Default DHL experience

i've only had things shipped to me two times with DHL and both were negative experiences.

1st time - the package came the day they said it was suppose to be here..the truck guy dropped my package 5 houses down. i had to walk over to my neighbors house and ask for my package back. the house number was clearly written on the package and marked on the houses by the door. it was also a nice sunny day out so there should not have been this confusion on house numbers.

2nd time (current) - i am now waiting for another package. it said it was suppose to be here last friday....it is tuesday now i called and they said it should be here today at 12pm the latest...it's 1pm their tracking site is horrible and still reads information from the shipped date and that's it. they are saying it should be here tomorrow the latest now...we'll see

this has never happened with fedex, ups or even usps with me. i know others had problems with those companies but i've only had DHL twice and both were bad experiences. never again.

DHL

no DHL beef here.


I do get a bit nervous when my packages aren't shipped UPS or FedEx. I just can't fully trust DHL or Airborne Express yet.

dhl sucks....

my bro's passport came DHL with his Visa stamp in it.... and the fuckass left it outside in the driveway, leaning up against the house... a soft breeze would have sent it into gone forever...

when his plane tix came, again DHL the moron did the same thing.... plane tickets in a flat rate envelope, after leavign a passport. good plan idiot!

but when we get a worthless package, one that wouldnt blow away becaus it is HEAVY, they wouldnt leave it. i just happened to be home for a few minutes one day, and the guy was sitting at my backdoor, filling out a slip. im like hey idiot, we have TWO front doors, they each have doorbells, if you have a package for us, bring it around front so we actually know you're here!

I've had a few things come DHL before. They always ended up taking it to the post office and the mailman would bring it. :dunno:

We have shipped with DHL, FedEx, UPS and USPS.

UPS > FedEx > USPS > * > DHL

They would lose shit and not pay for it and they took forever.
