Oh mate, don't get me started on DHL!
I ordered a Gear4Music Double Neck back at the first of July, shipped DHL from the UK. Should have taken about a week, aye? Bloody thing took near on a month, because while I paid for end-to-end from DHL, they handed it off to the bleeding USPS, which doesn't service my address on account of I don't have a physical box at my house (security issues, I have script-by-mail, and there are teens in the neighborhood--only a fool would have a mailbox with that combination--it's not so very long ago I was a teen, I remember those days). So rather than *call* me, they sent it return to sender. That started this long kerfuffle where I was on the phone 2-3 times a day with DHL AND the USPS trying to find my bloody package and get it to me.
Ultimately, I had to drive to the DHL International Hub nearly an hour away from my house and pick it up before they shipped it back to the UK. Not a pleasant experience. And to this DAY, the USPS thinks they have the package, and it's "out for delivery," has been since July 27, at 0710 hours.
Anyroad, back *on* topic, that's good information to know about the case. Good starting place if I decide to get a Mandocaster after all, though likely, with the way things are going in my life, it'll end up hung on the wall behind my computer. The spouse is on me about getting my instruments "up and out of the way," so I need to get on that game here soon, methinks.
