Japan Post to Allow Mail Pickup at Convenience Stores
Japan Post said Wednesday it will start a service to allow recipients of mail and parcels to pick up these items at convenience stores operated by am/pm Japan Co.
The service will become available from Aug. 20, allowing registered users to collect around the clock mail and parcels delivered during their absence at some 30 am/pm Japan outlets in Tokyo.
Users can pick up their items at special boxes to be installed at the convenience stores for a fee of 100 yen per use. Recipients should be identified by credit cards and code numbers.
The public postal service corporation has been offering the service on an experimental basis in Tokyo and Yokohama since March 2003.
