I was pleasantly surprised by the       one on Monday 4/8/2025 that showed it had been collected and left       Phoenix Az and got to Cincinnati Oh 5/8/2025 and then got to the UK and       through customs and at the Midlands DHL depot by late evening 5/8/2025.        Normally I would get an email from DHL with a date and delivery time       window, not this delivery, so I missed the delivery today so have       rescheduled it for tomorrow so will have to hang around till it arrives.       Normally when they say they need a signature it gets left anyway or next       door but this time they want my signature it seems and won't settle for       less. It took a bit of time to get shipped but once collected that's       about 5.5k miles in 2 days.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
