DHL a bargain?!? Not according to me -- I've had to use them twice to send a couple of 8 page documents to Bulgaria -- i.e. something that would fit in a regular mail envelope. Was almost $200 each. (I had no choice -- FedEx/UPS do not send stuff to Bulgaria, and USPS has no certified/Express Mail service going there either -- I sent a huge, very heavy book to Brazil via USPS Express Mail last year, it was overnight for 1/3 the cost.).That really surprises me. Apple isn't exactly known for going bargain.
I have all sorts of complaints about DHL, but bargain it ain't. FWIW they were faster in delivering from China than UPS/FedEx -- my MBP arrived two days ahead of the earliest possible shipment date -- and the delivery itself was very professional -- two DHL -- people are there making sure I got it and signed it off.
My complaint is that DHL's UI/online contact/phone contact are all beyond bad. They even had the wrong location of their nearest UWS in Manhattan service listed online, when I was sending with them.
