AREA Manager of the Guyana Post Office Corporation (GPOC) Donnette Semple is urging Guyanese to utilize the business services offered by the entity in order to keep the corporation financially viable, as it continues to deliver vital postal services. In an exclusive interview with the Guyana Chronicle, Semple said that the services offered by the GPOC include the Bill Payment service where persons can pay all utility bills.

She readily noted that the Post Office offers a complete service where they deliver the bills and receive payments on behalf of the utility and remit those payments to the company on behalf of the customers.
MONEY TRANSFER SERVICE
Additionally the GPOC offers a “Same Day Money Transfer Service” which allows persons to send and receive money to relatives and friends around Guyana. The service is fast, safe and reliable, she stated.
The “Express mail delivery” service that is being offered allows for mail to be delivered within a day to the various parts of Guyana and within hours, based on the point of postage and delivery.
She also pointed to the private letter box and the cluster letter box service being offered. The private letter box allows an individual to receive their mail in a private box at the post office at their convenience, while the cluster boxes could be set up on request at gated communities and apartment buildings, allowing each resident to have the mail delivered to a private box which can be accessed at their convenience.
She also reminded that the GPOC facilitates the payment of old age pensions in all communities. Moreover, she reminded the elderly that pensions are payable all month and as a result pensioners can visit the GPOC offices to encash their pension vouchers at their convenience.
The Area Manager said that the rates being charged by the GPOC may not be the actual cost for delivering the services they offer, and so it is important that persons support the business services to ensure that rates remain stable and the services can continue. (Raymon Cummings)
