[QUOTE="Kaleun96, post: 8267894, member: 92635"]It's worth mentioning that DHL and FedEx perform quite differently across the world so while DHL might be below average for one person, for someone in a different country receiving a coin from the same auction house via DHL, the service may be excellent. For me FedEx is the best by far, above UPS and DHL, as FedEx delivers to door and will call you in advance, while UPS and DHL are just OK as they only deliver to collection points but are still faster than regular post. I have no real complaints with regular post though, it's just slower. In an ideal world, auction houses would offer every method and company of choice when it comes to shipping but that's unlikely to be practical so I can understand why an auction house would choose the method that gives them the least amount of hassle and best results.[/QUOTE]
