![]() ![]() I order goods regularly from China and I am finding that DHL take a week or so just to collect packages there lately, with a delivery time totalling about two weeks to the UK. ![]() Given that DHL costs more than the post office and takes longer to deliver, I have to wonder why people still use it. So not only is the USPS faster, it also has a better website. I know this because I just shipped an ereader to Germany a few weeks back.Īnd speaking of tracking, I can use the USPS website to track shipments sent to me from Korea, China, and Europe (and probably elsewhere). A package shipped USPS Priority Mail will make it to Germany in 9 days. That would be true if not for the fact that DHL is slower than the post office. Some might choose to defend DHL and claim that a week’s delay (even unexplained) is not bad. There was no explanation for that, either. Earlier this year I bought a different ereader from that same seller, and with that shipment DHL decided to let the package sit in Germany for a week. What’s more, this is not the first time that DHL ignored a package for a week. Having multiple websites and systems which do not communicate is a design decision on par with DHL’s inability to process a shipment. I cannot track the shipment I am getting on DHL’s international website, DHL’s US website, or on any site other than DHL.de. On a related note, DHL’s tracking service sucks. I’ve been tracking the package, and according to DHL it has spent the past week just sitting in some distribution center somewhere in the US. It’s an ereader which I bought from Europe, and since I don’t want to embarrass the seller I won’t say who sold it to me.īut I will say this. I’m now waiting on a package which was shipped via DHL. China in particular can take up to 3 weeks, so naturally I have had to learn a little patience.īut then there are the services which seem to just sit there with a thumb up their ass, and that is when my patience wears thin. This is often the only way to get rare devices like the Kyobo Mirasol eReader, so I really don’t mind the often weeks long shipping delay. ![]() Is DHL the Worst Int’l Shipping Service? I Think SoĪs an inveterate gadget-lover I am used to buying stuff from overseas sellers and paying to have it shipped. ![]()
