Dubai: Annual subscription fees for individual post office boxes have increased from Dh200 to Dh250 after the Emirates Post Group revised the rates of some of its services. It also chose to reduce the rates of parcels as part of a strategy to improve services and offer value addition to customers and offset inflation.
Announcing the revision in rates, Ebrahim Bin Karam, Chief Commercial Officer, Emirates Post Group, said, “The revision in rates was necessitated by the many improvements made to the services and also to cope with increased operating costs. Under the revised plan, the annual subscription of an individual P.O. Box has been increased from Dh200 to Dh250, with bundled value-addition of the ‘e-Shaar’ SMS notification service whenever there is incoming bar-coded mail and online access to the P.O. Box to enable the customer to view scanned images of received mail.
The new improvements to the P.O. Box service are part of EPG’s strategy to be in line with the Smart Government initiative, and provide services to the public round the clock as well as enabling them to access their P.O. Box without visiting the post office.
Emirates Post Group’s post offices are equipped with all facilities to meet the needs of individual and corporate customers. Customers can select special boxes of various sizes to pack their products and items at nominal prices to ensure safety of their parcels.
