EXPRESS DELIVERY

Extent of Sendee
The express delivery service provides for delivery of postal articles posted in
Jamaica for delivery in the island by special messenger immediately after they
are received at the office of destination.
Express articles are forwarded from the office of origin to the office of des­
tination in the same mails as ordinary correspondence and therefore the time
taken for transmission between offices is not reduced.

The service at present only extends to articles addressed to persons residing in
the delivery areas of the following Post Offices:—
All offices in the Corporate Area of Kingston and St. Andrew
Falmouth
Linstead
Mandeville
May Pen
Montego Bay
Morant Bay
Old Harbour
Port Antonio
Port Maria
St. Ann’s Bay
Savanna-la-Mar
Spanish Town

but articles addressed to anyone in these areas may be posted at any Post Office
*n Jamaica.
