Post communication or mail is a kind of communication which carries our regular transfer of items of mail – the written correspondence, periodicals, remittances, parcel posts.
In the post office there is a number of windows with a sign showing the operations handled. You can buy here all kinds of stamps, post cards, and envelops.
There are post offices in every town and nearly every village in the country. If you want to post an ordinary letter or a post card, you need not go to the post office; you can drop it into the nearest pillar-box. Pillar-boxes are emptied twice a day. If you want to send a telegram, you can either take it to the nearest post-office or dictate it over the telephone.
When sending a letter of special value, you should have it registered. Registered letters are not left with the ordinary mail in the letter-box, but delivered personally. The sender is given a receipt at the post office, so he can always trace the letter. Of course, there is a special charge for this service.
At the post-office we can send all kinds of telegrams: photo-telegrams, express-telegrams, ordinary and urgent telegrams. You can subscribe to different newspapers and magazines at the window ʼʼPrinted matterʼʼ. At the post office, there are also P.O. boxes. P.O. box means a post office box, it is a numbered box to which someone’s mail can be sent.
The ʼʼPost Restateʼʼ window keeps mail until called for. The post-office maintains this service for those who prefer to pick up the mail in person.
The window marked ʼʼParcel Postʼʼ handles all parcels or packages. The amount you have to pay depends on the weight of the parcel. You must not forget to insure your parcel if you have got something valuable in it. The larger post offices maintain a wrapping and packing services.
Atthe ʼʼMoney Orderʼʼ window we can send the money. If a remittance is received to our name we can get the money there. We are given a printed form to fill in. The clerk asks for our passport, checks it up with the filled printed form, returns the passport and hands us the money.
At some post-offices there is a special window where you may pay bills for your telephone, gas and electricity.
Today, besides the ordinary post service we have the express mail delivery services, such as DHL, FedEx. These services can deliver your letter or parcel during 1-3 days to any part of the world. Of course such kind of service is more expensive than ordinary post service.
And finally, with the development of new technologies a new type of mail ʼʼe-mailʼʼ has appeared. Nowadays people use it wider for personal and professional use than any other kind of service.
