Hello..

Please, could you confirm if number 1988659805 is a DHL tracking code ??

I am also a customer service rep for DHL. I wish some of my exchanges with customers were as entertaining. Next time you need to track a package and speak to a rep, you should call the 800 number and speak to a real person. These Live Chat tards are notorious for not knowing their jobs. If you had spoken to me I would have told you the truth on the first call and followed up on the problem.
Hope next time works out for you.

You have too much time on your hands. Nonetheless, funny :)

Update:

I did receive my laptop.

I did not receive a hug.

I am sad.

Rob, man, you're killing me :)

"Hello. I am DHL. How can I help you?"

Hi Stacie.

"Tell me more about, Stacie"

What time should I anticipate the delivery?

"How does anticipate the delivery, make you feel?"

Yesterday a representative indicated I would receive notification on reparations for this incident in 12 hours.

"Tell me more about, a representative."

No such notification was received.

"Please, go on."

My number is (415)203-8618.

"Can you elaborate on that?"

Is there any indication of when I will be receiving my hug?

"Why do you want a hug?"

This has been very disheartening..

"You are being a bit negative."

I am so informed.

"How long have you been so informed?"

"Hello. I am DHL. How can I help you?"

I can't wait to hear if you get the hug! Get a camera, get a picture of the designated hugger!
