DHL Shipping questions.
Just curious about DHL shipping, I have never used them before, and have never seen one of their trucks in my apartment complex. Their rates are considerably lower, so I used them this time. My last order (Built MK3) I requested DHL at first then got nervous and changed to UPS. I live in Middle America (Kansas).
What kind of experiences have you all had?
On a side note: about how long does it usually take for Prusa to ship items that are in stock?
Peace, Love & Applesauce.

Shipped on a Friday delivered to rural Maine late on Monday morning. also in a area where DHL is never seen the tracker said the package was given to a dispatch courier at 5AM at Logan airport the person who handed it to me at 11:45 am they were in their own car and said they were contract couriers who delivered for everyone
so not to worry if no DHL in your area they will get it to you.

Re: DHL Shipping questions.
I was not happy with DHL shipping. It took a week from the time the parts were shipped from Prusa. I ordered on August 29th, Prusa shows shipped the same day, but DHL shows picked on the 30th. And I received them on September 6th.
The biggest problem was DHL tracking just showed "Forwarded for delivery" for 2 days. Never got an answer from emailing their support. Called DHL and they gave me a USPS tracking number for an overnight package. So, it went to Phoenix and then by mail to me.
My previous UPS wasn't much better since it stayed in Prague for 5 days. But the original shipment for the printer was fine.

MK3 kit shipped today and scheduled for delivery to Oklahoma City on Thursday. No bad.
Re: DHL Shipping questions.
I had a great experience with them. Shipped to east coast fl in 3 days. The guy that delivered it was in a small van.
Re: DHL Shipping questions.
Thanks, everybody! I feel better now, I'm afraid I'm a bit of a worrier.
I've had mostly good results with UPS, with the exception of the last shipment, my MK3 took a week to get here, it sat in in Germany for awhile and in Kentucky for two more days. But then it takes about a week to get anything from California by UPS and even longer by USPS. It amazes me how I can get things from Prague as quick as three days
Hopefully, my order will ship soon. Lost a damn tensioning spring from the extruder so I took the opportunity to order some Filament while I was at it.
Thanks Again!

Re: DHL Shipping questions.

Re: DHL Shipping questions.
I heard a few stories that folks got it 1 day later,, but my experience has been by COB same day as it was reported to be delivered.
