DHL Refund Types

Every refundable DHL charge category we audit and recover.

Late Delivery Claims

DHL's Money-Back Guarantee covers Express Time Definite services (9:00, 10:30, 12:00). Late international express shipments qualify for a full shipping credit.

Fuel Surcharge Errors

DHL's fuel surcharge fluctuates monthly. We verify that each shipment was billed at the correct fuel surcharge rate for its shipping date.

📍
Remote Area Surcharges

DHL charges extra for remote area deliveries - but frequently misclassifies addresses. We check every remote area surcharge against DHL's actual remote area list.

📏
Volumetric Weight Disputes

DHL uses a volumetric factor of 5000 for international shipments. Miscalculated dimensions inflate your costs - we verify every volumetric weight charge.

📄
Customs Brokerage Fees

Incorrect customs brokerage fees, duties, and tax calculations are common on international shipments. We audit every customs-related charge on your invoices.

📈
Duplicate Charges

International shipments with multiple legs are prone to duplicate billing. We scan every invoice for duplicates and recover the overcharges.
