There are a few reasonable options when you are looking to mail a package somewhere else in the country: USPS, UPS, or FedEx.
I have seen and heard about DHL for many years and their unique way of shipping items. Basically, they pick up the item and are supposed to deliver it to a USPS Hub near you so… well it should be faster right? My guess is it’s much cheaper than using USPS itself here is why:
I recently ordered some computer parts though a well known online computer parts store. They offer free shipping or cheaper shipping if you opt for the 3-7 day service that uses DHL. Everything was going great until I looked up the tracking info letting me know that DHL is inefficient… possibly lazy. If you look at the featured picture, my item is being transported to Minnesota, where I am sure there is a USPS mail hub, but DHL decided to drive my item a crossed town in Memphis, Tennessee (the origin of my package) and drop it off at a hub.
If they are simply going to pick up the item and bring it to the post office, why not just use the USPS?
