DHL Advisory

7 years ago

I just spent way too much money to mail an envelop with legal documents from the US to my lawyer in Quito. Less than five hours later DHL sends me an email informing me that they've intercepted said envelope and found a single obsolete canadian dollar (a last minute gift to said lawyer's newborn niece) and cannot send the envelope onward with said currency enclosed... Wooaaa. Has anyone else had a similar experience where-in DHL is checking the contents of envelopes mailed to Ecuador??? Is DHL a vector where the mob and government intersect, not only in SA, but in NA too?!?) Last time I use DHL for *anything* - I'd rather have my sh*t stolen by some poor postman...
