I usually use EMS or SAL registered when I get a package shipped from Japan, but neither are available now, so I tried DHL. DHL is sooo much faster, my packages have been getting here in 4 business days, as opposed to the 2 weeks EMS takes or the month for SAL. I just had a package delivered yesterday. I had received an email on the 13th telling me my package was shipped & to expect it on the 18th. Then yesterday I got another email saying it was being delivered that day & it was!. One day delivery from Japan, awesome! Down side, it was not cheap, but right now I'm willing to buy a little happiness by paying more
