Interesting... All the reviews for DHL were one star--presumably because one could not register a lower vote. Stories about horrendous waits, repeated lies about an item's being on a truck for delivery, lost delivery details, lies about an item's being delivered, lost items. I'm surprised that they have any business at all, but options for shipping here may be limited for European senders.
