Japan Post’s parcel delivery orders hit record in fy ’04

Posted by | May 24, 2005 | |

The number of parcels delivered by Japan Post under its “Yu-Pack” service grew to a record 215 million in fiscal 2004, which ended in March, backed by the public enterprise’s redoubled order-taking efforts, it was learned Tuesday.
