Hard to tell. You may have to ring them up and speak to a human.

Last time I had bother it was "we tried to deliver but you were out".

This seemed highly unlikely to me since we were *snowed* in and the
roads into and out of the village were blocked by large snowdrifts!

The main worry for yours is that someone has collected it in error.

Who knows? But it's not just DHL.

We were expected a package to be delivered by Royal Mail, and had been
tracking it. We had been in all morning when around midday I got an
email saying the package had been delivered and hour earlier. Except it
hadn't. Nobody rang the doorbell, There was nothing in the letterbox -
no package (which was small enough to go through it) and no note saying
it had been left outside, with a neighbour, or returned to the depot for
collection. A wasted half hour on the RM website suggested I contact the
sender, so I emailed them.

Early that evening our neighbours came round with the package, informing
us that their 4-year old daughter had found it on their doorstep! (I
didn't go round there to check as we are over 70 and one of them is a
doctor working in hospital, and I really didn't want t risk any
unnecessary exposure). I reported this to the sender who is apparently
taking it up with RM.

Good luck with that!

The sender sees a different tracking log, which should show 1)
Consignment created, 2) Consignment collected, 3) Then all the depots it
goes through.
Have found , as a sender that their CS phone service is helpful but
whether you can use it is a different matter !!

Got to give RM credit in our village. The regular delivery men know us all by first name. Same for Hermes. If there's a parcel for my daughter at the other end of the village and she's not in the parcel is brought to our house.
Other companies vary significantly!

The issue here is not that it hasn't turned up, but the website has
conflicting information on it.

I had a somewhat worse experience with an amazon delivery. It was, they
claimed ' left in the porch'. Now there was perfectly good porch with a
sliding door, but it wasn't in there. I claimed it had never been
delivered, and replacement items were sent.
Weeks later I found a soggy package under a hedge where the wind had
blown it..after Amazon had presumably 'thrown it in my general direction'.

If you can find one! My experience with most courier companies is you are lucky to find a number most do not want you to contact them that way and at best offering an email only service which they will only answer after 48 hours.

That did happen to me with a hand written address with the
street number not all that legible. When I monstered the
person who had delivered it on the phone, he told me which
number he had delivered it to. The bugger who owns that
house is slightly known to me and he tried to claim that
he hadn't gotten around to giving it to me. Since it was a
new double cell laptop battery, I didn’t believe him and
I bet he was hoping I would just claim it wasn’t delivered.

It's like I keep saying: even all your neighbours DETEST you, you senile
cretin! It's the ONE reason why you troll on Usenet, as people there can't
as easily get away from you as they do in real life! You simply ARE a senile

I think the usual reason is the warehouseperson is scanning a load of parcels as one status, then picks up your parcel and forgets to reset his scanner to whatever your parcel's status is.

In particular if it's coming from a parcel shop and the driver scans it as a drop-off rather than a pick-up.

Or throws it in the wrong cage and it gets temporarily de-tracked.

The message "We're sorry but we do not appear to have received your consignment from the sender" suggests that DHL has not yet received the package from the sender, and it is not in their possession yet. However, the message also states that your parcel with tracking number 417556xxxxxxx has been collected on the 27th of April 2020.

This message may indicate that there is a delay or an issue with the package being processed or transported to the DHL facility. The package is currently delayed and the delivery may be affected.

You can contact DHL customer support for more information about the status of your package and to re-arrange delivery or ask question about the shipment. You also can check the journey of your parcel, the status will be updated there.

Given that this was two years ago, they've probably given up by now.
