India Post starts centre to pack parcels MANGALORE: Want to parcel an item safely, but are not able to find suitable packing material? Fret not! Help is at hand at the parcel packing centre of the India Post that started operations at the Hampankatta post office here on Monday. Take the item that needs to be parcelled to the centre and the staff will help you pack it in cartons before shipping it safely to the intended destination. Started on a trial basis in Chennai industrial area, the India Post has set up such packing centres in Mysore and Bangalore in Karnataka circle. Apart from these centres it has one more centre in south India- in Hyderabad. It was the overwhelming response to the centre in Chennai that encouraged the department to start similar centres in southern peninsular cities. The centre gives an ideal parcel transhipment solution for small and medium industrial entrepreneurs. According to Chandrashekar Kakumanu, the senior superintendent of post offices, Mangalore division parcels getting damaged in transportation due to lack of proper packaging is a common phenomenon. "This happens because of lack of awareness on the need to properly package an item meant for transshipment. The packing centre now offers a readymade solution for anyone who wants to ship items to destinations both in India and abroad," he said. If customers approach the India Post with properly packed item for transhipment, the department will accept and deliver it to the addressee. In case, the staff feels that the items are not properly packed and could be damaged while transporting, the customers will be told to avail the services of the centre. "However, customers are not obliged to avail the service, but it is advisable for the safe delivery," he said. The India Post will also collect items from doorsteps of entrepreneurs. "The customers, who book their parcel as express parcel post - registered or speed post - will get the track and trace facility," he said and added the facility was not available for ordinary or logistical category of parcels. source:timesofindia Share and Care For Latest Updates Always visit http://satish24k.blogspot.in For Beautiful Wallpapers Always visit http://24ksatish.blogspot.in |
