Not only that, but a DHL truck cut me off on the freeway last week and my girlfriend says their drivers don't look as good in shorts as UPS. Definitely a pattern here.

The manufacturer said to use FedEx, UPS or DHL. FedEx isn't very close, and I don't like UPS (that's another story), so I went to DHL. They would only let me send it by air, for a very high cost. They told me I had to have an account to send it by ground. Huh? That makes no sense. I asked if I could open an account - they said no! Only businesses can open accounts, and they have to be doing regular business with DHL *before* they can open the account. Then he suggested I would be better off shipping it with someone else. I asked him if it was company policy to make life difficult for customers, then send them to the competition. He just shrugged. Needless to say, I took my business elsewhere, and will do so in the future. _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
