SHIPPING

[madmonday]

who knew the "shipping" thread would have this much going on, hahahahahaha

[Denimpet]

I was only mentioning my experiences in Berlin with customs which are completely different from an exotic case which was emotionally mentioned here. I hope its peossible to exchange different views with accepting others as human beings. Everybody has regarding some countries his own opinions without seeing ever the whole picture. Germany is a part of the EU-single market and all regulations are the same. The German customs has as main tasks complete different duties as to look into parcels with "used" jeans. You can see under Google etc, you will find nothing about such "problems". I wish everybody a bit more patience. There are different views and experiences. If all is so terrible here, why so many people from inside and outside the EU are coming here?

DPD sucks….

[Dion]

Tell me about it: they directed my parcel to the other end of the country today. Let's see when I'm gonna receive it now…

[Giles]

People of the German persuasion…...

Just remember that you can request UPS, we currently default to DPD so you just need to add a note that you want UPS shipping instead.

We use DPD because of the enhanced tracking information, but if this doesn't work well for the majority we can revert to UPS as default - you need to let us know!

Cheers Giles,  not something you guys are responsible for … I kinda like the DPD tracking system, but that doesn't help if they hire emptyheads to drive my stuff around over here and coming up with stories to defend their doings.
Anyway, some talking to Pinocchio and his Geppetto going to happen tomorrow and Pinochio better hope I have no lighter in hand by that time, or his wooden ass might...

[Dion]

UPS has definitely my vote for being default again.

DPD sucks….

My last two DPD deliveries were trouble-free –- I pray for continuation
But I'm a realist 

UPS is no alternative, .. (enough said ..  ;))

It's less dependant of courier service than courier service employee…

[rocket]

while that's true, the company is the one that hire….

[Seul]

"Do you have a driver's license?.."
"Yes…"
"You're hired!.."

[Giles]

In our case over here.

"Do you have a pulse?"
"Yes"
"There's the van"

As was to be expected  ::) … DPD sucks!
Delivery announced for today … at home in joyful anticipation ... and fucked!
My 'new jacket' is located now in a local timber trading company! (DPD service point)
-> earliest pickup option - Monday or Tuesday

You know you can request UPS…....makes no difference to us - well actually UPS is marginally easier.....
