Death to DHL!
I still mourn the demise of Airbourne Express, it is particularly painful with the rise of DHL to prominence. I ordered a few roses the other day, the company didn’t make any overt indication as to how it would be shipped other than the options to choose standard or express. Well, I’m certainly not in a hurry so why should I pay extra? Apparently their Standard delivery is DHL, I about cried, okay… not really, but I was rather ticked. It’s bad enough that they’re involved at all, slow as all hell, as they say. I come to find in even more horror that once the package arrived in Harrisburg, to the sort facility, it was handed off or rather “tendered” to the USPS! DHL is now too lazy to even deliver their own packages?! While I don’t have a problem with USPS in general, our particular mail carrier is a moron, we are forever receiving mail meant for other addresses on the street, and I’m sure those other people are getting ours. I would rather get the mail later in the day than have my mail scattered around the neighborhood before I ever receive it.
With that oh so convenient hand off to USPS my package now is untrackable, so it would seem, I might get it today, maybe even tomorrow, but it could sit in some mail warehouse until Monday… there’s just no way to tell. What’s the point? Why not just send it USPS in the first place if they’re delivering it anyway? It’s not like DHL refuses to deliver to such a “rural” area, haha, they’re the people you are forced to use when there aren’t any other options!
