HEAD POST OFFICE
Head Post Office, Kollam |
It’s been many years since I entered the Post Office. I used
to go there to buy stamps, post letters, send registered letters and sometimes
send something by speed post. I remember standing in queue for these services.
They also have other services like savings bank account, accepting payment of
phone bills, money transfer etc.
Now very few people visit the post office. Thanks to email
and SMS, people rarely buy stamps and post letters. Their speed post service
closed down recently. I think they were unable to compete with the private
courier companies. They are trying to diversify into other business. They now
have a service where they distribute advertisement leaflets in envelopes to a
target customer base. It seems they have the information regarding age,
qualification, income etc of the people residing in their area.
