If I could give a zero star I would. I had a friend send me a package from Hong Kong via DHL. We have done this at least 8 times in the year prior. All the sudden this time my package is "randomly" inspected and DHL wants my SSN and EIN number. I received an email from DHL asking for additional information which I provide. I then get another email asking for the exact information again because it did not reach their "standards" as if the answer would change. I request a call back and never received one, then I was told I would receive another call back and again no one called. After I get the specific phone number to the import department I am told I can not be transferred to a agent and that I can only email them any information they need. After emailing the same information I do not receive any reply barring qn automated your case is in review message. I then receive an email from a different import agent replying to me and telling me they would call me. They never did call me. In addition to that I get another automated email telling me I owe DHL $324.66 When I called in asking for the supervisor I was told they can only put me on hold for up to 2 minutes. After 10 minutes on hold I finally reach a supervisor who is very snippy with me and claims the sender made a mistake on the paperwork. We have done the exact same shipment with the exact same company for over a year at least 8 times. We just copy and paste the information. Not once had this ever happen. I was told on top of that if I didn't pay the $324.66 DHL would send my package back to Hong Kong. I refuse to be extorted they can send the package back to Hong Kong I will ship with a different service and not have to deal with the hell that is DHL.
