A Word About Shipping...

Amber Lamps · 01-06-2010, 02:01 AM

I don't know how they do it but DHL managed to get a package for me from fucking Pakistan in 2-3 God Damn days (including customs) when it took USPS 7 days to get me a package from fucking Utah!!!! Not to mention the fact that Chinese Post got me a package to the States in two days, where they stupidly handed it off to USPS that took 4 days to deliver it.

The shit hit their facility in Lahore Sunday night/Mon morning (Jan 4) and will be delivered tomorrow!!! That's fucking insane! WITH almost hourly tracking information, I might add!

Yea it's pretty weird... I don't know if they are "better" but it sure seems that way from my perspective. Plus they will text you once your package is out for delivery, so you know to get your ass home!

Hmmmm... well, I wish that they (UPS) would adopt some of DHL's practices.

Why the fuck are you getting packages from Pakistan and China? I'm calling the FBI.

Sort of, theyre a puppet of ups. Karens dad did security for them for a while and I was a ups guy before we got into PA school (kinda like the whole steelers/raiders love hate thing we have

)

For international stuff DHL was much better but their domestic ground services were horrible so they "merged" a few years ago.
