Only USPS ships everywhere. If you go to UPS/FedEx/DHL, they will tell you they ship everywhere and take your package, but if they deem your package not profitable enough they will hand it over to USPS.
The shipping market is incredibly complex with USPS and FedEx actually being each other's largest customers.
- kuschku 10y agoDHL ships everywhere except for the US, where you're right, they do outsource shipping to the USPS. DHL used to have its own delivery network everywhere in the US, too, but they found it hard to compete.
- was_boring 10y agoYou're right. I should have prefaced my comment as talking only about shipping in the US.
- generj 10y agoThat is true, but it is also true that UPS and FedEx still operate a lot of non-profitable areas. They rely on easier metro areas to help subsidize the losses.
