..Sort of makes you wonder why DHL even has tracking then if you basically can't utilize itSorry for the delayed reply - super busy at work. Nope - the tracking was hopeless, but the delivery was fast!

Sounds to me like DHL needs to hire a REAL TRACKER..Sort of makes you wonder why DHL even has tracking then if you basically can't utilize it.....
Then there is FedEx with tracking info that said, "Delivered, front porch." And then the package actually arrived two days later via USPS.DHL is a complete piece of shit. That's my opinion...now. There are no excuses, there just aren't. Other shipping outlets have issues, but none as imcompetent as DHL.
WowThen there is FedEx with tracking info that said, "Delivered, front porch." And then the package actually arrived two days later via USPS.
Mine was the same but it has turned up today with no additional chargesSnap! according to Royal Mail mine is still on route from Japan, so still airborne after a week![]()
Still nothing arrived in deepest Devon,Mine was the same but it has turned up today with no additional chargesbut tracking states it’s at Langley HWDC
What the FedEx tracking should have said was that the package was delivered to USPS, not dropped off on front porch. Then I would have at least known what was going on. I guess the driver hit the wrong button on his 'tricorder' when he delivered it to USPS.Wow..... That is bad! ..& I had liked FedEx when I shipped a lot of stuff but don't know much about 'being on the other end'. Liked it mostly from a cost stand point.
I know there is a lot of this 'handing off' of packages now days between various carriers.
Say what you will about USPS but they usually get it right. Though their so called 'Tracking' info is often little more than a joke unless you go with something like registered mail... That has a great chain of custody with it.
As far as International... Who knows, sorta anything goes. It's like Thunder-dome out there
It burns me when I go to check a tracking # & it says 'In Transit'..... That's not a location
IMO, Amazon is the best at shipping, etc. right now. It seems they can utilize most available carriers plus their own dedicated network & usually get it right or fix it ASAP.
In transitHas your tracking information updated at all or is it still showing as in transit?
I guess the driver hit the wrong button on his 'tricorder' when he delivered it to USPS.
So have you received it yet?I'm in a meeting at work, just received a text from DHL that Santana has landed!
Maybe they delivered it to the front porch of the local USPS office.Then there is FedEx with tracking info that said, "Delivered, front porch." And then the package actually arrived two days later via USPS.

Plus FedEx also needs a new delivery status designation: "Dumped in local woods."Maybe they delivered it to the front porch of the local USPS office.
I would blame it on Covid and the shortages due to kinks in the supply chain WORLDWIDE. Soundboy posted that 2021 saw a decline in the production of SACDs, in general and if this pandemic didn't exist, I'm certain we would've seen Caravanserai and perhaps others by now.What I find curious - why isn't this SACD available from any other Vendor yet ?
(as I wait for the copy I pre-ordered in October to ship)
OK- I couldn't really play it this weekend- as my 4 y old grandson stayed with me for the weekend. But playing it now for the first time...the mix is unreal! This is head and shoulders above the quality of Abraxas mix...bring on Caravanserai, Welcome and Borboletta!!!!Santana is IN THE HOUSE!!!
High praise! Someone recently wrote that some of the classic Santana Quads might be upmixed. This probably isn't one of those?!OK- I couldn't really play it this weekend- as my 4 y old grandson stayed with me for the weekend. But playing it now for the first time...the mix is unreal!
