Thanks DHL!!

A warning that may help some of you in the future. I ordered a trio of Wandering Garters. They were picked up from the breeder on 8/30/07 at 1:31 pm. Sent to me for next day delivery by DHL. I finally got them today...9/5/07. Five days late on a next day service. Needless to say the opening of this package was a horror. All three had died of apparent dehydration. Also needless to say, I will never purchase again if the shipment will be handled by DHL!

The vendor, Tricountyexiotics has been great. They are sending a replacemeent thru a different carrier service. The thing that has upset me so terribly was the lack of caring when I contacted the carrier and of coarse the needless death of the Garters.

oh Sid
I'm so sorry
that totally sucks
I've had a bad experience with DHL shipping too
not quite as bad as this
but I've been avoiding them and sellers who use them

I once had a mishap with a delivery, because my friend, who had been left to wait for the delivery didn't understand our intercom system (I think)
when I called the carrier, after realizing they had attempted delivery earlier, they told me that they would attempt re-delivery next day
after pleading and crying on the phone, they got the truck to come back and deliver just a couple of hours later the same day
I really like that I got a live person to cry to and plead with
and that they actually reached the truck driver and all that
and this despite the fact that they're a huge company
recently I had to make decision, how to get a snake shipped and decided to spend the extra bucks on this shipper, because they've consistently come through
