Strange Rates from DHL
Today I was shocked once I visited the DHL counter in City Centre and asked him the cost of sending one ordinary mobile to my home country. The guy at the counter started calculation and asked me the price of mobile. I told him around QR 300-400. After checking his catalog, he told me that the shipping cost of this mobile will be QR 429/-
I was really shocked to hear that as I was sending this phone to my friend back my home country in Asia.
Can you please share your experience, if DHL is doing the same to everybody. As I know I sent the same type of phone from Dubai in 50 only through one urgent courier.
no jack, they tie the package to a homing pigeon's feet..
Dont they just dump it in a container to be carried in flight?
The rates are not according to weight... which should have been the case...
Maybe they dont get much cargo ...so charge an average rate...,:(
But sending mobile by courier is one silly idea...
does anyone understand the principle and concept of courier service? this is no post or mail.
you want cheap go to post office or better send him the cash to purchase a mobile he really likes
less price - minor heart attack
normal price - normal heart attack (you either survive or you dont)
high price - major heart attack (which mean FORGET IT).
Aramax had asked for QR 150 to send a document to Dubai and DHL wanted QR 200. First flight did the job for me for QR 50.
i get shocked when my things get misplaced or lost at the destination
small company but good and prompt service. ull be shocked with their low prices for sure.
I sent a package for Qr 168 with aramex, where dhl quoted me for Qr430...
Try Aramex rates are abour 50% less..
Even 20 years ago DHL wanted 80 riyals for me to send a hire car key back to Heathrow.
i send one document to philippines... it cost me 500 qr... just doha to manila...
Worse service, very expensive, never take the responsibilities once anything is lost, they blame it on the customer itself(WORSE CUSTOMER SERVICE)
You can try TNT, SKYCOM EXPRESS OR ARAMEX.
