Don't think that DHL is any better--------

[James Morehead]

I shipped a vintage '66 Fender Deluxe Reverb to the East Coast and DHL was the shipper. The tracking number was no good. Enter it in the computer, but it showed as not valid. So I had the packaging service check it, and it was correct. THEY couldn't get it to work, either. (My customer is freaked out by now, as he paid for the amp first, then I ship. Of course, now he's convinced he's been ripped off.) So my packager has to finally get a supervisor with DHL to help, and all they could tell us was "the amp was in transit". little comfort for my customer. Long story short, somehow the tracking # could not "activated", because they were so jammed with X-mas deliveries. So the amp finally arrives 5 days late. At least it arrived in one piece. So point is, it ain't just Fed-x and UPS, they are all about the same. So if you have to ship something, pick your poison.

Yea, it must be the season. I had my first two FedEx mess ups happen last week. I've been hearing good things about DHL lately. I may give them a try.

Is any one of these regarded as better for international shipping?
