   I ordered an item from Phoenix Az late last month and got a couple of   
   'it has been shipped' notifications from DHL but it looks like it's just   
   we have something to collect for you. 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.
