The
Rationale
A major challenge
for the Post is to reduce the quantity of uncollected mail it handles on a
monthly basis.
Some residents
refuse to collect certain correspondence at their local Post Offices, especially
bank statements and utility bills.
The Corporation is
often blamed for non-delivery of these bills and statements.
The financial cost
of returning an uncollected item is more than the cost of delivering a normal
letter.
The object of the
project is to deliver mail to the homes of residents in rural communities where
it is practical to do so.
Other areas will
be served by clusters of Community Letter Boxes.
The
Marketer's
Perspective
"Whether your
services has been restored since the hurricanes, bills and statements addressed
to you must be collected. Utility companies rely on the Post to deliver these
items in a timely manner. To minimize this problem and to ensure that we keep
our promise to reach all households in Grenada, we have embarked on a
nation-wide rural (house to house) delivery project. We take your bills to your
door."
Elements of the Exercise
Mail carriers will
deliver mail to the homes of residents daily.
Mail carriers will
be monitored for quality of service delivery by a number of methods.
The mail carrier's
task is complete upon delivering all mail to the homes of residents.
Stamps will be
sold by licensed vendors in the community.
Existing
structures will be used as drop-off points for mail to be sorted before physical
delivery to homes.
The Mail carrier
is not expected to collect mail for posting.
Home-owners with
fierce dogs are urged to keep them tied.
Those with fenced
property may install (at their expense) receptacles, in a safe and convenient
location, to accommodate postal matter addressed to their households.
The corporation
will endeavour to provide receptacles at a reasonable (one-off) cost to
residents. Alternatively, a family may opt to rent a Private Letter Box from the
Corporation.
