    Hmm, I haven't experienced DHL to find out if they were good or not. Looks like just UPS, USPS and FedEX are the only ones left.

    Hmmm..That's too bad. :( The job loss, and the potential *ripple effect*

    I thought that Dell was starting to use FedEx more, anyways??? :confused:

    That's pretty sad really. I know they were cutting the air portion of their services and outsourcing to UPS which was taking about 8,000 jobs out of Ohio. Now it looks like the whole thing is gone.

    Yeah, Dell used DHL primarily as I recall (at least, every Dell I've gotten from them [a lot, heh] has come on a DHL truck). I wonder who they'll switch to....

    Seems like FedEx. Or UPS, they have used them before within the last few years.
