DHL Dies

DHL, a popular shipping alternative to FedEx, UPS and the US Postal Service, has gone belly up in the ever more fun economic crisis. Today the company announced that it will end all domestic shipping services starting January 30th (which means 9,500 layoffs) while only international shipping to/from the US will remain. Hopefully one less competitor in the ring won’t increase all of our internet shipping costs too greatly. [DHL]

    DHL hasn’t ‘died’! It might seem that way to a myopic American but it’s only pulled out of the domestic US market. Look closely and you’ll see they make most of their money elsewhere anyway.

    Just another sign of US decline ..

    DHL did not die……they simply followed in the foot steps of Dr. Jack Kavorkian……assisting in the suicide of the company formerly known as AIRBORNE EXPRESS……this third leg in the U.S. shipping market had openly irritated its big brothers (FedEx…UPS) for years……and the good ol boys of Wilmington OHIO sold their sweetheart…..LOVE sure aint what it used to be…..MISS YOU ALL !!!
