Aspen Postal Workers Say Mail Deliberately Delayed
(Colorado) "Local residents are facing extra delays to their mail; staff morale is at an all-time low at the Aspen post office; and some letters are being left in piles on the floor instead of being placed in their correct post office boxes, two postal workers claimed Thursday." Al DeSarro, spokesman for the Postal Service's western region, said it is unlikely mail is allowed to pile up in this manner."(4/29) http://www.aspendailynews.com/articles.cfm?id=2

DHL PRESENTS UNIQUE LINE OF PREPAID, FLAT-RATE PRODUCTS TO INDEPENDENT RETAIL MAIL AND PARCEL CENTERS
PLANTATION, Fla. -- April 28, 2005
DHL ShipReady(TM) Offers Consumer and Small Business Customers Hassle-Free, Paperwork-Free, Guaranteed Domestic Overnight Delivery
DHL, the world's leading express delivery and logistics company, today presented a unique line of prepaid, flat-rate express delivery products to independent mail and parcel centers in the United States. Beginning next month, DHL ShipReady(TM) products will be available for purchase at participating independent retail shipping locations affiliated with the Associated Mail & Parcel Centers (AMPC) and offering DHL express delivery and shipping services.
The introduction of the DHL ShipReady product line for AMPC-member independent mail and parcel centers is the latest initiative launched by DHL as part of an ongoing commitment to better serve the express shipping needs of consumers and small businesses everywhere, while increasing the company's street-level footprint and helping independent retail shipping locations to grow their own business. Independent retail mail and parcel centers were introduced to the DHL ShipReady line of products today as part of the AMPC's National Sales Convention in Nashville, Tennessee.
"DHL ShipReady offers customers the most unique and innovative prepaid, flat-rate express shipping solution in the market place," said John Pearson, executive vice president, commercial, for DHL. "ShipReady addresses a specific customer need for convenience in shipping, and we expect it will be overwhelmingly accepted by both the independent mail and parcel centers and their consumer and small business customers. Through this product, DHL is greatly enhancing its portfolio of services offered through independent retail shipping locations across the country, providing their customers with increased and simplified access to DHL."
DHL and the AMPC
Last year, DHL launched a nationwide program with AMPC-member independent mail and parcel centers and current licensees of the group's cooperative buy program and consumer brand, the Neighborhood Postal Center (NPC). Under DHL's Preferred Provider Program, participating retail shipping stores adopted DHL as their preferred transportation provider for express delivery and shipping services, and promote DHL services to their customers. To date, more than 1,600 independent retail mail and parcel centers are participating in the program.
DHL ShipReady Benefits
DHL ShipReady products are available in three sizes ? Express Letter Envelope, Express Legal Envelope, and Express Pack ? and will be available for purchase at a flat-rate price with no hidden charges at participating independent retail shipping locations. Customers may also order ShipReady products directly from DHL and review DHL's standard terms and conditions of carriage at www.dhl-usa.com.
Customers can use ShipReady products to ship door-to-door, to and from anywhere within the 48 contiguous United States. Customers can simply complete the pre-printed address label on their ShipReady package and call DHL to schedule a free pick-up, or drop off their shipment at their nearest DHL drop box, service center, or retail shipping location. Customers can visit the DHL drop-off locator at www.dhl-usa.com to locate their nearest service center, drop box, or retail shipping location.
ShipReady products have no weight restrictions, as long as the envelope or pack can be sealed safely and securely, and no expiration date, so they can be used by customers anytime.
DHL ShipReady products are guaranteed for next-day domestic delivery by 12:00 PM, and offer customers total visibility into the delivery status of their shipments via DHL's global tracking system.
