Posting arrangement for Christmas mail
The Postmaster General, Mr Luk Ping-chuen, announced today (December 3) that the latest date for posting Christmas mail for local delivery before Christmas is December 21 (Friday). Posting after this date might run the risk of not being delivered in time because of anticipated seasonal pressure of work. He advised members of the public to post as early as possible in order to avoid a last minute rush.
Special mail deliveries would be provided on Sunday, December 16 and 23. No delivery would be made during the Christmas holidays.
All the post offices would be closed during the Christmas holidays. Mail collections would be arranged during the holidays for all street posting boxes except those which are located on outlying islands and in remote areas.
"The mail collection arrangements will serve to advance the processing of letters posted during the holidays and hence improve our quality of letter service to the public." said Mr Luk.
