Years ago, Amazon used DHL. I complained once about the service with them, and they said they had to continue using them in my area until they'd had enough complaints. (Which I felt was kind of reasonable, I guess.)
Less than a year later, they were no longer using them in my area, and then a while later I hear DHL basically doesn't exist in the USA.
So yeah, Amazon can apparently kill a mail carrier. Whether they will or not will depend on how bad that carrier does its business.
- ensignavenger 10y agoI don't know that Amazon killed them, DHL just pretty much failed to get a foothold in the US market. I never had any trouble with them when they were delivering where I lived, myself.
- CPLX 10y agoThat is an extraordinarily loose usage of the principle of cause and effect.
- wccrawford 10y agoObviously Amazon alone didn't kill them. But being dropped by Amazon as a carrier certainly didn't do them any favors.
- Grishnakh 10y agoI've had one package shipped by DHL to me, ever. The package never arrived, but the driver claimed it did; I even watched as the tracking showed it as "delivered" at a certain time in the morning on a day I was home and was watching for the package. I filed a complaint, and the driver came to me personally with a nasty attitude and left in a snit. I never did get my package, or a refund, or anything. That was my one and only experience with DHL. I'm glad they no longer operate in the US. I've had countless packages delivered by UPS, FedEx, and USPS, and never had them go missing; my only problems were when drivers want a signature when I'm not home and can't leave it at the door and I end up having to drive to the distribution center to pick it up. Good riddance, DHL.
