I deliver to around 10 different dentist offices on my route and most of them have been getting pre-paid labels and UPS supplies. They will also begin OCA's or hand me packages when I deliver to them. They are not becoming shippers themselves but Artistic Dental Labs are our new customer from DHL and they pay for shipping for these dental offices. It seems that DHL had alot of the dental business that will now be coming our way.
Other than that, I've noticed plenty of Nordstroms as well as Dell Peripherals packages that we got from DHL. I'm not used to being able to DR anything of Dell's but they are DR-able. Also seeing some small businesses on my route getting supplies from UPS. Some of them I turned in as leads but I didn't get credit for the sell as they are represented by resellers such as WorldWide Express or Unishippers which were both selling DHL products but are now selling UPS services. They are in direct competition with drivers summiting leads as well as our own salesforce. From what I understand, they cannot contact any current UPS customers to get them to switch to them but they can go after new business. The account exec's around here are not happy with them at all as they have lost alot of driver's lead business because of these resellers that we sold before they made the conversion to UPS. I lost one lead myself. Sold the customer, had the salesperson contact them, set up their account only to be denied her commission (and mine as well) because they were previously represented by a reseller that then converted them to UPS. So a FYI, if you try to sell a current DHL customer, find out if they are represented by a reseller such as WWE or Unishippers because if they are, they will be converting to UPS anyway and you will not get credit for a lead.
Sorry to throw the thread off a bit but wanted to let other drivers know that you will not get credit for reseller DHL leads.
