Emirates Post has announced that registered mail will carry barcode instead of postage stamps, starting from September 1, to automate and speed up registered mail. During a one-month trial period, customers will have the option of using stamps or barcode, provided they pay extra for the stamps. However, from October 1, barcodes will be compulsory on all registered mail. “The barcoding of local and international registered mail is another step towards automation and upgrading of postal services,” said Abdullah Al Daboos, Director General of Emirates Post.

DUBAI — Emirates Post is engaged in the construction of new post office buildings and customised buildings worth more than Dh190 million for its expanding business activities in the UAE. The new post offices with modern design and facilities will help Emirates Post use technology more efficiently to adopt global best practices in postal operations, said a top official of Emirates Post.

Emirates Post has begun work on a Dh100 million postal operations hub next to the existing mail sorting centre at Ramoul, adjacent to the Dubai International Airport. The building, scheduled for completion in June 2007, will house a highly advanced mail sorting facility, direct marketing, postal training and courier operations. The tallest structure currently being developed by Emirates Post is the Al Wahda Post Office Project in Sharjah. The Dh22 million project, due for completion by June 2007, has 10 floors.
