Last statement

Delivery arranged no details expected.

Two packages arrived by EMS this morning.

This is all despite the courier company being told from the start (Friday 12 Nov) that the destination shown on their tracking page was wrong.

Downright hopeless logistics.

DHL

Couldn't have been UPS as they don't have any tracking info once they give it to the local agents (non UPS company) upon arrival in Bangkok heading for Samui.

DHL for sure. They were going to be called DHK (Don't Honestly Know) but they mistyped it when they registered the name

Correct. What is even better is that they have still only delivered two of the three boxes sent.

Unbelievable.

I sent the tracking schedule to the head of DHL in Germany (DHL is owned by Deutsche Post) to see if he saw the funny side of this!

I stopped using DHL about 7/8 years ago.

I have stuff couriered to me from quite a few places around the world, but the ONLY time that I had to pay 'import tax' is with DHL in Bangkok. Every time. If I wanted a receipt, it was extra! They always told me that to collect the items I would have to go to Bangkok, pay the tax and then they could release it. No way said I - send it back to sender!

Eventually they would accept payment in Samui.

I cannot understand how all of the Formula 1 cars are always there on time!

A China supplier who was trying to send me some product samples had to abandon his efforts to send to me because DHL China informed him Koh Samui did not exist on DHL's computer map of the world, despite DHL listing a Koh Samui Rep Office on their website.

Fedex delivered the parcel to Samui within two days without any hassle.... other than they delivered it to a neighbour not me, and were happy to accept a Thai womans signature as mine, luckly honest neighbour and not valuable :jap:
