For shipments coming to US ,Fed Exp is better than DHL,but it is more expensive.

DHL labels themselves as "the international specialists" so it's no surprise to me that they are less than ideal for US to US shipping.
The one time I tried to use Fedex for an inventory shipment (long time ago) it took me 7 days to get the shipment instead of 3 and it cost me about $50 more in shipping cost. I only used them because DHL was backed up at the time, but I almost instantly regretted it.

No,I am talking about Fed Exp intl shipments coming into USA,DHL is great in other countries but not so in USA.
DHL USA once offers domestic shipping slightly cheaper than USPS and some Ebay sellers have tried them,and it was terrible,packages never delivered,cant even find where they went

I ONLY use sea shipping and fedex express for international. Fast, efficient and magnitudes less issues than DHL and UPS.
It is always amazing how we all have very different experiences with everything in life.

Fortunately all of my prices are the same as before CNY. There's just a lot of uncertainty about when things will be shipped.
