My internet has been being weird for the past while so I've been able to read some of this thread but not post.
Firstly, I don't blame Scotweb for DHL's stupidity/dislexia. But, I'm still upset that they sent it DHL in the first place when their website said FedEx.
And I called DHL after my package spent several days in KY. It turns out some well-meaning person "corrected" the label and DHL was trying to send it to Ashton, KY instead of Afton, WY.
They couldn't find my address in KY (duh) so they were preparing to send it BACK to Scotweb.
So I got that cleared up and it finally showed up on the website that my package was in final transit....but remained that way for 2 days. I called again. I was told that DHL doesn't deliver to my area. I asked if the package was still in Idaho Falls because I could pick it up there (it was on the way to the wedding in Montana) but they had turned it over to USPS that morning. This was the 28th...the deadline I had told Scotweb. The wedding wasn't until the 30th but we were supposed to leave on the 28th. Well, we decided to wait until the mail came the next day at 10. It came! Luckily, the people at our post office know who we are otherwise we never would have got it. See, we have a PO box...Scotweb told us they couldn't send anything to PO boxes, so the mailing lable said our physical address.....way down on South Highway 89 10 miles out of town.
I'm in the same situation as Ron is and I agree with what he said. I was worried sick about DHL would leave my kilt on the porch in a blizzard, at the end of my driveway in the snow (its been done before...), or that my 6 involuntarily-inherited dogs would have it torn apart. As soon as it said "Final transit" I spent most of the day watching out the window and playing outside with my (own) two dogs with a baby moniter strapped to my hip.
So yes, we did up up getting the kilts in time for an enjoyable weekend. We just had to leave a day later than expected (in the afternoon with a baby) the very minute we had them in the car.
