I really like UPS thought. I've had probley the best luck with them overall.
Same here... Better luck with UPS. The only time I use DHL is for any shipments I may get from J4bberwock in France. The DHL driver will call me and I will meet them at Wendy's Restraunt about 15 minutes away to avoid having to wait longer.
I see, i used DHL to receive the one B8 i bought and it took an amazing 4 days(to Québec), so i received it the same week, i was able to pay duty online to avoid "delays" even though that was probably BS. And it was the cheapest.
All in all i liked my experience, UPS tend to be a bit slow, though i never had any actual problem with them whatsoever. Fedex however, i had really bad experience and i plan on not using them ever again. I had good experience with CP/USPS too but its not an option here.
And everyone has their own best. Once you find it stick with it. DHL is only one I have had not deliver and ship through USPS to my door when they could have delivered that day, so they add 2-3 extra day's on almost anything I get with them.
But for some they are in the center of the drivers area and it is good on DHL. Just varies for each person. But DHL if you don't get "DHL Door to Door" which most packages don't have (in my experience at least) they have the right to ship 3rd party like USPS to get to you. And it's all up to driver on if they do that, so edge of delivery area experiences this much more.
