Thanks. I see what you mean. The UK ones look more like fat 'S's.

This was the closest we could come (within our budget) to the sword arriving to you held in an arm clothed in white samite, lit from above and with a choir of angels singing (my personal and sadly yet unachieved goal.) Best, Howy |

Hey Nate! Actually, we did try DHL for about 6 months or so last year -- they were great. Then they were bought by another company and the fun began immediately. Guess some corporate bean counter there decided that using independent couriers to pick up and deliver was more cost effective. Suddenly some guy with a white van started showing up to pick up packages, not a DHL truck, Then we had some neighborhood kids show up with a package that had fallen off the back of the van apparently... the list goes on... lost and damaged packages... other oddities... so we went back to using UPs... at least Brown is always Brown... Best, Howy |

Albion Corrigated boxes.....the next generation :D The one thing that happened to me more often than anything else is the guard would somehow punch through the side of the box. This happened with a few Del Tins but never with my next gen's ....thank God :) |

Same thing with DHL around here, quality in shipping dropped dramatically.
Ever consider using the post office? They have started a service where they'll pick up packages from your location, something they never did before. Not only are they cheaper than UPS, (to the average person, I don't know if UPS has business deals) they're also faster. 2-3 days compared to 7 days ground with UPS. I had to ship a large sword to England once. UPS wanted $115, USPS wanted $75 and it would get there a week earlier. But then again, I am guessing you probably tried them for a period too and then stopped. |
