Post Office Now Offers Flexible Rental Periods
The Bermuda Post Office can now offer customers flexible rental periods — 6, 12 and 24 months — at any time during the year.
A government spokesperson said, “The Bermuda Post Office [BPO] is pleased to announce that, with the introduction of their new point of sale system, they can now offer customers flexible rental periods [6, 12 and 24 months] at any time during the year, effective January 1st, 2020.
“The BPO has eight convenient locations across the island offering PO Boxes in small, medium and large sizes. Advantages to renting a PO Box include:
- 1] Affordable price
- 2] Secure and 24 hour accessibility
- 3] Faster delivery of mail
- 4] Privacy
- 5] Convenient and permanent mailing address.
“There is a $25.00 application fee charged upfront for a new PO Box rental, to cover the cost of lock changes and replacement keys at the termination of a customer’s rental.
“No further fees are due on termination of PO Box rental. Renewal of a PO Box rental remains cheaper than most BPO competitors offering similar services. The new fees are as follows:
- Small: 6 months, $50.00; 12 months, $85.00; 24 months, $150.00;
- Medium: 6 months, $75.00; 12 months $120.00; 24 months, $220.00;
- Large: 6 months, $175.00; 12 months, $300.00; 24 months, $575.00.
“Two keys will be supplied at the start of the PO Box rental. The charge for additional or replacement keys is $3.00 per key. Replacement locks are $25.00, if required during the rental period.
“For more information, members of the public are encouraged to call 297-7955.”
Wow, cutting edge stuff there.
Do you think the government can work on creating online fillable forms next?
Or maybe teaching the folks in Social Insurance how to retrieve their voice mails and use the phone to respond to queries?
