USPS combining forces with DHL internationally

[Sheri Moreau]

There was an article on page A3 of the March 2, 1999 edition of the Wall
Street Journal stating that the US Postal Service has formed an alliance
with DHL to jointly offer 2-day guaranteed delivery service between 11
major U.S. cities and any address in 18 European countries, "bolstering its
international mail operations." 

A half-pound shipment would cost about US$23, significantly less than
FedEx, UPS, and DHL's current prices. Customers could track shipments by
telephone or through the postal service's Internet site.

This is potentially good news for international pupae shippers...if it
works, and if they decide to expand the service.
