Dell altering delivery system for consumers' computers
Via The Austin Business Journal.
Round Rock-based Dell plans to ship many of its computers to U.S. post offices for customer pickup, instead of straight to buyers' homes, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported Wednesday. Sandy Springs, Ga.-based United Parcel Service Inc. now is the main deliverer of Dell computers.
The world's largest computer manufacturer is uncertain how many shipments will be affected, Dell spokesman Andy North says.
UPS will continue to handle Dell computer shipments to businesses and some residential customers, North says.
"We have had a long-standing relationship with UPS. That's not going to change," he tells the Journal-Constitution.
The U.S. Postal Service plans to expand beyond Dell with the new service, called Hold For Pickup, by providing it to other shippers, the newspaper says.
