Sometimes delivery companies do surprise me ... and sometimes they don't.

Ordered some lead-in stands yesterday, and got a message from the courier early this morning that it would be delivered between 09:08 and 12:08 - what a surprise, it was delivered at 16:20. :sigh: But it doesn't surprise me given I live in a week rural location... Then at 11:00 this morning I placed an order for next day delivery and it was delivered at 20:04 ... that was a surprise as I got an order confirmation 10 minutes becks the courier knocked on the door! Ì can kinda understand that in a city, but it here? :omg: Colour me impressed with Amazon (and unimpressed with DHL)

Amazon Prime promises two-day delivery. Except when they don't. No one is impressed with DHL.
There are no solutions, only trade-offs.

- Calvin (Bill Watterson, Calvin & Hobbes)They are better than UPS (Ur Parcel Smashed) at least. I know one company who uses sacrificial packaging so they have something to crush without damaging the contents ...

Back around 2006, I was integrating DHL into the shipping system I was working on. I had a large certification process to go through with DHL. There were multiple instances where I sent a question to DHL about a certification step I couldn't pass with the details. Response was almost always, we'll update the certification steps with the correct answer. That was my first experience with DHL and I wasn't impressed.
