I've wondered if it's a "in the south" thing, because we didn't have problems like this in California. My parents do delivery confirmation and we'll know that a package got here over a week earlier... and they'll finally put in a tag in our box instead of leaving it after like seven days... or they won't deliver anything and we'll finally go and ask with another package and find out it's been sitting in the warehouse here. It's so bad that I instantly tend to suspect it's on this side (that and the fact that they were passed customs at a port and they should have gone through Frankfurt I guess if they were by air, like I'd paid for!). <br /><br />I'll have to check out DHL too! It's amazing that's so difficult to find shipping these days that's reliable!Cammie Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07137080807945525006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188078120365131355.post-84288965794537521912012-04-19T12:13:52.990-04:002012-04-19T12:13:52.990-04:00It's possible that it isn't always the USP...It's possible that it isn't always the USPS system that is messing with your packages. If you are shipping overseas, your items will have to deal with customs. That can be sticky and things get "lost" rather frequently in that transition.melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08677295427283294982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188078120365131355.post-68263485164499652962012-04-19T09:37:12.980-04:002012-04-19T09:37:12.980-04:00Don't forget about DHL.

I haven't compared their prices, so I don't know if it will work for you, but they seem to be able to cross the pond in a timely manner.Baron Korfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07215856728880521796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188078120365131355.post-14515766807588271212012-04-19T08:48:16.070-04:002012-04-19T08:48:16.070-04:00Oh I feel your pain.

That is normal first class mail that should take about 7 days. I have had 'priority post' packages take four weeks. Packages that my mum sent to my PO Box went missing (got rid of the PO Box very quickly as they were even returning magazines to sender!) and now my parents pay all that extra money for tracking etc just for piece of mind. It is a scam of the highest order. :(<br /><br />A package I just sent them for Easter got there on April 16 :(<br /><br />So sorry to hear of your problems with them - especially when running a business. It really is unacceptable. :(Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
