E-POST provides the opportunity of sending and receiving messages via INTERNET
E-POST provides 4 types of communication: ACCOUNT-ACCOUNT; ACCOUNT-POSTAL ADDREESS; PERSON-ACCOUNT; PERSON-POSTAL ADDRESS.
The ACCOUNT-ACCOUNT communication takes place between two account holders, meaning the electronic mailboxes. To send the message, the sender must go to the post office where his account is opened and fill in a form that the operator types in afterwards. The addressee must also go to the post office where his account is opened and request the printing of the messages received in his account against a fee. The tariff is charged according to number of words contained in the message.
Another type of communication is the one between a person, the sender, which has an account and the addressee that don’t. It’s the ACCOUNT-POSTAL ADDRESS communication. In this case, the sender does the same things as above with the only exception that the address is a postal one and the tariff charged. This communication supposes the printing of the message in the destination post office, insertion in the envelope and delivery at the postal address, and optionally, the registration and the electronic proof of delivery. In the destination post office (the closest one to the addressee’s location), prints the message, inserts it into an envelope and delivers it to the indicated address.
Another possible situation: the sender does not have an opened account, but the addressee has. In this case, the sender sends a message from an E-POST post office, by filling in a form indicating the account address of the addressee.
E-POST may be used even in the situation when neither the sender nor the addressee have an opened account. In this case, the sender must go to the E-POST office, fill in a form mentioning the addressee’s address and pay the charges for sending the message, printing, the envelope and delivery and optionally for registration and proof of delivery (AR)
E-POST is actually a hybrid mail service, aiming to meet the customers’ requirements. This service is a clear evidence of the Romanian Post’ endeavor to comply with present development conditions of the communication market
