I had it and liked it, but unfortunately Amazon relied quite a bit on  
DHL and they were incapable of finding my house (even after multiple  
shipments). My 2-day deliveries often took longer than a week. Since  
I tend to spend more than $25/order, the USPS free shipping would  
have been faster on average. Furthermore, DHL kept *lying* to Amazon,  
telling them they tried to deliver it and I wasn't there, and one  
time the timestamp for the nondelivery was while I was on the phone  
with them hearing the excuse that the plane was just too full for  
them to process all the packages in a timely matter.

Amazon refunded the $79 for the service (which I'd had for about a  
year) and the cost of my last order. If they could ever guarantee  
that DHL was never used as my delivery service I'd sign back up.

I'll never use DHL if I can avoid it.
