When I ordered, I didn't see that I could choose between DHL and UPS ($1 more for UPS; big whoop). So I kept it on default, which was DHL@Home service. Mistake-a-mundo.DHL@Home delivers the package to the post office which is then responsible for getting the package to the recipient. DHL's system says it was delivered to the post office on Nov 23. So I wait... and wait... and wait... No package.Monday, I called DHL and they said it was delivered and there was nothing they could do about it. So I called the 800 number on USPS.com they gave for my post office. I put in a claim and that was that. I called today and the claim wasn't in the system. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f621.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":mad:" title="Mad    :mad:"  data-smilie="4"data-shortname=":mad:" /> So I filed another claim. I also asked for a phone number to my post office since the 800 number was the only one listed online. I got it and called. I talked to a nice guy who seemed surprised I hadn't received it. I gave him the info and he said he'd call me back.He called back about 15 minutes ago and told me that when DHL drops off packages at the post office, the post office is not allowed to scan the packages individually into their system. DHL forces them to scan a manifest, which is a list of all packages that are, supposedly, in the bundle being dropped off. So... The post office had my package in the system as part of the manifest BUT they didn't physically have the package. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f621.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":mad:" title="Mad    :mad:"  data-smilie="4"data-shortname=":mad:" /> But the guy at the post office was really cool and gave me his name to give to ThinkGeek if they needed confirmation. I called ThinkGeek and, without missing a beat, the customer service rep said he'd call DHL and file a claim and ship me off a replacement 2nd day air. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60e.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:"  data-smilie="6"data-shortname=":cool:" /> The moral of the story: DHL Bad! ThinkGeek Good!</blockquote>
