anyone ship via DHL?[views:2187][posts:19]_________________________________ [Apr 4,2006 9:16am - niccolai ""] I just had 25 tee shirts shipped here with DHL. I'm wondering how people feel about DHL, being a new company. In my specific area, the fedex guy is an idiot and is the kindof guy who leaves boxes with stickers that say 'this side up' facing down. The fedex truck comes around 7 pm in my area while DHL and UPS are in the area by 2. So pretty much up until now I've prefered UPS for everything. The only problem I'm having with DHL right now is their tracking service... they don't keep it updated as frequently as UPS does. It's about 11 hours behind. |

| _________________________________ [Apr 4,2006 9:28am - niccolai ""] haha brilliant. So I probably shouldn't switch my main shipping methods to DHL? Whenever I buy a drumset offline or something, I need to stay home the hole day because you can pretty much expect 4-6 seperate deliveries. |

| _________________________________ [Apr 4,2006 9:33am - succubus ""] I've used DHL for quite a few years...they've been around longer than i've been alive. I usually wind up doing DHL for international stuff, i have never has issues |
| _____________________________________ [Apr 4,2006 9:35am - the_reverend ""] um.. you say that like you buy them often? |
| _________________________________ [Apr 4,2006 9:36am - succubus ""] not sure if yer talking to me...i've used it for work stuff and i never have a choice...when i get stuff from overseas i get it from dhl, if it's within north america then UPS, FedEx or USPS... |
| _________________________________ [Apr 4,2006 9:39am - niccolai ""] any other horror stories to keep me in anxiety while I wait for them to deliver my package today? |
| _____________________________________ [Apr 4,2006 9:55am - the_reverend ""] carina: have you ever bought a drumset? I was talking to niccolai. he talks like he's made of drumsets which I find had to believe. I mean, there is nothing on him as thick as a snare. |
| __________________________________ [Apr 4,2006 10:09am - niccolai ""] Don't mock my bodily construction methods. I've had 4 drumsets shipped to my house in the past 2 years I think. only 2 were mine. I ordered a pearl and didn't like it so I sold it on craigs list and bought a PDP. the other two I just ordered for my drummer and a friend because they don't have debit cards to order with. It has been argued that my torso could, infact, house a snare. |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 4,2006 10:11am - the_reverend ""] I'm no drummer, but I think you are confusing a snare and a cowbell |
| _________________________________ [Apr 4,2006 1:05pm - niccolai ""] No, I think you're just confusing me with skinny. I could probably pass as having a floor tom for a pelvis... |

| ________________________________ [Apr 4,2006 2:45pm - pisscup ""] I used to work in the recieving dept at a warehouse a few years ago. DHL was delivered by a dude in his own car that he drove from New York every day. He was the only black person I would see for weeks on end... |
| ___________________________________ [Apr 4,2006 3:52pm - anonymous ""] DHL, UPS, FedEx, horrible. USPS is the way to go and they are faster! I use to work at a sun glass hut and we use to use UPS to ship stuff to oakley, ray ban, maui jim, blah blah blah and stuff use to get lost all the time and it would take like 4-5 days to get there, finally we tried USPS Priority and things were getting back to the factory in 2 days flat. DHL is no better, my friend who works at a kiosk at the mall ships by them and he says he has issues with delivery time (taking too long). |
| ___________________________________ [Apr 4,2006 3:54pm - anonymous ""] USPS is only good for medium sized packages though... anything huge has to go through UPS and stuff. But after seeing how they treat packages at a USP hub, man no way |
| _____________________________________ [Apr 4,2006 6:01pm - the_reverend ""] HILARIOUS! DHL just called me. I had to go pick up a package cause the driver couldn't find my place. I can understand that though, I mean, they've only dropped off a few dozen packages here this year and the place is on the most main st in the town. makes perfect sense, not. it was a memory stick and a card reader. |
| _________________________________ [Apr 5,2006 2:50pm - niccolai ""] Just pulled my package from outside (it's snowing here). It was delivered to the front door... the one with the huge sign that sais 'this door doesn't open, deliver to side door' tee shirts are here though. |
