Val:
All GWLA libraries deliver loans to each other with a guaranteed 2nd day 
delivery so all of them would use FedEx or UPS. I doubt anyone uses DHL. The 
one library I'm aware of that did had trouble getting them to actually meet 
their 2nd day delivery promise and now uses Fedex or UPS. So talk to any of 
the GWLA ILL people.

http://gwla.org/committees/ill.html has a list of names and emails.
