i read it last nite. pretty interesting read.
when i can't deliver packages for our company myself, I hire couriers.. i switched our (minimal) business from Arrow to 4star a while back, and the service has been excellent. plus, Mike is the brains behind the Tour da Chicago, and the rest of the crew (Jen, Josh et al) are familiar faces at races and such. personal service, cool people, great business model.

Wow, an article that doesn't talk about crazy brakeless riders and the economic reality of messengers.
