First place: Germany - last parcel from Housil took only 3 days to reach me.

Second place: Spain - seems that Luis0449 took a week to reach Romania.

Third place: Netherlands. Good tracking, moderate speed. Wish that our friend Cracker will find some time to share with us, if his girlfriend not killed him yet. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Honorary Mention : Belgium and Norway. Belgium took a big minus, my parcel for Lemmensrecon is out of the blue.

Second worse: Russian post. Slow and bad tracking.

Worst postal service: USPS. Big delays, a parcel out of the blue.

Please share your opinions. :mrgreen:

I have to say when receiving packages shipped from abroad to the USA I have had best luck with DHL, next is UPS Global.

Dunno a whole lot about them but I hear that J.E. Philips & Sons out of Tennessee are pretty good for shipping; lately though they seem to be mostly transporting stuff for FEMA, i.e. coffins and detention camp materials, according to a couple friends of mine who are "in the know."

So far I have received parcels from Romania, they were a little slow but got a nice tracking system. :wink:
Also one time I received a package from Bulgaria, slow but reliable.
I got one parcel from Germany and it went great too.
USPS is kind of weird to send and track packages that go abroad. Once they get into the hands of Customs , they enter ...THE VOID! :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Is like following the Voyager probes when they went into the unknown of space!

Gemany -> Australia 4th Feb arrived 16th Feb

That is still pretty good for around the world.

My guess is the prevailing winds were favouring the Qantas jet heading to Germany :D

I agree dirtbag it took over a month for me to get the rations to me originally but just over a week too get them to Housil ??????
