DHL closing down domestic shipping in the USA hurts us as shipers and most of all the employees that will soon find themselves without a job. Accodring to DHL’s website starting 11/10/08 they will no longer ship any domestic packages unless you have an existing DHL account.
For existing DHL users, this affects you in many ways.You must contact DHL and confirm the dates service will end and how the will handle any lost or damage claims.
You will need to get used to using FedEx or UPS. If you are using them but do not ship large volume with them as you might have shipped with DHL contact your Account Manager for rates.
You can negotiate better rates. This is the time to contact FedEx and UPS and use this as leverage.
For the employees of DHL this is the time to contact FedEx, UPS and their subcontractors to get jobs. Or find a way to start your own delivery business and subcontract with the carriers. The majority of the carriers have hubs in Ohio. Time to contact everyone.
Back to domestic shipping. UPS and FedEx are the largest national ground shipping carriers. Open an account with them and get used to their system. Don’t forget you can also use USPS.
Finaly note: DHL terminating their services in the US hurts us in many areas. Now is the time to implement changes and find new avenues of revenue and shipping options.
