A Small step for Singapore Post, a Big step for Singaporeans
Posted by: Singapore Entrepreneur In: Business in Singapore
Singapore probably has one of the most advanced post office systems in the world today. It’s efficiency is unparalleled. After all, how many post offices can claim “next day delivery” as a default. Granted, this is possible because of Singapore’s small size, but the post office actually promises delivery the following day!
It also has additional services such as paying your phone bills, remitting money (for Indonesians and Filipinos especially), and even telegraphic transfers! What’s more, they even have a logistics arm for warehousing and inventory management where you can not only store your stuff with them but they do physical inventory checks and monthly and annual inventory reports!
Amazing right? These services are great business levellers! Small entrepreneurs can operate like the big guys without having to invest so much money.
SO WHAT’S TO IMPROVE?
What I don’t understand is why the Singapore Post Office doesn’t have a service that collects outgoing mail while dropping off residents’ mail? It’s a really simple thing that can help save many from having to take a trip to the post office or having to locate a mail box. It will also save money for Singapore Post by not having to maintain so many boxes in the streets for people to drop their mail for pick-up.
