The face of the Post Office today has changed drastically and one needs to remember that it is a publicly owned organisation before understanding why the queues have become so long over the last few years.
It is a fact that the queues continue to grow to get served at the Post Office, I not sure about you but the last time that I visited during lunch time to collect an urgent parcel for one of our customers, I was in the queue for at least 20 minutes and that is time that I will never get back!
The reason for the line-up is that the Post Office is simply continuing to offer more and more services and products that people can utilise / purchase in their stores. This is because they have chosen to opt for a franchise model of expansion effectively creating a unique relationship comprised of both public and private members.
To support the best use of public infrastructure which the postal outlets are they are forced to take up public services such as taking passport photos and to supplement the franchisee’s income in a declining letter market they have turned to offering retail items in their stores, I am sure it won’t be long before you will be able to buy a surfboard at the Post Office!
So from a business perspective, it simply does not make sense to keep sending staff down to the Post Office to collect your mail as it is likely that they will get caught up in these ever growing queues when you receive a parcel that does not fit in your PO Box or they have to purchase Post Office stationary such as Express Post Satchels.
Everyday Mail provides a price effective service designed to keep your staff out of the post office which not only saves your business money but also helps to avoid a whole range of other issues and business risks that may not immediately be apparent that you can read about by clicking here.
