The new couch arrived today and ahead of the scheduled delivery window. I'm enjoying it right now, mask and seat belt on along with a crash helmet. I also took it for a test drive (nap) since they showed up at 07:45 to deliver it.

They'll go to the fine print..."not responsible for unavoidable delays" which they'll stretch to cover incompetence in this situation.

I had a package from FeDX last week that was delayed by two days. On the sorting line at the local hub they gave 100 people the same day off. The line is a total of 150 people which left 50 people to do the job. The backlog took three days to clear between sorting and high number of deliveries on each truck as a result.

But it gave some manager a feather in his cap because he met his payroll budget due to that. :(

I thought DHL would only run on the DHL network, if you're using DHL e-commerce that goes on a 50-state tour, but regular DHL service (global) relies on the DHL network only with no connection to USPS. I like collecting parcels directly from the DHL sorting facility, very convenient :D

Wondering what the package is doing in Japan for over three days straight, no movement, customs is probably thinking why would anyone buy a we
No! DHL will hand it off to USPS for a fifty state grand tour before you get your package.

I live in South Jersey and USPS will always lose the package at the Swedesboro hub after making a tri state tour.
