HAs anyone order stuff off ebay from a german sellers and get it send via Postpaket Deutsche Post?How long did it take to arrive and Who delivered it?DHL?

i've ordered off german ebay but it was sent by GLS surprised they lost my package for 2 weeks and then suddenly reappeared.

deutsche post owns DHL or vice versa and dhl are very efficent anytime i've taken delieveries with them

Computer stuff, right? Just so we can pretend you're in the right forum?

PowerHouseDan

Ya i got no tracking number well dont think so cant read the german recp, my house is a pain to find and Dhl cant tell me anything

PowerHouseDan

Yup computer stuff thought this place would be the best...

Postpaket can be slow - its just ordinary post. It can take a while - I had something from Switzerland shipped that way and it took a month. An item from Germany took 3 weeks. I'm not sure how it is delivered to you in the end though - my stuff came to work.

Regarding online tracking the number isn't much good - it may be useful if its gets lost but it doesn't provide much info.

DHL is owned by Deutsche Post.

Anyway.....i'll race you....i'm hoping that living right in the middle of dublin will get it to me quicker than where ever in the stix of Cork you live....

don't forget GLS.

they somehow seemed to think i don't live in my house anymore and rescan a parcel saying "person doesn't live there anymore" despite the parcel having the correct address and my phone number and mobile number on it ohh and one other thing my house is on one of the main streets of one of the biggest towns in ireland.
