My Go-To Delivery Service: DHL's Top-Notch Performance for 20+ Years

summarizeEditor's Summary

I've been blown away by DHL's delivery service in Moscow and the UK. Their reliability and speed have consistently impressed me, especially considering the complexities of international shipping. My husband and I have had a seamless experience with DHL, and one of the things that sets them apart is their commitment to quality and customer support. It's not every day you find a shipping company that exceeds expectations, but DHL does just that. They've got a top-notch tracking system, responsive customer support, and a focus on quality that's hard to beat. Plus, their prices are competitive, especially considering the level of service you receive.

I've gotta say, my personal experience with DHL's delivery service in Moscow was nothing short of amazing, especially in the early days. And in the UK, it was top-notch, honest, and without a single complaint.
It's funny, no matter where you look on this platform, there are always some negative comments about DPD or other services. But my husband was the first to choose DHL's services, and we've never looked back.
He sent a package – which was crucial for our future, not just any package, but documents, a bank book, and some other important stuff – to the UK. And let me tell you, the process was smooth and hassle-free. He had to pre-arrange the time and location for the driver to pick it up, but that was it. He made a call to the nearest DHL office, booked a pickup, and a guy showed up on time and collected the package.
DHL has a list of restricted items, and in our case, it was physical CDs with recorded important facts about my visa. But even in a restricted case, DHL won't just take something out of the package on their own. I'm attaching our email exchange from that time – our email:
"Phoned DHL again but I need to speak to someone specific in Newport. They won't be in until after 11am but they have been asked to phone me then. The woman I spoke to said they can't just take something out, I would need to send an email of authorisation (or something like that) but I expect we will know better when this other person phones me back."

So, why did they do that? Well, they wanted to take out something they weren't supposed to, but instead, my husband's package was returned to him the same day, with the CD removed and handed back on transit. And with their tracking service, I could see every movement of our package from Moscow, where I was still receiving updates at the time.
I was in Moscow when the delivery was supposed to arrive, and about 30 minutes before the expected time, the DHL operator called me. I hadn't expected this, but it's standard practice to leave a phone number for the recipient in case of an emergency. My husband had left his number, and the operator gave me a heads up on the delivery time, which matched the schedule perfectly.
The communication was correct, fast, and efficient. We paid around £90 for the service, which is a normal tariff, and we knew that in our case, where speed and accuracy were crucial, DHL was the right choice.
I used to work at the Russian Post, so I know the ins and outs, and unfortunately, the inconsistencies. But DHL is a different story – they've got it down to a science.
Here in our country, we often receive packages delivered by DHL Express. And I can confidently say that the service and drivers are top-notch, and they're not just foreigners, but locals – British people.
The vans are always clean, and the drivers are careful. In contrast, DPD might reroute packages or stop incorrectly, but that's due to the strict requirements and penalties for drivers. I know firsthand. It's not a fault in itself, but rather a question for the higher echelons of DPD.
DHL's website is great – you can organize and choose a more suitable delivery option, and even track your package (sent and received). The tracking works seamlessly. Everything is clear and easy to understand. You can even check the status on the DHL Tracking page by entering the track & trace number directly from your computer's homepage. It's a lot faster that way.

As a matter of fact, we're even considering using DHL to send our inheritance from Moscow soon – we've been thinking about it for years.
I've been really impressed with DHL's reliability and efficiency. They've made a huge difference in our lives.
