Thailand: Post office touts express service to aid e-commerce
Thailand Post is promoting its e-commerce delivery services with the “Morning to Afternoon Can Deliver, Afternoon to Next Day Can Deliver” campaign.
In keeping with the theme, parcels sent in the morning can be delivered in the afternoon and parcels sent in the afternoon can be delivered the next day, said Smorn Terdthampiboon, president of Thailand Post.
This express mail service (EMS) is an answer to the rise of e-commerce.
The post office has also extended its service hours to 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to respond to the e-commerce market that is growing steadily.
A further promotion offers a 70% discount on postal charges for customers using COD services via Wallet@Post. The cash-on-delivery discount is available for items heavier than 500 grammes and up to 10 kilogrammes, from today until the end of October.
Mrs Smorn said the post office is committed to developing services that can meet the changing needs of customers.
With the rise of e-commerce, users want to send items more quickly. Thailand Post has upgraded the quality of EMS to be faster than ever.
“Currently there are more than 8,000,000 pieces of parcels that are received by the postal system per day across 10,000 post offices nationwide,” Mrs Smorn said. “Thailand Post continues to develop the capacity to meet the demand of all groups of customers, especially for the group of e-commerce customers that is growing rapidly.”
