Christmas postal service arrangements
The acting Postmaster General, Mr P C Luk, announced today (Friday) that the latest date for posting Christmas mail for local delivery before Christmas is Friday, December 20.
"Postings after this date might run the risk of not being delivered in time because of anticipated seasonal pressure of work," he said.
He advised members of the public to post as early as possible to avoid a last minute rush.
Mr Luk also said that a special mail delivery would be provided on Sunday, December 22 and Thursday, December 26. No delivery would be made on Christmas Day and New Year's Day.
All post offices will be closed during the Christmas and New Year holidays. However, one mail collection will be arranged for all street posting boxes except those on outlying islands and in remote areas. The time of collection is shown on the time- plate of cach posting box.
"This arrangement will serve to advance the processing of letters posted during the holidays and hence improve our quality of letter service to the public." said Mr Luk.
