They'll still do international shipments, but they couldn't cut it with UPS and FedEx.

I found it funny that the company is German, and the article talked about how it couldn't "conquer the U.S. market." :D

UPS deserves a monopoly, they have a cool brown truck. UPS for president!

I've been trying for a few minutes to load that webpage but can't bring anything else up but the title. I actually want to have something shipped to me using DHL, when are they halting? Will I be able to use their 2-day shipping service if it's shipped on Monday?

Probably.

They have already cut shipping to areas like Wyoming. (like 3 months ago)

Nooooo!!! DHL is the only one that actually delivers your packages fast!! UPS...my god...you want to talk about inefficiency and fucking slow...I find the government run USPS to be faster than UPS and that's shame since UPS is fucking expensive.
