Emirates Post has gone a step further to make life easy for expatriates from the subcontinent. As part of its summer promotion it is offering a 15 per cent discount on parcels bound for five countries in South Asia. The promotion will run from June 1 to July 31.
The discount is applicable to parcels sent from the UAE to India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Afghanistan during the 61-day period. They can be sent from Emirates Post's 72 post offices and 208 postal agencies in the UAE.
Launching the promotion, Abdullah Al Daboos, Director General of Emirates Post, said yesterday: "For many of our customers, sending parcels to South Asia and the Indian subcontinent through Emirates Post has always been a highly cost-effective way of dispatching gifts to near and dear ones back home.
"Now we have made it even more attractive by announcing a 15 per cent rebate on parcels for a two-month period. It is a promotion that will appeal strongly to our customers from whom sending parcels home is an act of love."
According to him, the demand on postal services between the UAE and south Asia increases dramatically in summer and the number of bookings for the parcel service is substantially higher."We are delighted to launch this summer promotion to reward our customers who have strongly patronised our parcel service over the years.
"It has been our endeavour to enhance our product with value additions at regular intervals. "The innovations we have introduced reflect our strong resolve to upgrade our standard of service and retain customer loyalty.
"We are confident the discounted rates will spread joy and cheer among senders as well as recipients." The launch of the promotion yesterday received a touch of glamour with the attendance of stars from south Indian showbiz, Mumtaz, Abbas, Reema Sen and Shaam.
The film stars are in Dubai to take part in a charity event Tamil Mega Show for the cause of the Producers Association in India. It is sponsored by Emirates Post. The show will be held today at Al Ahli stadium, Dubai.
Driven by the need to offer the best facilities and ensure quality civic services, Emirates Post has recently introduced four Customer Services Centres in Duabi. All the centres offer virtually the same range of services. These include waste removal, providing garbage bags, receiving complaints and providing tankers to drain sewage.
