Disagree. DHL is terrible. Always late. Can't track packages. Says tracking number can't be found. I a seller doesn't use Fed Ex, I don't order. USPS isn't much better. They are regularly 2-3 days beyond their delivery dates.

I've been using DHL since 1980....never had any issues with them at all. Haven't had any bad luck with UPS....and very rarely have an issue with USPS. I have had packages delivered from Japan in as little as 3 days with USPS.....so I really have no complaints with any of them except if I have to file an insurance claim with USPS....which is rare.......depending on what day....week, or month it is, that can be an issue for me....LOL.

Well, I have to eat my own words. Don't taste worth a dang, either. Had a package leave Chicago on 7/16 via Fed Ex. Tried tracking it and they tell me to expect delivery on 7/26. So much for fast, reliable service.

Don’t you just hate that? LOL In these times I guess we can expect some problems time to time, but overall FedEx and UPS are pretty darn reliable.

Yeah, they don't go down very well. Next time I decide to spout off I'll keep my salt shaker handy to season them when they come back to bite me.

Back on original topic, I ordered some lure parts on Sun. 7/12. Went from PA to DE on Mon. 7/13. As of today package is still at USPS in DE. Sitting in the post office in Delaware for 6 days! If the USPS wants to stay in business they need to stay on the ball. UPS and FedX are more reliable for package deliveries lately. I ordered a small item from CA on ebay and it took 28 days to get delivered. Not sure what the issue there was as there was no tracking number given. Almost a month to deliver an item small enough to fit in an envelope!

Wanted to give a quick shout-out to USPS here: package delivered to Japan in less than one week. Hit and miss, I guess...
