Random Rants

It takes freaking long: they're so pernickety that I had to drive to the customs office once to pick up a music-CD (!!!!!). I don't dare to imagine how long it may take to clear a pants-parcel…

[Max Power]

Maybe it just doesn't get picked up by the striking postguys…

[Seul]

Any idea how long the strike will continue?.. Have a German package incoming, but it hasn't moved, hasn't even been entered into the database since Monday… 

[Pavel Pipovič]

It´s a strike for an indefinite period

Got some parcels shipped via DHL within germany, which took 10-14 days to deliver…

[Snowy]

Anyone want to do a TLDR on why they are striking? Rates, Hours, Conditions? or all 3?

[Seul]

From what I know: all three. So good luck to them!..

This explains why the belt I ordered from Peter Fields Berlin took over 2 weeks to receive.  Have always had slow delivery experiences with DHL, strikes or otherwise.

@snowy: as far as I know one of the main topics is the foundation of smaller regional companies that employs the delivery employees and as usual there's a rik of them getting paid less. But there's also a desire for more money in general. I didn't get a letter in 3 weeks and my packages took 2 weeks (some aren't here still).

Big chaos is at my workplace, as our inpatients don't get the letters with their appointments and the health insurances don't receive the letters asking for cost coverage. A bloody mess…100 people that need treatment and are hard to reach by phone.

That's not good, and country wide. I can't imagine it lasting much longer without some kind of country wide impact/give forcing a resolution one way or the other.

I entered the wrong code…

Die Sendung DHL350210862647 ist uns derzeit nicht bekannt.

That's cause my code is DHL350210862647… Eejit...

It's in Belgium as we speak. You guys SUCK at striking 

[BloodnThunder]

@Finkster it'll make it…..  Hopefully it's not something you need really soon though.  Worst part about it is you're just in the dark the whole time.  Then it magically appears....  (That's what she said).

IT'S TOO FUCKIN WARM.

[Jordonf9]

Iron Heart has made my wallet light! Making too many quality pieces….

[Snowy]

^Least your wallet is light, no back problems from heavy wallet :))

[Finkster]

I wish, I had a 'heavy' wallet - since IH .. no way! 

[Finkster]

No IH-order in Juli      (because - coming events cast their shadows before    )

… and it's too fuckin warm!

[Giles]

Oh well, still have The Bootery ….....
