[Orion] Orion Digest, Vol 39, Issue 3

[Ralph Irish]

We have received packages via DHL in the past, and on one occasion, I  
called
some mail order company to tell them that I was returning the goods  
per their
'free return' policy.  The lady took my name and address, and about  
the time
I got the package repacked, the doorbell rang!  It was the DHL pickup  
guy,
and he patiently waited for the last few pieces of tape, and he  
already had
a return address label in his hand!  They must have some kind of FAX  
in the
trucks.  It had all the info, including some 'transaction number' and  
he put
it on the box, over the other sticker, asked me to sign something,  
and was
gone.  Remember, I did not contact DHL, the mail order people did,  
and that
had to take a few minutes.

It could not have been any easier, save him coming in and doing the  
packing
for me.

Now, if DHL had as many shipping points as UPS, I would be more than  
happy
to send that way, as well.

Great  CHRISTMAS  greetings to all!
