  • Universal Postal Service in Major Economies by Don Soifer
    Universal Postal Service in Major Economies By Don Soifer Updated June 2015 Executive Summary “We’re operating in a dynamic, digital world where community expectations and customer behavior are changing rapidly,” Australia Post’s CEO Ahmed Fahour observed in a noteworthy speech in August 2014. “Simply continuing to do what we have done in the past will not allow us to be a community service in the future.” Such sweeping determinations would have seemed somewhat fantastical within postal or mailing communities fifty years ago, but today they represent sentiments that are quite common among the leadership of national postal operators around the world. Faced with a changing global marketplace with new technologies and enhanced world-wide connectivity, postal operators are adapting their business models. Where this often uneven evolution has been successful, it is characterized by three primary strategies: 1) liberalization, 2) diversification of revenue sources and 3) rethinking universal service requirements. These three best practices have allowed the world’s largest national posts to remain both relevant and fiscally solvent despite declining service demands and global economic recession. Declining mail volume, independent of economic growth, has driven changes in business models. Mail volumes have dropped at an annual rate of 5 percent since achieving their peak in 2007.1 The United States Postal Service has observed a 38 percent reduction in single-piece first class mail, its highest-profit offering, over the past five years2, forcing lawmakers and the Service’s management to reconsider its business plans and look at universal service obligations from a different perspective. This report outlines major dynamics and strategies characterizing universal service across the world’s largest postal markets, comprising 96 percent of global postal revenues, and 70 percent of domestic mail volume, with an emphasis on how they can be expected to impact consumers.

  • El Régimen Especial De Envíos Postales Internacionales Aplicables Por El Operador Correo Argentino
    El régimen especial de envíos postales internacionales aplicables por el operador Correo Argentino. (Primera parte) Vázquez, Juan Carlos (*) I. Introducción El régimen de envíos postales es uno de los regímenes especiales de importación o exportación regulados por el Código Aduanero en la Sección VI, Capítulo octavo. Por el mismo, se ha pretendido facilitar y simplificar la introducción y extracción de mercaderías que se remiten como envíos postales, tengan o no finalidad comercial. Las razones que justifican este tratamiento, originariamente, se motivaban en las dimensiones reducidas de los envíos, su gran cantidad y el hecho de que las administraciones del servicio postal estaban a cargo de una administración o autoridad pública (1) que monopolizaba la prestación del servicio de correos; por lo tanto, los envíos se realizaban con la intervención de las administraciones de correos en el país remitente y en el país receptor. Más tarde, aquella monopolización del servicio de correos se modificó como consecuencia de la aparición y desarrollo del correo privado que, paralelamente al correo público o estatal, comenzó a desarrollar actividades de admisión, clasificación, transporte, distribución y entrega de correspondencia, cartas, postales y encomiendas dentro de su propio país o hacia el exterior —esto último a través de sus flotas de aviones destinados al transporte postal (2). Frente a esta realidad, ya no era necesariamente requerible —en el caso de correo privado— la intervención de una administración o autoridad pública de correos en

  • Be Careful Before Using Certified Mail to Send a Legal Notice
    Be Careful Before Using Certified Mail to Send a Legal Notice The Minnesota Supreme Court has ruled that “in the absence of custom, statute or estoppel, when notice is allowed to be served by mail, service is not effective until the notice comes into the hands of the one to be served but where a statute specifies that a person shall be notified by particular means, such as certified or registered mail, notice is effective when deposited in the mails.”1 “Into the hands” of the recipient means actually in his palm or in his possession, such as in his own mailbox. Certified mail must be signed for. If the recipient is home when the mail carrier comes, he signs for the mail and gets it into his hands right then. However, if he is not home, then the mailpiece goes back to the post office and the recipient doesn't receive it until he makes an effort to go to the post office or arranges for redelivery at home. This can take several days. In contrast, non-certified mail goes into the mailbox whether or not the recipient is home. In short, unless the statute or rule in question requires certified mail, do not use certified mail unless you are willing to accept the risk that its receipt will be delayed. If the statute or rule in question does require certified mail, then use it and service will be good when it is mailed. How to Get Proof of Delivery Without Using Certified Mail If you want proof of delivery without requiring the recipient to sign for the item, use USPS Tracking.
