Certainly got about. Hope it got its passport stamped

Surely that's an error?

Sent from my SM-G920F using TapatalkWell it's certainly not normal, or is it? Company even apologised that it was delayed. I reckon the parcel just wanted to see a bit of the world.

unbelievable !!! what an amazing adventure . i thought it was bad enough when i bought some speakers recently which are made in Scotland and then they are shipped over to the continent and then they are sent back to the UK via DHL !!!

It seems like DHL regularly send parcels weird routes, I suppose it makes sense to them.

The itineraries of these parcels will be optimised by computers and there will be logic in there even if it makes no sense to us.

Of course not good for those that want things to get to their destination as safely as possible with the minimum number of loads/unloads.

Absolutely. It goes without saying that it's during the loading/unloading that the damage occurs. And I doubt the delivery guys pay much attention to 'fragile' stickers on packages. It's down to the sender to make the parcel bombproof.

Although the couriers can be quite heavy handed I do have some sympathy for them. Courier companies work in an extremely competitive market and the drivers are at the sharp end of this with poor pay, often unrealistic deadlines and piss poor working conditions. I would have to be pretty desperate to do their job.
