My DHL adventure continues :weary: (dhl rant, please don’t really read unless you want to be entertained!)

The parcel was out for delivery yesterday and they didn’t delivered…
Their appalling customer support told me that they are too busy due to Covid…
I’ve just saw a DHL van in the town next to mine (perhaps the driver serving my area) parked under a nice shaded tree, the driver bare foot sticking out the window while lying down in his reclined seat with his phone in landscape mode (too busy watching movie/playing games in the middle of the afternoon!)
My Parcel was back at the depot last night. No news today…
I call support (why not out for delivery today). As they don’t reply to email ticket, only a single central automated phone number (“don’t call us, check online” type of message) after navigating a few menus and 47 minutes in a queue, i spoke to a human (after reflection on the conversation, i am no sure if she was human after all!)
GUESS WHAT… THEY LOST IT.
They don’t know where the parcel is in the depot.
She ask me for a detailed description of the parcel so that they can look for it! What is on the parcel? Well it’s a cardboard box with a label and my address and DHL tracking on it…
Next time, can philips package the ppm in bright yellow boxes with big pink elephants on it so that it is easier to describe…

No way to call the depot directly either but she did confirm the depot (oh no not that one again!)
But, has i had the same story with them now on 4 (non-covid) deliveries (100% failure so far, the last delivery took an extra 4 days compare to the first “out for delivery”) I have been to the depot a few time and have their direct number.
I called the depot, same story, no idea where it is in the depot. It was scanned back in at 10:00pm last night but not idea where they put it when emptying the van (what about leaving it in the van for next day delivery?)
Anyway, a previous time i had this issue, i went to the depot and ask for my parcel (which they also lost)… Funny enough they found it straight away!) i might have to drive 2 hrs tonight and do the same again for the ppm… Or take the risk to maybe get it sometime next week!

THIS LONG RANT Is simply an illustration that may explain why it takes so long for the Parcel to arrive… Lost a few time along the way until they wonder what’s that palette full of boxes in a corner of an obscure depot somewhere! Then they remember and scan it…

Thank Ivo
Extremely useful as always! What would the forum do without you :+1::clap:

Quick update on my DHL adventure.
I am a the depot to collect, I gave the tracking reference number only and suggested to show the guy some pictures… He casually replied… “Naaaa i will find it”.
Indeed, 2 minutes later he came back with it :grinning:
Perhaps they did know where it was after all. :lying_face:
The END! (hopefully)

Conclusion of the story, I’ve got it in my hand and on the way back home to open the box… :grinning:
First impression, the box is much smaller than what i expected :+1:

Patience everyone, yours will be with you soon!

They might’ve been hoping you would file a claim, get a new one sent, and then they could just keep it…

Glad I could help and that you have it!

Hi, @Philips_Support_N and @IvoGrijt,

A quick question regarding this offer to purchase a second PPM at the price that we initially paid for it. This question might be useful for all backers actually who are considering it

I haven’t actually received mine yet, so I am hoping that it might be possible if there could be one more final round of this “secret” discount. I am actually interested in the offer, but without knowing how good the PPM is, I think it would be fairer for all us later receivers to get the chance to play with ours first before making a commitment for one more.

As I said, I’m very much considering it for a present for my parents, but I’d like to test it first.

I hope you’ll consider this for the ones who are yet to receive it yet :smiley:

Thanks

David

The offer doesn’t state an end date, so… you should still have some time. I think we will announce when it’s last call for closing time om this campaign.

PhilpsNono might not like me saying this but I’m so confident you’ll want one for your folks I’m going to do so anyways

Request and use the link, but just don’t pay it yet. If you then end up not wanting it, you just have it cancelled. If you want the extra ones, you pay for them :bulb:

You’re good @IvoGrijt, “ones” subliminally planting that in my head. Guess I’ll go buy 3 now!

@Philips_Support_N shouldn’t hate you for saying that, you’re now expanding your job description to Salesman!

20% cut for each sale you make :stuck_out_tongue:

The more people buy and love this, the longer I will be able to enjoy mine with updates and such due to the large user base. That’s been one of the main motivations for me to even be on this forum and now team.

Applies to all of us, so it’s a big incentive. I’m like a child at Christmas, right now. I just want my toy.

Come on DHL. I’m waitingggg

@IvoGrijt Hi, the street number of my delivery address has been wrongly encoded by DHL. Can you do something to correct it? Regards

Hi @IvoGrijt

Any update from the forwarder / DHL? I know you were going to e-mail them requesting info.

Thanks!

@bh2a: If the package is already in your country, then contact DHL directly first and try to get it fixed. If that doesn’t work out let me know.

@JonHoff nothing yet unfortunately :pensive:

ID 14552 Almost a month has received the tracking number There is no progress at all. Why? Because
