Anyone ordering serviced covers addressed to a local destination
will be able to collect them on January 22 from the office where the
order was placed. Covors addressed overseas will be sent forward by
ordinary post, surface mail, unless there are sufficient stamps to
cover airmail and/or registration charges.
In addition, first day covers will be accepted at all post
office counters on the issuing day, impressed with the normal post
office date chop and handed back to the person presenting them.
However, no time type will appear in the postmark and the
articles must bear an indication that they are "first day covers". They
must be addressed to a Local destination and must not be registered or
bear any other cancellation.
Special posting boxes will also be available at the General
Post Office, Kowloon Central Post Office and Tsim Sha Tsui Post Office
on January 21 for those who wish to have first day covers carefully
hand-postmarked before despatch.
