La Poste Launches Service for Large Companies
La Poste, the French national postal services group, has launched a new service, Tem’Post, which guarantees delivery times for large companies, promising to repay between 30 per cent and 100 per cent of delivery charges in the event of delays. The service will involve the delivery of more than 8 billion objects a year and about 3bn euros in annual turnover, amounting to 30 per cent of the courier delivery market in France. La Poste is eager to retain the 3-4,000 business clients concerned, which will be increasingly important as the European courtier market is deregulated from the end of 2003.
