DHL Express India — Deficiency in service. Inordinate delay in delivery

Address:Bangalore

We have placed an order for import of stud finder to locate electrical wiring inside walls to protect us from electrical shock while drilling for fixtures from HUIKOO LTD London on 10.6.22 costing £22.99 excluding shipping charges £19.29 from DHL EXPRESS.

The product was supposed to deiver on 20.6.22. by airmail, airway bill no.[protected].

The parcel had arrived on 14.6.22 while the delivery date to Chennai was 20.6.22.

DHL india asked us documents like copies of order and Bank statement details which were submitted without delay by emails.

All the necessary required documents were submitted in pdf formats and all documents screen shots were also sent via emails.

To our disappointment the clearance support staff continued to say the documents were not received while we have the proof of emails sending pdf dcts and screen shots in our smart phone.
She is not even responding to our query whether the documents were submitted to customs authorities for clearance. She is indifferent in not responding to our mails.

Under the circumstances we are at a loss to understand whether we should proceed to initiate further action as considered appropriate to resolve the issue.

Kindly help us in taking up the matter as early as possible to resolve the dispute.

All the required information have been provided to DHL promptly without the slightest delay. There is nothing to contact DHL about for any further information/data input.required by them.
Still the notification says "customs delay contact DHL" is illogic.
Why this deliberate attempt to obtain release of goods without any valid reason is troubling.

It looks like filing a case in consumer court against all responsible for inordinate delay is the only solution claiming financial damage would stand to solve our difficulties for sure.

The cat is out of the bag. DHL India is wantanly trying to give a bogus information that the responses sought from us had not been received by them even though we have confirmation of the responses sent to them on email for whatever clarification sought by them saying they have not received the sent emails.
This is a deliberate trick wantanly followed by them to make money by way of warehouse and demurrage charges for no fault on us.

The govt should have a check on this malpractice by adopting tough measures n putting a schedule for release of parcels at airports.

Customers are advised to be careful about
This kind of tactics by DHL India.
