Oh no, not again

Oh Lord. I ordered something. On September 6th. A long fleece robe from Catherine's. It shipped using DHL. (Insert blood-curdling scream here.)

Here's the thing. DHL is pathetic. I had a long career in Logistics before my brain broke, and therefore I can state with certain authority: never ship with DHL. 

 

How did they even do that, I thought DHL finally stopped trying to do domestic shipments? What the heck, they're back?

 

Over the years, at work I mean, I have lost so many hours on the phone with DHL trying to get packages un-stuck from processing centers, you don't even want to know. I had to tell one of our locations to stop using them, it was just ridiculous. One time, an important shipment was stuck for like a week, and the guy at DHL told me, in all seriousness, that they can't do anything about it because the driver's wife just had a baby. Excuse me? You just have...the one driver? So you're just...not doing the shipments anymore? Have you considered the implications of that? 

 

I could never imagine such a thing with Fed Ex or UPS. Even the US post office is faster and more reliable.

 

My delivery isn't urgent or anything, so I'll just wait. They can take their stupid sweet time. I just thought I was forever done with freakin' DHL Oh no, not again.

 

I placed the order on September 6th, coming from Indianapolis. It was expected to arrive last Thursday September 18th. As of the 17th, it was in Kentucky. 

 

It's the 24th. It's still in Kentucky. I'll just be here waiting for DHL.

 

I'm going to die and go to hell and it'll just be me on hold with DHL for eternity trying to get a package un-stuck.
