SHIPPING

[Giles]

Thinking of moving from UPS to DHL.  @Danny RnH did recently and says that it is a million times better.

Any views?

I have had 3 orders come from Danny recently using DHL and they have all arrived when they should of, so can give good reviews. I still like DPD's system of where you get a actually time slot. DHL just says by the end of the day

I have not had any bad experiences with UPS so far, can't say the same about DHL.

On the other hand we get DHL deliveries on a weekly basis and I would say 95% are without problems, if you ignore the "you where not home when we tried to deliver your parcel" thing that they all pull off from time to time.

Same with me, the time slot does it. I can plan my day then.

@Giles:

Thinking of moving from UPS to DHL…

DHL is still in driving distance, for when you need fishing gear in a hurry.

The only delivery company I had no issues with is UPS (and I tried them all) so they definitely have my vote. Are you talking about DHL or DHL Express? The latter is superb the first is meh. (They are two separate divisions).

DHL

They have more reach now, but even as of five years ago, DHL was lacking in locations and reputation in the USA. I never see their trucks around here, and I think they share an office with UPS. But, I do live in a small town.

Can't say that I'm satisfied with UPS. Wouldn't mind the switch.

I haven't had any problems with UPS in the States.

UPS works great stateside, not much experience with DHL personally.

UPS is great for me; the guy is usually here 3-4 days a week.  DHL has been some sort of issue every time I've been unable to avoid them.

[Dion]

Maybe a poll could be helpful?

[Giles]

It won't.  We're going to DHL and make a decision going forward based on empirical feedback.

[Seul]

Fuck it - let science figure it out, right!.

[Jordonf9]

UPS normally gets here 2-3 business days once shipped
DHL seems to take 1-2 business days once shipped (ordered yesterday, shipped today, be here tomorrow, that is FAST!)

[Winchy]

That would be quick! Keep us posted please.

[FurattoHeddo]

Never had a problem with UPS, nor with DHL, so either way is fine by me.. As long as it's not FEDEX

DHL shipped Tuesday, arrived on Thursday. Very good.

Not liking DHL. The estimated arrival always sound/look good, but they haven't met either of them on time.

My Wescos were said to be here yesterday, I figured that wouldn't happen and it didn't. They left NY a few minutes past 3AM this morning to go to Harrisburg, it only takes 3 hours to get to Harrisburg from NY,NY. Almost 8 hours later, no update, no delivery, nothing.

Not digging DHL that much. UPS is pretty darn accurate when it comes to estimates and delivering them on time.

Using UPS for YEARS through business connections, they do handle their shipments pretty…I mean REALLY CRAPPY, haha. But with these items it doesn't matter.

Update: DHL now updated it's en route to be delivered. Guess they send out their couriers later than I'm used to. UPS is like 7 or so in the AM and if it don't get out early, it waits till the next day.
