Postmaster General Luis D. Carlos of the Philippine Postal Corporation (PHLPost) opened its first Drive-Thru Post Office in Davao City, which is also the first in the country.
Davao City Central Post Office is situated in the heart of the city, where traffic congestion and limited parking have been ongoing challenges.
Postmaster General Carlos said that they support Davao City’s broader efforts to enhance urban mobility and ensure smoother traffic operations in busy areas.
He added, “This represents a forward-thinking approach for postal service delivery, offering a more accessible and client-friendly solution while maintaining compliance with traffic regulations”.
The Drive-Thru service is an Innovative post office experience and modern approach to traditional postal services, enhancing the overall client experience in sending or receiving domestic or international registered and express mails in one quick stop.
The idea of establishing a drive-thru post office at the Davao City Central Post Office was inspired in compliance with the City Ordinance No. 0334-12, Series of 2012, also known as the Comprehensive Transport & Traffic Code of Davao City which focuses on regulating traffic flow in high-density areas.
The Davao City Drive-Thru Post Office is set to transform how people conduct postal transactions, offering a more accessible and time-efficient option for the convenience of the mailing public.
“The project is in line with the city’s goal to improve vehicular flow and alleviate traffic around the post office by minimizing the time vehicles spend in one location”, Eastern Mindanao Postal Area Director Rose Tubal said.
PHLPost will provide a designated area where postal patrons can briefly park their vehicles to efficiently complete their transactions. The said service ensures that the clients' needs are met while it contributes to the city's transportation and traffic management goals.
The drive-thru service ensures quick transactions, limited to five to eight minutes, reducing waiting time. The motoring public can also phone-in their transaction before going to the Post Office to pick up their parcels at its hotline Tel. No. 224-2961.
