oh god dammit

 me: amazon said something is shipping with DHLSM
 me: do you know what that is?
 me: is that regular dhl?
 paul: no idea
 paul: dhl smartmail is a joint venture between dhl and the USPS
 me: oh good, this'll be a disaster
 me: remember when i ordered you that thing for christmas
 me: and dhl just decided not to deliver it?
 me: good times
 paul: yeah, basically DHL will get it to your local post office
 paul: then your postal carrier who normally takes your mail to your mailbox will be the one to lose it
 me: hahaha
 me: well why bother giving me a tracking number then?
 me: who would i give it to?
 paul: the tracking number will track it to the post office
 paul: where you will then lose the ability to blame anyone specific for what happens next
 me: dhlsm:  the perfect storm

Posters. But they were neat posters, so I do hope they come.

Did IT block your gChat again? I had a very important matter involving a Michael Kors trench I need to consult you about. Will email you later!

Did someone speak my name? :-P

I will second any motion that begins with DHL sucks. See here for the stories.

I hope you get your packages.

you're screwed. something shipped to me via FedUSPS - or whatever they called that hybrid. What would have taken 2 days, max, by FedEx OR USPS took over 2 weeks by the combo service - and even then I had to go pick it up. Extra annoying was the fact that it had tracking svc so I could see it sitting in LosAngeles (1 hr from me) for 3 days, then ship cross country, then come back, then sit some more. UGH! Hope the DHL version is better!

I've learned that transport by yak is faster than FedEX Ground. I just ordered something from Amazon, and it came via DHL/USPS. No problem. When I got laid off, the evil empire sent my 401(k) check via DHL, and they left it on my doorstep. Yikes.

yikes. good luck getting your shit!
