Platinum Member V Posted October 13, 2022 Platinum Member Share Posted October 13, 2022 I order lots of parts from RockAuto.com and always use FedEx for delivery. I haven't needed any parts since the pound crashed against the dollar recently. I don't often order from multiple warehouses as I use the feature to optimise for shipping. However, on my last order using multiple warehouses was unavoidable. At the checkout there was a new FedEx button I had not seen before. I clicked it as it was the cheapest of the FedEx options. It included the words 'other carriers'. I have since found from my tracking email that some parts will be here in a few days via FedEx but the rest will be coming from the other warehouse using DHL. So, I've got a month to wait for DHL to lose my carton, find it again, damage it and lose some parts from inside before charging me a massive admin fee to pay the £3 customs charge due and then have a failed delivery because I was out and then have to collect from a depot. I will be wary of that new FedEx button next time. I could have had everything shipped by FedEx if only I had clicked the FedEx button I usually use. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Member V Posted October 22, 2022 Author Platinum Member Share Posted October 22, 2022 DHL are improving. Local delivery was by Hermes. No damage to carton or parts, nothing missing, no tax to pay, took 9 days to arrive. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
