    I can’t believe that DHL is popular in most places, because in the U.S. you would be better off handing your package to a random crackhead on the street.

      Here in Germany it’s more or less the best service. UPS is costly and unless you need highly insured parcels is annoying because they don’t even deliver on Saturdays.

      Meanwhile Hermes is alright but they kick parcels around really badly, even more so than usual. DPD is similar but even worse, but hey, cheap in return so if you got something that’s resistant they’re an okay choice.

      Some years ago, someone half the globe away announced to me he’d sent me a package that day, via DHL. It arrived at my address less than a week later. I’ve recently had packages delivered from across the country that arrived within days.
