Qatar Post launching “Connected” e-commerce delivery service

Qatar Post has launched a new online shopping delivery service called Connected which allows Qatar-based customers to shop online from overseas websites and arrange for their purchases to be delivered either to their homes, Q-Post parcel lockers or selected Qatar Post branches.  

Meanwhile, local sources report that Qatar Post has plans to test out the use of drones for parcel delivery.

The Peninsula, a Qatar-based newspaper, quoted Faleh Al Naemi, Qatar Post’s Chairman and Managing Director, as saying: “We will be using drones for parcel delivery. This is an important project in the pipeline. We will conduct trials in partnership with the authorities concerned to see how we can utilize this service.”
