Posted by | Dec 1, 2004 | |

DHL has announced that it will add thousands of new drop boxes to its network beginning in December as part of a program expected to bring the total number of DHL drop box locations in the U.S. to more than 32,000 by year-end 2005.

DHL’s drop box investment program involves the replacement of the company’s 16,000 existing U.S. drop boxes with newly constructed drop boxes characterized by a unique contour, user friendly design, and the distinctive DHL yellow and red colors. In the second phase, DHL expects to rebrand an additional 6,000 drop boxes which will be deployed to new locations in order to better meet the needs of DHL’s growing customer base. These initial phases of the program are slated for completion by April of 2005. Finally, beginning early in 2005, the company plans to introduce an additional 10,000 new drop boxes to the U.S. network.

DHL founder pleads ignorance in sworn testimony

Posted by | Nov 28, 2004 | |

William Armsted Robinson founded Document Handling Limited, one of the nation’s first courier services, and sold it for USD57 million last year. Competitors United Parcel Service and Federal Express, which fought the sale, wanted Robinson to testify that he was merely a financial front for the minority owner, Germany’s Deutsche Post. The US Department of Transportation eventually ruled against their claim and allowed the sale. In a transcript of his sworn confidential deposition, obtained by The Associated Press, Robinson said he had no idea how he came up with his USD60 million asking price for the company. But when he was offered $37 million, he said he responded, “Just forget it, we’re going fishing.” He testified he disregarded a financial analysis that valued the company at up to USD118 million _ more than double its ultimate sale price. And Robinson couldn’t explain why he was paid USD51 million for his 55 percent share of the company, while Deutsche Post was paid USD6 million for the remaining 45 percent.
