PARCEL DELIVERY

 * Who should I contact if I have a query?
   
   Firstly, check the FAQ's on this page - many of the most common queries can
   be answered here.
   
   If you would like to talk to one of our advisors regarding your delivery,

   7am - 8pm, Saturday 8am - 6pm. Please have the shipment number and delivery
   postcode to hand to assist with the enquiry.
   
   There are also alternative ways of making contact via Facebook and Twitter.

 * What is my shipment number?
   
   The shipment number is the number allocated to your parcel and is typically
   14 numerical digits.
   
   If your shipment number contains both letters and numbers, please go online
   to track.dhlparcel.co.uk and enter your shipment number and postcode.
   
   If you have not been provided with this information, the sender of the parcel
   will be able to give these details.

 * Can I track my parcel?
   
   If you're waiting for a parcel, you can track the parcel here.
   
   Please refer to our parcel tracker document for an explanation of the status
   of your delivery.

 * When will my parcel arrive?
   
   On the morning of the delivery, a 1 hour delivery window will be provided.
   Where the sender of your parcel has provided your mobile number or email
   address, we will send you a notification.
   
   If we have not been provided with this information, you can view the delivery
   window by going to our track a parcel page and entering your shipment number
   and delivery postcode.

 * What will happen if I am not at home?
   
   In the event that your parcel has been sent on a service that requires a
   signature at the specified delivery address and there is no-one at home, the
   driver will leave a calling card. Where the sender of your parcel has
   provided your mobile number or email address, we will send you a notification
   confirming this.
   
   The card and notification will direct you to dhlparcel.co.uk where using
   the track a parcel function will give you the options available
   
   This will include one or more of the following options:
   
    * Leave in a safe place
    * Leave with a neighbour
    * Collect from a DHL Parcel UK ServicePoint
    * Collect from the DHL Parcel Depot
    * Change delivery day

 * Can you notify me when my driver is about to deliver?
   
   On the day of delivery you are able to select to receive a 'You're next'
   notification when the driver is one stop away, typically 5-15 minutes before
   the delivery.
   
   This is available either from the link on the 1 hour delivery window
   notification, or you can opt for this notification by visiting the track a
   parcel area.

 * I've received a calling card but I was at home?
   
   Our driver will make all attempts possible to let you know that they have
   arrived to deliver your parcel, but sometimes may still miss you.
   
   Please do check the calling card as the driver will leave this to indicate if
   your parcel has been left with a neighbour, left safe, or to advise that
   delivery will be re-attempted the following working day. 

 * I've received a calling card on a Saturday - when will my parcel be
   delivered?
   
   If you have received one of our calling cards on a Saturday, please note that
   your delivery will automatically be reattempted on Monday. There is no
   requirement for you to contact us unless you wish to reschedule to an
   alternative day.

 * Can my driver come back today?
   
   The driver will be unable to come back to you today as they may already be
   outside of your area.

 * What is your complaints process?
   
   To view our complaints process, please click here. 

 * Where does DHL Parcel UK apply a city congestion charge?
   
   For a full list of postcodes affected, please visit our City Congestion
   Charge page.

 * I'm expecting a parcel that I have purchased online from a seller in the EU.
   Will I need to pay duty and tax charges?
   
   Customs duty applies if the item is valued over £135 
   
    * Whether duty is payable will depend on the rules of origin - if the item
      was made and manufactured wholly in the EU and proof of origin can be
      provided by the shipper to satisfy customs, no import duty will be
      payable. If not, then customs import duty may be charged at the point of
      delivery 
   
   Value added tax (VAT), a sales tax, has always been applied to items from the
   EU. Before Brexit you would have paid the local VAT as part of the purchase 
   
    * If the item is valued under £135, VAT will automatically be added by the
      seller as part of the purchase and no further payment will be required.
    * If the item is valued over £135, UK VAT, which is 20%, will be charged at
      the point of delivery and is not included as part of the purchase
   
   
 * I'm expecting a parcel that is a gift from a relative who lives in the EU.
   Will I need to pay duty and tax charges?
   
   Value added tax (VAT) applies if the gift is valued over £39
   
    * If the item is valued over £39 UK VAT, which is 20%, will be charged at
      the point of delivery

 * I have received an email asking me to pay duty and taxes for a parcel which I
   am expecting from the EU. Is this from you?
   
   If your parcel is being delivered by DHL Parcel UK and duty and taxes are
   payable you will receive an email from Trans Global Freight Management Ltd.
   This is the authorised customs clearance agent for DHL Parcel UK. 
   
    * The email will come from Ecommerce.Payments@trans-global.com 
    * The subject will be Customs clearance for your parcels 
    * The email states who the sender of your parcel is and that your parcel has
      been shipped by DHL Parcel UK Ltd 
    * The email will detail the import duty, import VAT and the admin fee. The
      admin fee is charged to cover the costs incurred in processing the parcel
      through customs
    * There will be a secure payment link provided for you to make payment
    * The parcel can only be held for 14 days
    * Payment in full is required before the parcel can be released for delivery

 * Who can I contact if I have not received my shipment?
   
   Firstly, please contact our Customer Service team. If our team have not been
   able to resolve this for you, please contact the sender of your parcel.
