I had placed a replacement order for the recipe binder refill pages, cards and some other stuff (they will be discont. them at some point in time in the future -- they said) , and when I checked the shipping to track it, it sent me to DHL's website... Has anyone had this happen before. Is this new? Kinda confused here. I know that my order will be light weight, but never heard of them using ANYTHING but UPS.:confused:
 
I noticed this for an adjustment that is being shipped out to a customer of mine. I saw it went to their site when I tried to track it. Who knows, maybe PC is playing around with using someone else for things like replacement parts and adjustments. Hmmmmm, interesting!
 
My replacement order says DHL too! It shipped 2 days ago and I should have had it today, but it didn't show up, darn it!:mad:

OK, glad to know it isn't just me. I hadn't heard of this before. I just wanted to check. Thanks for the info.!!!
 
DHL is a subsidiary of Deutsche Post, the German Post Office. I hope PC doesn't change their shipper!! I think DHL is much less reliable, more expensive and uncooperative customer service I have ever experienced!!!

I get all of my stuff via USPS, instead of UPS, but when I get back to the states I don't want to have to deal with DHL!! They are awful!!!
