Walgreens will have the capability to ship DHL packages at all of its locations this year.

DHL and Walgreens form a strategic alliance to allow DHL to have kiosks in Walgreens to ship packages via DHL. DHL is following UPS with the UPS Store and FedEx with Kinko’s. Walgreens will have 6,500 locations by the end of the year which will offer the DHL service. The service will be provided at the photo lab where an employee will be trained to ship packages.  DHL and Walgreens piloted this project in three locations and it was successful. DHL’s CEO Hans Hickler stated “We had [small businesses] telling us ‘we want to ship with you, but we don’t know where to drop the package off.’ There were OfficeMax’s and AMPC’s (Associated Mail and <place w:st="on"><placename w:st="on">Parcel</placename> <placetype w:st="on">Centers</placetype></place>), but they were not the equivalent of a FedEx Kinko’s or a UPS Store.”   9 application/xml false DHL Parcel Supply Chain DHL, Walgreens team up for shipping service deal Logistics Management http://www.logisticsmgmt.com/article/CA6519263.html?industryid=48465 Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.8.1.11) Gecko/20071127 Firefox/2.0.0.11 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 Establish 208.105.4.154 false true false false true 187565 false false true false false false true 195361 Resource 187565 173239 173239 1201103675985 1201103675985 Controlled DHL-Walgreens Agreement

Oh great! What next?

I operate a DHL Authorized Shipping Center (AMPC), only offer shipping services with DHL, and we're right across the street from Walgreen's. We also offer commercial printing and copying, along with a few other services. When my contract ($300 per year) is set to renew in the next month or so, I will NOT renew. Why bother? Gee, thanks DHL!! 10 application/xml true Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727) 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 68.221.239.165 false true false false true 195387 Resource 187565 173239 173239 1201123988306 1201123988306 Controlled Complicated
