    I'll try that. Pissed since I was expecting it today, and DHL now said monday.


    This means I'll have to cut my vacation short and be home on monday instead of tuesday

    If there anything like UPS you dont need to cut your vacation short becuase of shipping, they will usually make multiple attemps to try and deliver it before you have to pick it up from them. its no biggie.

    I got mine via FedEx Overnight, however I live in a very rural area and I almost never see a DHL truck within 20 miles of my house.
