Re: [gecko]DHL restrictions?
Ive been using UPS for the past 2 years repeatedly.Cost has risen,but service has been excellent.They will register youas a live shipper of geckos,which is great.I know there isnt the guarantee for loss we would all like,but that is part of the risk.Marcus.
Re: [gecko]DHL restrictions?
A hearty agreement. UPS is light years ahead. I dealt with DHL when they were Airborne and they were very problematic, not just with the geckos but every aspect of business like billing, customer service, etc. In my forced occasional dealings with them lately I find they are much the same, bottom of the barrel!

Re: [gecko]DHL restrictions?
Thanks Jodi, Marcus, and Julie for the info! I too have been using UPS for a few years and they have performed well, but I just like to look at my options now and then. I found it difficult to find info on DHL's website, so wasn't impressed there either. Melody Julie Bergman wrote: A hearty agreement. UPS is light years ahead.

Re: [gecko]DHL restrictions?
The first shippment that I sent with UPS was just awful. They sent it the wrong direction, then sent it back to town where it sat around awhile, before somebody got around to seeing where that big box marked Nextday might be going to. Thank god I took extra care and packed everybody very well but it took days to deliver it a couple of hundered miles and cost a fortune. My money is still spent with USPS where I have had the best luck for the best price.

[gecko]Re: gecko digest, Vol 1 #1128 - 8 msgs
I can't say enough bad stuff about DHL, but I've had trouble with all of them over the years. For instance. I ordered some snake tongs before my trip to Sulawesi last fall at the last possible moment. They were garunteed the day I left before noon. That was fine, because my flight out of Austin wasn't till 6pm. When 3 o'clock rolled by and there was no sign I started getting nervous. I called them up to see what the deal would be, and was promised a call back with an answer in 15min. 45min later no call. Naturally, I became aggravated. When I called back and explained the situation - that I was leaving for Indonesia to collect, among other things, venomous snakes, and was in dire need of my tongs which should have been delivered hours prior - they told me there was nothing they could do because my package was in a local facility. When I asked for the facility's number the woman's answer was it has no phone number. Yeah right. It was around that point that I lost it. I explained to the supervising manager they had several options. They could give me the phone number so I could make last minute arrangements; they could foward the tongs to an address in Jakarta; they could arrange for the package to be delivered to the airport in Austin; or they could arrange for my dead body to be shipped to my grieving parents in the event I recieved a fatal strike because I didn't have tongs to safely capture a snake. They chose to meet me at the airport.
