DHL customer service

Last week my Verizon Broadband card started to act up after the TSA abused my computer bag. So I did the normal call in and get a replacement under the paid warranty I had with Verizon. Not only was the process easy, but the overall ability of the service agent was far beyond anything I had ever seen. At the end of my call I was told that my new card would be sent overnight via DHL.

The manager of my apartment building has had nothing but nightmares with this company, loosing packages, saying they delivered items with false signatures. You name it, I heard about it.

So, frankly I was not to happy about it. However I had little to no choice in the matter. Just as expected the delivery rep never even tried to dial my unit from the system out front of leave any notice of delivery attempt for 3 days. Thus I decide to call in and ask about the situation and advise DHL that both FedEx and UPS commonly partake in the same tactics. However, after months of bitching, both have gotten far batter.

To my surprise, DHL actually called me back the very next day to assure me that my package would be delivered. I was frankly shocked! I have never seen such a level of service from any shipping company that I have ever dealt with. The next day, under record heat I got my replacement card.

I have to say, other than the typical crap they really followed through!

I have been in the search industry since the late 90’s, no not 10-20 years. My career started early in the search Day’s at Inktomi, where I supported large search portals. For example, MSN, AOL, iWon, Hotbot, CNet too name a few. After Inktomi I became a freelance consultant. I consulted for a few of the Top SEO’s around 2002 time frame; obviously the market has changed since then. After consulting I joined a small SEO firm called SEO Inc as the CTO. At SEO Inc. I successfully optimized some of the largest clients including IGN, Sony, VEGAS.com, Beaches and Sandals Resorts to name a few. Even though SEO Inc was a ton of fun, I still wanted the ultimate SEO challenge. I moved on as the global head of SEO for Shopping.com an eBay company. This challenge was an interesting one, how do I optimize a site with 50 million products? Every month I helped the business grow by leaps and bounds. I am now consulting for mostly enterprise e-commerce clients. Yes there is more too me than this profile shows, but you will just have to ask.
