Annual Report
Our Pledge
We are proud to report that we fully met our performance pledges for 2008/09, and we exceeded our targets in 19 of our 24 pledged standards. One achievement worth highlighting is that we managed to deliver 99.9% of letters posted locally to recipients in Hong Kong on the next working day after posting, against a stringent target of 98%. From time to time, we review our pledges with the aim of further improving our services. For 2009/10, we have reduced to four working days the time that we pledge to take processing applications for Freepost, Business Reply Service and International Business Reply Service.
We are fully committed to achieving our performance pledges over the coming year, and thus continuing to provide the highest quality postal service for our community.
