Breathing heavily.
No, they can't use the UP from UPS or the Fed from FedEx. Trademark issues.
The new company is just called SEx.
It might come tomorrow. Sometime between 8 and 5
If FedEx is short for Federal Express, and UPS is short for United Postal Service
Does anyone know what DHL is short for?
My best guess is Dyslexic Letter Handlers!
It's a German company, so the first word is probably Deutsch(land) - the rest I have no idea.
NOPE. Wikipedia article starts with:
DHL (originally named after founders Dalsey, Hillblom and Lynn) is a multinational logistics company, founded in the United States and headquartered in Bonn, Germany.
On a side note, back in the early 2000s, DHL managed to lose an entire 70 pound large screen CRT computer monitor being shipped to me. It made it all the way to their local distribution center, and then just... disappeared. To this day I'm convinced an employee stole it. The company I ordered from had to ship a second one out.
"Did (you) Hear Laurel (or Yanni)?"
Their retail branch will be Ex-S
Those entering the location will then be INXS.
