African Post Mailing has been a viable option for commercial mails since colonial times. It has remained so because it is a cost-effective and efficient way to ship cargo internationally. The main function of an African post office is to maintain an account of every individual parcel that leaves or enters the country and this information is normally displayed on the door of the facility or even on its website. This ensures that everyone knows where their parcel is at all times, regardless of where they are sending their parcel to. Most importantly, the supply chain status of the parcels being sent from one place to another is maintained in order.
As per the rules and regulations of the post office, an African registered mail must be handled with due care and respect and if that parcel fails to do so, it should be returned to the post office for further handling. As such, an African registered parcel will be routed through several check points before it is allowed entry into the country. The next level of security checks that are applied to these parcels include a scan of the signature line, a signature search and a fingerprint scan. If a parcel cannot be registered in the African country, it will be routed through the respective European country. This means that a parcel sent from Europe can be redirected to another African country while a parcel sent from another African country can end up being delivered to a European country. Alternatively, it can also be returned to the post office for further processing.
For a parcel that needs to enter the country via air freight, an African Registered Letter will be issued at the point of departure by the post office. This letter will be attached to the air freight package and needs to be presented at the customs checkpoint upon arrival. Depending on the destination, it will then be delivered to a registered mail box or a PO Box. The PO Box or registered letter box should be either at your home address or at your business location. It is important to note that if you are sending a package to another African country that you have a physical PO Box and a registered letter box at your business location.
African Registered Letters is routed through various additional security measures including vehicle tracking and an emergency call system. On the vehicle tracking part of things, vehicles are equipped with GPS technology that will enable the post office handlers to know where the parcel is at all times during the route. An emergency call system is used in the event of an accident or a medical emergency. In the case of medical emergencies, the handlers will need to make an immediate call to the relevant medical facilities for assistance.
The tracking system is relatively easy to operate and is comprised of a network of GPS vehicle tracking receivers and gateways. The PO Box and registered letter boxes can also be monitored using the same GPS technology. Once the parcel reaches its destination, it will then need to be signed for at the red cross pole at the post office. This is to indicate the parcel has been delivered successfully. Once this is done, the parcel can then be tracked via email to one’s own account. The tracking system is capable of checking the location of a parcel up to a three days after it has left the shipping dock.
Tracking numbers can also be requested by email. These numbers will be connected to a local tracking number provided by the African Post Office so that the correct location of the shipment can be determined. The tracking number is unique to each parcel and can be verified online. This is very useful when an individual needs to track a shipment that they have ordered online. This can be done easily and with minimal fuss. Payment for the services can also be made securely online.
African Private Label Suppliers will help track and monitor your shipments from the front office to the PO Box. You can request a detailed report on the shipment using one of their online forms. This will be available for download on your PC and can be used as an invoice with attachments that include the full address of the recipient. This is important for companies that offer couriers services.
African Post Shipping offers advanced tracking features for its clients who want to track their shipment. Most of these services include a shipment tab on their homepage that shows all of a company’s shipped items. The most recent shipment details are listed at the top of the list while other shipments in the last 30 days are listed further down. This advanced tracking tool also offers the option of sending out alerts to customers when their packages are on special delivery services or when a shipment is being cancelled. These features are very convenient and will prove very useful to business owners.
