DHL and the weather...

[NickIcon]

I'm excited - I have new shiny on its way, managed to get an order in for a GP PAPS 2.1.

I am therefore impatient and have been refreshing DHL's tracking page incessantly since this morning but alas, it seems that the adverse weather conditions around East Midlands airport have been impeding my delivery's progress:



Really DHL? Has it been snowing again down there?

[Karma]

High winds perhaps?

I'm waiting on parcel force....Could be another hour

Pants and it's a big heavy parcel too (£10 shipping) - christian tracts

Amazing, travels through Bulgaria, Slovakia, Germany and gets held up in Birmingham. Could understand high winds disrupting the flights, but not the road travel.

The 'Due to adverse weather conditions...' is probably translated into... 'Couldn't get the driver out of his pit'

Hope you get it soon Nick.

Yep - spot on!

When I get my hands on a teleportation device I'm gonna ruin DHL.

Down here in the on the South Coast anything below 10C is cold and below 5C is Arctic and 3 snowflakes constitute blizzard coditions.

Well the snow blizzard in the Midlands appears to have cleared up : "Arrived at Delivery Facility in NEWCASTLE - UK"

DHL, all is forgiven.
