It seems that from what is being spread in this industry is that since Unishippers and DHL cannot partner together anymore (DHL is leaving the US market) AND that Unishippers back solicits their own clients, that they are circling the drain so-to-speak.
We have been unable to get a statement but it is looking like unishippers is not going to be around much longer if they continue down the road of immoral business practices.
You cannot sustain a business with a partner that not going to handle your shipping and assume that if you back solicit your clients, they will stay with you. I wonder when that domain name will become available? Will it be like Jericho?
Although President Dan Lockwood said in the letter Unishippers switched because it wanted to "do more" for customers, the statement by the company president will not stop fears. He also failed to mention that the majority of their clients already have UPS accounts and therefore, unless UPS is ok with their back solicitations, Unishippers is not in a good position to place a long term bet on.
