I like DHL very much. UPS can not find their a$$ with both hands.

I just changed my shipping prefrence to DHL last week. Mutch better service than the others to California.

Last shippment was shipped DHL on Friday the 16th and I received it early on Tuesday the 20th. Not counting the shipping day or the weekend days , that's only 2 days from Cbid to California. And if you count the shipping day it's only 3.

The shippment prior to me changing my prefrences was sent USPS, But when you have it shipped via USPS Priority (Should be 3 to 4 days tops). For some reason Cbid is having UPS send the packages to the USPS then on to the consumer. That adds 3 to 4 days to the shipping time making the USPS Priority a moot point.Cause it takes 7 to 9 days to receive your stash.

I'll take DHL please........

whatever. maybe it's just the division here. but dhl screwed up 2 shipments here. one is bad enough. two was reason enough for me to switch to ups. do what pleases you. thats what i did, and have been happy with ups.

I gotta tell you guys that USPS Priority Mail delivers my cigars here in Seattle on Mondays. That from a Thursday ship from PA. Hard to beat!

nine999.................. You are correct , It is what works best for you. I have had problems with DHL in the past. UPS is too slow as is USPS (via UPS). Which leaves me with the choice of DHL.

If I were shipping something myself I would probably not use DHL, Specially if it were fragile. They don't seem to do well with that kind of material. But cigars aren't very fragile and even if they are roughed up a bit in transit you usually don't notice it.

Maybe in the future I will change to a different carrier , but for now DHL gets them here faster.

i keep reading about how everyone loves dhl because they get thei boxes on monday. i live in kalifornia, and every monday there is a little surprise waiting for me at my doorstep. same service as you get from dhl. not trying to sway anyone in one direction or another, and i dont have stock in either, don't get any freebies or kickbacks, not even a free hat!

dhl just kept sending my boxes to altern st instead of e. altern st. my boxes came a week late, and you ALL know what it feels like to wait, knowing they were dilivered to the wrong house, let alone the regular wait...

besides, ups brown is a better color than dhl yellow. and when i was in high school i always wanted a ups truck...

Hey, if your governor can't pronounce the state's name, don't you think it's a bit much asking DHL to do better? I mean, you hope that the guy running the world's 8th largest economy at least has a little more schooling than the guy driving the big yellow van. At least you hope....

USPS would be great if C-Bid didn't get UPS involved. And I have to wonder why they do. It adds at least three days.

I can't believe that the USPS wouldn't be willing to back a truck up at C-Bid, rather than having a middle-man.
