Très mauvaise expérience avec DHL. Mon colis devait être livré aujourd’hui. J’étais chez moi, mais le suivi indique « aucune réponse ». Pourtant, personne n’a sonné ni appelé à l’interphone.
Le plus frustrant, c’est que mon numéro de téléphone était clairement indiqué sur l’emballage. Ils auraient pu m’appeler, mais ils ne l’ont pas fait. Résultat : une livraison échouée alors que j’attendais activement mon colis. Je ne sais même pas si je vais le revoir un jour!
Un minimum de professionnalisme aurait été d’essayer de contacter le client avant de repartir avec le colis. Très décevant comme service, surtout pour une entreprise de la taille de DHL.
