Some DHL customers share their displeasure on Twitter.
Your shipments were canceled shortly before delivery.
The reason leaves a user puzzled.
Bonn - If you are expecting a package, you are welcome to check the shipment tracking at DHL.
A nice thing to know when to expect the package.
In a day, in two or only in a week?
However, the joy only lasts until you read the following message: "The shipment does not meet our shipping conditions.
Return to sender.”
This is particularly annoying when the message pops up on the day it was actually received.
Some customers shared their frustration on Twitter.
What is the DHL message?
DHL delivery aborted shortly before delivery: customers are outraged and surprised
“Had this notification in the DHL app today.
Something new more often," a Twitter user commented on the unwelcome message.
Others react much less calmly.
"This should have arrived today and is now being returned to sender.
Thank you DHL Paket – I asked what that was supposed to do,” writes a person affected.
That's probably what many people are asking when they receive this message.
So when will the notification follow?
"If a shipment does not meet the shipping conditions, non-compliance with specifications such as packaging, size, weight, franking, prohibited ingredients or addressing can be the reason for a return," explains DHL on Twitter under a post.
The return could then not be stopped.
Reasons for a return:
Wrong packaging
Wrong size
Different weight
Wrong franking
Prohibited Content
Problems capturing or transmitting the address
Graphics card, instant noodles and playing cards: With this content, a user is rightly surprised as to what does not correspond to the shipping conditions.
“The shipment was neither too heavy nor damaged.
There is no apparent reason that this package is repeatedly undelivered!” he complains after the second attempt.
DHL promises further clarification by email in this specific case.

Delivery aborted: DHL explains why the return was made at such short notice
The day of delivery, but suddenly the return message appears.
"That's noticeable early on," criticizes a DHL customer.
There is a plausible, if perhaps unsatisfactory, answer for this as well.
“Since we cannot check for correctness in the respective parcel centers, but only within the so-called 'last mile', we can only react in the destination area (i.e. at the time of delivery).
We ask for your understanding,” is DHL's statement.
So it's always exciting to see which message appears in the shipment tracking.
Now and then, a message from a parcel carrier can also cause a laugh.
Just like the garden gnome case.
Or the completely honest message from a DHL messenger about a spider.
