My favourite part is the nine minutes it takes for the shipment to travel from Cincinnati to Seattle.
However, I note with much disappointment that it takes a full hour for it to return to Cincinnati. The eastbound portion of this round trip is much too slow.
What a bunch of slackers.
Oh, and BTW: DHL sucks canal water in eastern Canada. Always has.

I’ve never used DHL before, but it’s apparent that their concept of “next possible business day” differs from what one would ordinarily expect. According to the notifications I received from the vendor, the request for pickup was entered on Monday. The tracking page shows that it wasn’t picked up until Tuesday evening.
Once customs gets their grubby mitts on it, I’m guessing it’ll be Thursday or even Friday before it actually gets here. Depending on how many times it teleports back to Cincinnati, of course.

It doesn’t state if the times shown are the customer’s local time, or the time of the package’s locale.
So the 9 minutes to get from Cincinnati to Seattle could really be 3h9m, which is within the slim realm of possibility.
Of course, that would mean that it took -2 hours to get from Seattle back to Cincinnati, which I know how to do, but I’m not sharing the secret.

For what it’s worth, it arrived late Wednesday afternoon, which means it actually arrived sometime Thursday and caught a timely wormhole back a day…
