International Business Reply Service extended to more countries
The Postmaster General, Mr Mike Pagliari, announced today (Sunday) that the International Business Reply Service would be extended to Australia, New Zealand, Denmark and Japan as from Thursday (June 1).
The International Business Reply Service, which was first introduced on October 1, 1991, is presently available to seven countries: the United Kingdom, Singapore, France, the Netherlands, Sweden, Norway and Israel. The expanded network will certainly enhance the popularity of the service.
The service enables a sender in Hong Kong to enclose with his communication
a self-addressed reply envelope or card of a prescribed design.
The recipient of the communication in the overseas country can despatch by air mail, without paying any postage, a response to the Hong Kong sender using the envelope or card provided.
The Hong Kong Post office will charge the Hong Kong sender $8 for each item returned to him.
Further details about this service may be obtained from the Post Office Enquiry Bureau on tel 2921 2222.
