Default OT - sort of



Phil, it took the Royal Navy five days to get me from Rosyth to Durness!!
Train to Lairg then 'the daily bus' to Durness.

Fantastic scenery and well worth the trip.

Above all steer clear of DHL, I have worked with them on and off for many
years and they are absolutely the worst. I had a DHL package from the
states recently for which I paid about $50, it took over a month and they
didn't even try to deliver, just left a message on the answering machine
eventually.


Such is life. I've used DHL for both outbound and inbound (where I
arranged for them to collect from Germany and deliver to me in UK).
Never a problem and in all cases collection to delivery was no more
than 2 days.


Try living here, it takes DHL 3 DAYS to get a parcel to me from
Inverness, but of course that is 41 miles!
