Please call 1-800-225-5345 (1-800-CALL-DHL) and tell the representative that you need to make arrangements for a package pick up at your home.

...and you get a postage paid envelope to mail your find (aka, the evidence) back to them so they can "investigate." Oh, you also get two coupons for a free Kelloggs item at a value up to $5.00.
Wouldn't you think finding a greasy nut and screw would warrant a little more than a form letter apologizing for an "unsatisfactory" product? I would think that steel machinery parts in your cookie bag would surprise them at least a little bit. Makes ya wonder how often this happens, doesn't it?

REDICULOUS! Definitely worth more than a stinking form letter. What if your child had been eating those and unknowingly stuck it in his or her mouth? Would you still get a form letter?
LAME! Coupons my fanny...more like Company Jet and a week in the VIP Timeshare, anyone?!?!

I was thinking the same thing. It must happen often that they have this procedure in place. Lesson learned...make sure you do not just pop them in your mouth. Might lose a tooth!
Keep smilin!
Uh, I hope they don't get many "Hey, I found a fingertip in my cookies" notes. That would be a bit more than unsatisfactory but it sounds like the reply may be similar.
Pretty dry response you got there.
Good grief!!
That is a total chain letter they use for EVERY complaint!!
You're right! A screw and nut deserves more than that!! A home phone call even!!
Sheesh!! Scary stuff forsure!!
Personally, I think their "sorry" letters are tiered. The more pissed a customer gets the more apologetic they get. It also depends what your request for reimbursement in the letter was. It works this way at a lot of places.
Personally, I do agree with you. It was not like a bad product but yet something that could have really hurt you or a child could have swallowed or choked on. Scary.
I don't think that is an acceptible response at all. They are asking you to go out of your way to return their product and only give you a few coupons?
Yikes! I wonder what you would get if you swallowed it?
That reply really stinks ! ONLY a form letter with the coupon?? That is bad.
Interesting......I think you should have gotten free snacks for a year. (Without the screws in them.)
