[QUOTE="BrownSuit, post: 330805, member: 14437"] As far as all the "rumors" . . . Whoever purchases DHL would be bound by their contracts with customers for X length of time until they could send notice to have them canceled. Not sure what that would be for DHL, but for UPS I believe it's around 30 days. That means that they would be stuck sending ground packages for $3 and air packages for like $9 for a lot of these people. That's a bit of an exaggeration, but I think you get the idea. For at least a month, imagine the amount of money that would be lost. That combined with a faulty infrastructure (DHL owns very little these days, most is owned by "resellers" and "operators") it's not as attractive as everybody makes it out to sound. Both FedEx and UPS are better off avoiding it like the plague and getting more money from customers they get back and from not having to offer cut-rate deals to keep customers from going to DHL or get them back.
