The DHL policies and practices obviously differ from country to country. My first contact with them was few years ago when I ordered some video-courses from The Teaching Company (The Great Courses). They shipped their materials with DHL only. Then I went through a tiring EORI number validating procedure, because DHL required it (the Post never requires it). At least I had that number now when I ordered the Sakura Tram. But with DHL fees, the additional charges were about 50 USD, and that's a bit too much...
But there is another problem: I noticed the eBay sellers increased the price of Standard International Shipping (now it is 24-46 USD for some Plarail trains I want). I suppose it's because they can't ship with the Japan Post so they have to use DHL.
