Being the oldest way of passing messages for one person located from one place to another, the Postal System was started as early as 2000 B.C. Over the centuries, the Postal network has developed into one of the most established network worldwide. In many countries, they are still under the regulatory of the local government. It serves people from all walks of life, rich and poor, urban and rural, young and old. And now with the booming of eCommerce, between sellers and buyers who wish to buy products internationally.

Here are some Advantages of Sending BY POST

Cheap
Since most of the post offices around the world is managed by the government, the postage costs are subsidised by the government, making it very affordable to send out letters/ parcels.

Everywhere, Anywhere
With a strong network of postmen developed over the centuries, there is no place that the postman does not deliver, unlike commercial courier companies. Instead, private couriers work with the postal network should they need to deliver a package to a remote or less densely populated area. Why do they do that? It is not very cost effective to deliver just a package to Pulau Ubin or St. John’s Island. Even if private courier companies do service such remote addresses, there is a hidden cost which many are not aware. So please check for hidden costs before sending out any packages!

Are you aware that there are places that private courier cannot deliver at all? Military Base addresses are restricted premises which no way private courier personals can enter unless they wish to be prosecuted. The only way of delivering anything to a military base is by the postman.

Free Undelivered Package
There are many reasons why parcels do not get delivered - Buyers not at home, forgot to collect package from the post office, recipient moved to another address, incorrect mailing address provided. Hence these packages will be returned to the sender. Senders will need to pay for the return charges if they were to engage courier service. Good news is that the return will be free if you send out the package by postal mode.
