[QUOTE="Herodotus, post: 7599819, member: 111387"]Yes, in a fit of frustration; a mistake on my part. 'Priority' not 'Express'. DHL Deutsche Post can take a short walk off of a tall cliff as far as I'm concerned. The Germans may be revered for their feats of engineering, but their postal system is absolute garbage. It took almost 3 weeks from being mailed in Germany to find its way to the U.S. I read somewhere recently that Germany is now going to be sending mail abroad via ocean-freight. The ghost of Kaiser Wilhem lives! I have ordered a multitude of parcels from all over Europe over the last several months (including during the peak of the C-19 crisis). Some have been sent Fed-Ex, and others using the national post. The only country that I've had repeated problems with is Germany; including the additional prolonged time that it has taken for German parcels to clear U.S. customs. Every other country; whether it be the U.K.(Royal Mail), Switzerland(Swiss Post), BPost(Belgian Post), Austrian Post etc. etc. etc. have all taken only a few weeks(or less) to find their way to my doorstep. Apologies for venting in your thread OP. This seemed like a good enough place as any. While it may test one's patience while in 'transit limbo', it deserves reiteration that your parcel will likely eventually arrive.[/QUOTE]
