Shipping: A lesson learned

I purchased a pair of Apogee Stages from a person who lives approx 150 miles from me. The speakers were shipped FedEx Express Saver (similar to UPS 3 day), at a cost of $115. I used this as I was once told by a Fedex employee, they were wrong, that Fedex ground doesn't have COD. Well, for some strange reason, Fedex Express Saver, although more expensive, takes longer than Fedex Ground. Ground would have taken 1 day, while Express Saver is "guaranteed" in 3 days or less. I was hoping that I would get the speakers today, but they didnt arrive

So for a short ride, it pays to pay less.

WRONG: "DHL (this is FedX ground)".

DHL is DHL. Fed EX Ground is (was) RPS.

RPS is (was) one of the most unreliable services we have ever used (and we used them daily for several months until we had to give up on them). DHL is the MOST reliable service we have ever used (thousands of times). RPS (Fed EX Ground) is not even comparable, let alone the same thing.

DHL is an air shipment company, and has nothing to do with any ground
service, and is not "FedX ground"!

DHL does handle some of USPS's shipments
(and UPS & Fed Ex air for many non U.S countries, especially Africa).
