High postal costs disappoint many

Posted by | Jan 10, 2007 | |

Citizens and residents are complaining about a 300 percent increase in fees for postal services, something that is unaffordable for a huge section of the population. When the new Saudi postal service was launched, many people thought prices would decrease and at the least services would dramatically improve. On the contrary, prices have increased and the quality of service has worsened leaving many people disappointed.

“Fees have now increased not only for companies but also for private individuals. Individuals have to pay SR100, families SR300 and companies between SR1,000 and SR3,000 for renting post boxes. In the past a post box was worth SR100 regardless of who the owner is,” Saad Al-Tukais, a Riyadh resident, told Al-Riyadh newspaper.

Many people complain about the miserable conditions of their post boxes and how insecure they are. “Government offices are now obliging every individual, let alone every company, to have a post box.” said Baleed ibn Ateek, another Riyadh resident.

Ateek said people have to travel long distances to post offices in order to be able to collect their post. “Those boxes are easily and commonly broken into and are totally insecure. The increase in prices is not in line with the way the quality of service is developing. The authorities need to balance prices and improve their services,” he added.
