That's a perfect claim for an "unpopular opinions" thread!DPD is great in the UK in my experience.

I'm waiting for a package from Japan, via DHL that was supposed to arrive yesterday afternoon. Three nagura stones, two of them from Sakamoto-san (a chunk of Koma and some Mejiro), and one Shiro nagura of unknown origin with an odd, faded, circular stamp. I have no idea if it's tenjyou, mejiro, or koma, but it looks pretty interesting. Last but not least, an old barber's stone, a bright yellow Kiita that looks like it came from the Kato mine, but I'm probably just being delusional.
Anyway, we had a little bit of snow it Baltimore on Thursday night. That apparently put a monkey wrench in my package arriving on time. To top it off, DHL's tracking system isn't the greatest. I often get updates four hours after an event has taken place. The last update is from Friday at 9:53 in the morning. The package is on hold because of the weather. It was supposed to go out with the next cycle of couriers, but I guess there was never a "next" cycle".
It's an expensive package that I've been waiting two weeks for, it's really frustrating, as I have some work to do and I really wanted to add the koma to my razor honing progression, and also check out the kiita stone.
Stop buying small knives.I've had two packages "lost" by USPS because they slid under the drivers seat while out for delivery.
The fact that UPS wants you to create an account so you can see all step of the tracking is effing BS. Every other courier lets you see the full tracking without an account.
USPS has never wowed me (international shipping US>EU) but they seem to have topped themselves....
shipped on Dec 27 it took three days to reach Chicago, so far so good...since it did not move acc to 17track,net
Did they change from using dirty old planes into much greener pigeons?

A friend of mine kept coming home to furniture sitting in front of her door because the Amazon drivers kept delivering to the wrong address. I think she got two bedframes and a nightstand or something and Amazon just wouldn't take them backA UPS guy showed up at my door last week with 5 big packages on a dolly. Good thing he waited for me to come out as I wasn’t expecting anything and when I looked closer, turned out he was at the wrong address. Not even the same street - totally and completely different address.
I wonder how often that happens and the person happily takes delivery of someone else’s packages?
My only recurring issue with USPS is that they quote you a delivery day, and then in the days leading up to it including that day they’ll move the day. Very irritating for them to be optimistic, and you build a schedule around a delivery day only for them to change it when reality hits.

Seems more like each facility wasn't sure what to do with it (contents flagged) so they sent it elsewhere for a different group to figure it out.USPS on the move with a knife destined to the EU, 36 days and counting...I seriously thing they reverted to using a stagecoach;
