Tayda package

So I had a good stock of replacement parts coming today and even though DHL said it was delivered, nothing was there. End to a perfect day.
 
That’s brutal. Never had it happen to me, I don’t live in an area inundated with porch pirates though.
 
The last big shipment of PCBs was delivered and signed for by a person I do not know.

It took almost an entire day of phone calls, but they finally went and retrieved the package from the wrong address and delivered it. :oops:
 
I've had a few issues like this lately. One was my postal carrier signing that I refused a package, when in reality I had watched as he fumbled around in the back of his truck, looked exasperated, and then drove away without delivering anything (my home office has a window facing the street). Another time a friend mailed me a package that simply seemed to disappear at my local PO for about two weeks, though the tracking said "out for delivery", and only arrived after I had made several phone calls and opened a claim.

Usually my Tayda deliveries are fulfilled by a DHL driver, which is interesting because from what I can tell we don't have any kind of DHL hub here - they must drive here from Chicago (over a 100 miles from me). Sometimes it is delivered by a nondescript white van. I always get notifications that I need to sign for my deliveries from them, but I never have, nor have they ever asked.

My last Tayda order was supposed to include half a dozen LM833 chips, but the little pink baggie only had some zener diodes in it. no chips.

Did you check with your neighbors? I've had stuff delivered to the neighbors that said was delivered to my house.
 
Unfortunately I have to sign for the DHL delivery, or find the form on my door that I sign to get it delivered the next day without the signature.
 
I have a case open with DHL, still no sign of the package. I am not sure of what the recourse will be, but it was $70 worth of parts and I am a little leary to use DHL again. Tayda has an option to use FedEx for me, and it is a dollar more. I may go that route in the future.
 
I always use the registered mail option. It's slower and cost a bit more but I never have to pay customs charges on small packages. The DHL always gets me a 30-40 CAD$ charge :/

I feel your pain. I once got 55$ CAD (42 USD) custom charge from DHL on a 176$ USD order.

I use normal postal service now and hope it takes less than a month... I'm currently still waiting for an order places January 14th...
 
My last Tayda order shipped Jan 8 and it just showed up yesterday. Sometimes it shows up in 2 weeks which is nice haha
