Deutsche Post/DHL

[BamaBlue65]

Hello shippers, My main question is what's the time frame for a parcel leaving India, and making it to me here in the SE United States?
Will it take the same New York route as EMS?
What procedures does it take, once arriving here, wherever in the States? Do yall find it more reliable than EMS?
What is the average cost of a 500g parcel, from India, to the United States?
Is it any different than DHL eCommerce?..
Is this too many questions for 1 post? Lol..
Thank you all beforehand for your responses

Is this not a forum, for perhaps receiving insight, answers for my questions from people that may have experience with what questions I may inquiring upon agent man? With that remark, I'd rather you not comment back at all, since you must've had a package or two seized lately, or mad at the world cuz ur fruity loopers were too soggy for ya this morning..
Damn brother, as I see you in alot of threads here in Shipping Talk, your sure not representing this forum very well with that sort of response. Also hey!, I've never would have thought of asking DHL.. *SMFH
* Nevermind, your profile pic tells me what's up..

no offense,but not many on this forum know much about India,thats why it is better to ask DHL.
As you can see now,you dont have any one posting .

Not too many US sellers use DHL,as it is expensive,but there are outfits which you can join and get a membership discount,the one I have experience with is called INXPRESS.
My overseas suppliers use DHL,from Austria and SE Asia(not India).
From DHL Europe to USA,it will land in Ohio and then from Ohio to the rest of the country,
Cant recall how it works from DHL Asia,could be West Coast,either LA or San Fran.
I hope this helps.

Thank you kindly agent006140. Yes, its coming from India. I thought it would take the same route as EMS, through New York/JFK airport, but then again, I see that DHL mainly goes to Ohio first stop, so idk..
agent006140, is Deutsche Post/DHL the same as eCommerce?
Also, from your experience, if have used EMS in past, would your package say Customs first, or ISC sorting facility? The 17Track is showing "Inbound to Customs" first, followed by "Your item is being processed through our ISC facility" both with same date, n time, being 1:15pm 08/19/19..
If tracking hasn't showed at my local PO today, or tomorrow, I'm thinking that baby is a goner!
Shipper said will use Deutsche Post/DHL Monday. Will try my fiancee 's name this time, but will be same address. If no show next time, will think about a UPS Store rental box, as bad as I would hate that. They will sign for you also..
I really appreciate your information agent006140. Have a great day ahead..
