BPG still to start controversial early post system
Belgian Post Group (BPG) is starting its new Early Post service on Friday. This new service guarantees companies that their mail will be delivered before 9 a.m. Small and medium-sized enterprise organisation Unizo is angry because the service is not free and customers have no choice because of BPG’s monopoly.
BPG says that there was no guarantee of postal deliveries before 9 a.m. Every company paying a monthly fee of 60 euros will receive an appropriate service and everyone will consequently be treated equally. The target group of the new service consists of 50,000 professionals and more than 1,000 have already subscribed to Early Post.
