[QUOTE="former DHL driver, post: 392232"] I hate to destroy a perfectly good rumor but the truth of the matter is that DHL, as of yesterday (8/29/08) no longer offers what they called their "At Home" product. At Home was a discounted shipping option (cheaper than even their ground rates) available to large shippers like Amazon.com and others. This service involved DHL picking up in bulk from a large shipper and transporting the product through their system to the correct post office indicated by zip code for final delivery by the PO. They are losing money on this as well as their ground service because DHL doesn't have a ground transportation network like UPS and therefore all of their freight travels by air. This change is just part of a much larger restructuring process that will be ongoing for the next 12-18 months. Just thought you'd like to know... [/QUOTE]
