The centre would deliver the parcels received from 11 post offices by a dedicated post man. The postman of the NDC would reach the customer’s door step by two-wheeler on the same day. Effective delivery of parcels is one of the biggest challenges faced by the Department of Posts. The increased volume of parcels needs a change in the manner parcels are delivered.
This new centre is equipped with the required operational and technical equipment to meet the future target of ‘same day delivery’ and ‘same day update concept’.
Customers are advised to mention their telephone numbers so that the parcels can be delivered quickly, the officials said.
