I wonder where it is sitting. A dark corner of a seldom-used office?

Probably would have been quicker to send a pigeon.

This would have been a great job for Speedy Moto. The cost would have had to be a tad higher, but delivery would have been guaranteed

Aye...and a dead pigeon at that.

Maybe if they let it hang in a ruddy storage facility long enough, it’ll get stamped by a pigeon! 🤣

There will be a welcoming committee in Lynton waiting for your letter.

One of the companies I work with sent three packages earlier this month with DHL from Glasgow to Mendoza
One arrived in 4 days, one in 8, and the third in 14 days.
Each one weighed the same and was picked up at the same time
DHL cannot explain why this happened
The tracking system indicates the hold-up was east midlands airport.
Buenos Aires worked well for once - processing took two days in each case which was fine as customs duties had to be paid.

I regularly mail documents to the US using DHL. Depending on the US location, it may take 1 day longer. They estimate a week to deliver the package to take into account custom delays but they are always quicker.
I mailed on Wed to FL and NY - the client in FL received the package on Sunday (yes, in the US couriers deliver on Sunday! It happened before!), the client in NY received it on Monday.
On Thu, I mailed to CA and NJ. Estimated delivery was by Fri 23, however they both got it on Tue 20.
About 50% of the time, the envelope I drop at DHL before their afternoon pickup time (around 4 PM) has cleared customs in Miami bu the next morning. Then it spends one day sitting at the DHL facility in Miami before being dispatched. If the delivery address is in Florida, it is out for delivery on the next day. If it is going farther, it gets mailed to the Cincinnati Hub and from there to CA/NY/TN etc.
DHL has been slightly faster than previously, however they also increased the price from 40-42 USD to 47 USD, which is fine by me.
Their rate to the UK is not very competitive, though. Even at the blue rate, it was 36 GBP with a 5 day delivery. Which is approx the same turnaround time (5-7) given by EMS via Correo Argentino for 15 GBP. To my surprise, later last night my EMS mailing was showing up in the tracking system and today is labeled as having already been despatched to the UK.
Andreani and FedEx were prohibitively expensive. FedEx quoted me 23,000 ARS, while Andreani was around 16,000 ARS using a simulation tool, and 11,000 ARS using their fare tables.
One thing caught my attention: since my client is based in the UK and doesn't speak Spanish, I wanted to give him an English website to track his shipping. Royal Mail recognized the tracking code as an EMS parcel, and redirected me to this website: https://www.parcelforce.com/track-trace
Apparently, EMS is a beast of its own.
This is the first time I am using EMS and if it really works this good, I may use it more often, as their rate is very competitive. I just have to stand in line at the Correo Office and fill in 3 pieces of sheet by hand, but other than that, it's half the price.
GlasgowJohn , do you have a business account with DHL and get better rates?
Express mail is an expedited mail delivery service for which the customer pays a premium for faster delivery. Express mail is a service for domestic and international mail, and is in most nations governed by the country's own postal administration. Since 1999, the international express delivery services are governed by the EMS Cooperative.

Today I mailed a letter to the UK using EMS service by Correo Argentino for 2,760 ARS (about 15 GBP). Supposedly, 5-7 days to deliver that in Lynton, UK. So far, it's been 3 hours and it doesn't even show up in the system. I will be saying a little prayer tonight.
Mailed from Buenos Aires on April 21, 2021 and received in Lynton, UK on April 29, 2021. Expected delivery was 5-7 days, and in fact it took 6 working days.
The tracking is still quite detailed. It even shows an image of the recipient's signature on delivery.
The original tracking code was EE........AR and it was reclassified with a EH.....GB code. Still, the tracking worked all the way with the original tracking code.

I'm trying to get a small parcel sent to me from my brother via DHL UK but they say there are problems with the service to Argentina, with no further info available.
Has anyone else used DHL recently?
This here doesn't make pleasant reading

Does Amazon ship to Argentina, I received a gift voucher and Amazon says it delivers to Argentina, but I have my doubts.

I'm not sure if they do really. In my case, the spare part is at my brother's house and I'll be using Royal Mail registered to a friend in Uruguay who will eventually come over to BA in his car.
I'm not prepared to go through all the bullshit this end.

I got a couple of DHL shipments last month,
Delivered without any major hassle.

That sounds promising. Were the charges astronomical?
