<p>[QUOTE=&quot;nerosmyfavorite68, post: 8283423, member: 134416&quot;]The great majority of my DHL fears stem from the not being home/how to get the final delivery safely conundrum.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The simplest expedient in this situation is to ask an American dealer with whom I&#039;ve had many dealings with.&nbsp; I think the problem will be solved and DHL avoided on my end, and the European sender not inconvenienced.&nbsp; I can figure out later what arrangements can be made if I ever encounter DHL again.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t know if that&#039;s true in all cases, but in this case FedEx would be three times as expensive and would carry no insurance.&nbsp; Unless a supermodel hand-delivers the package, I really don&#039;t see how FedEx stays in business.&nbsp;&nbsp; I&#039;m sure it&#039;s okay for ordering a book, but FedEx sure isn&#039;t for me.&nbsp; I would gladly pay for intermediaries to avoid that distress. After what they put me through with my custom turntable, never again...</p><p><br /></p><p>My lifetime success to distress ratio with the Post Office is: 99/1, UPS 70/30, FedEx 5/95, DHL 0/0. </p><p><br /></p><p>Collecting must have been far less stressful in 1935.&nbsp; The post office (or foreign post) was the only game in town.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
