DHL - Shipment on hold

[Gage 2]

This is more just general advice on the topic of shipping legal documents than it is for the original poster. Keep in mind that, depending on the country, certain legal documents CAN be denied for shipment. Russia, for instance, restricts the importing of a birth, death, or wedding certificates. Will they confiscate them? Probably not, but they can if they want to. I sent my BC to my fiancee during our K-1 process and it got there just fine. Other people may not be so lucky.

DHL is UNBELIEVABLY bad! NEVER use DHL! EVER! I will write more later. I sent a package by DHL "Express", and it took nine days. But, that's NOT the bad part.

I have a question: Has anyone on this site experienced anything with DHL that would indicate that Identity Theft occurred with papers that you, unfortunately, sent through DHL "Express"? I am QUITE serious in asking this question. Thanks, Bill

DHL has just ruined our entire consular interview with an unspecified hold in Miami. Our packet of materials has been sitting in the same location for over a week now, and no one at DHL has been any use whatsoever. I'm so sorry not to have used USPS, which offers the same price and timetable and costs about a third as much. Thank goodness we can reschedule in a month from now, and pay everything all over again! DHL is our hero!
