there are several reasons
here are but a few...
Crazy FAST! when your tracking sez leaving HongKnog get ready I have seen divery is as little as 12 hours later-
VERY safe- many boxes to me none lost so far.
Pre inspected- DHLChina adds their yellow 'inspected' tape and after that no others feel the need to open your boxes.
Careful handling- far less reports of damaged boxes than any other carriers.
800 service and info.
I found this way to get tracking before your seller sends it...
Only, however with DHL Express- ups- fed(up) ex.. et al will not be as helpful as DHL.
First call 800 225 5345 DHL Express
your goal is to speak with a human being-
follow the prompts until you get one.
Then ask if they can check to see if your package has gotten a label yet.
they will ask for your zip code at the very least
if any packages are in the system going to your zip they will ask for more info.
With luck they may be able to give you the track #s.
No carrier will have a perfect record but IMO DHL is the best- any extra $$ is well worth it.
its more about safe and unopened boxes to me than fast delivery.
Not sure if my math is correct (13 hrs time diff between us and China)
but I once got delivery in 60 hrs from the box being handed to DHL China-
So if you are given an option of shippers pick DHL even if it costs more-
if you go with EMs, China Post. hongkong post,FedEx or UPS etc and your box never arrives you will be kicking your own ass.
