International express mail growth spurred by Kahala Posts Group
An international alliance of eight national postal administrations is marking the two-year anniversary of its date-certain, guaranteed international Express Mail Service (EMS) by expanding to new member countries and paving the way to launch new products.
Kahala Posts Group (KPG), a collaborative network of the postal administrations of Australia, China, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Spain, the United Kingdom and the United States, accounts for almost half of the world’s total EMS traffic. With delivery to more than 261 million addresses, 8 billion post code combinations and service available at more than 142,000 retail locations, KPG provides a powerful network and consistently high delivery standards.
At its annual meeting today in San Francisco, KPG reported growth of more than 40 percent in volume for its date-certain, guaranteed EMS service since inception of the alliance.
KPG members integrated their operational and information technology networks to provide date-certain international EMS beginning in July 2005. Backed by a guarantee and reliability on par with private couriers, the product has helped national posts regain share in the international package marketplace, and has proven especially popular with small to medium business sector customers.
