quite simply - DHL sucks. I have only had 6-7 animals shipped via DHL, but there were (delivery) issues with 4 of them. THe last 3 were specifically marked to be held for my pickup (on the box, the label, and the airbill) - none were. I can see missing that occasionally, and delivering to the door, but delivering to a door on the wrong street and in the wrong town??? NO MORE. I no longer will allow any animal to be shipped to me via DHL (and I am darned sure not gonna use them). I happily pay the difference for FedEx or UPS, and if the seller insists on DHL...he looks for another buyer.
