Update: on Yousef’s shipment: finally in Jeddah, again. Wanna see something funny? Here’s the shipment mapped.
DHL EasyShop is another US forwarding services similar to MyUS. I didn’t get the chance to try it but if you’re interested read this first impressions post on 2:48am and this site dedicated to comment about how bad it really is.
With my many MyUS shipments I noticed that some shipments stay idle in DHL Bahrain for a long time (2 or more days some times). There was no reason for that delay, they simply chill out in Bahrain. I call it “the DHL black hole in Bahrain”.
I talked about it a lot on twitter, but what happened to me can’t be matched by what Yraffah experienced. He complained about it on twitter (here, here, here, here and here). Basically his shipment went from the US to Bahrain then went to his city Jeddah, stayed there for a week then shipped to Bahrain, stayed there for a few days, currently it is in Riyadh!
So here’s the theory: DHL is deliberately stalling shipments from MyUS to discourage MyUS customers and promoted their own EasyShop service. A historian friend suggested this theory and I agree with him.
Please remember that this is a Conspiracy theory with no evidence to prove it except user experiences.

I think it’s a bold (m9l3ah) conspiracy my friend, no doubt. However, I’m not a big fan of conspiracy theories.
Let us hope myus switch to FeDex.

Actually you can ask myUS to use FedEx for your shipment, they are partners with both DHL/MYUS

I actually had a shipment that was delayed for a whole week but DHL blamed it on the jamarik .. the odd thing is that 2 days later after arriving in shargyah it was cleared from the jamarik .. then it’s status went back into jamarik for another 4 days till we got it.. i dont know if it actually was the jamarik or not but im just sayin~

seems they noticed your theory and know its true so they deleted your tracking number history although i have some tracking numbers from 2 years ago and they are still there.
