse of that ( 4th july 2023) . Also my bed, dining table and sofas were to reinstalled in kanpur in 1st floor for which i paid already, they have left that stuff in ground floor with my old parents, we have hired movers and packers services again to take that to the first floor and i have paid good amount for that as well . I need to be compassionate for this harassment, time and money loss .

                I had been sent a courier from Taylor & Francis USA 2 weeks back but as yet I have not yet received the same. The issue was that there was a small anomaly with the spelling in my AAdhar card and I had sent a declaration form in your website link provided for the same. But even after multiple submissions, my application got rejected and I am now really fed up with your tiresome process. What needs to be done for receiving the courier? else you can return back to the sender itself and I will ask them to send by another courier. I have not faced such an issue previously, the customer support is very poor and not helping me. I am an aged man 80 plus and do not wish to go for any legal proceedings. Please do the needful at the earliest.
