And while Amazon also still uses DPD or Hermes, if their delivery doesn't work or they brought it to a shop kilometers away, you can just get a replacement from Amazon and will get a refund for the other item once it's back with them. Other sellers threaten to block you for that. I get that it incurs an extra cost on them but I just don't have to time to spend an hour just to pick up a delivery even though I was home all day.
Not in my experience. Most shops ship with DHL, so I order delivery to one of my Packstationen. If DHL brings it into a Postsubsidiary or somewhere inconvenient I just leave it there until it's sent back and reorder.
