A big company I used to work for sent outbound mail through some private

I frequently get mass mailings from American companies I do business

DHL or TNT or some such is owned by Deutsche Post, so I imagine they
fly all their stuff from the US to Europe in to Germany and then
distribute it.


DHL is. The items actually get Deutsche Post stamps on them!
