The first home distribution center for packages sent from different parts of Cuba and abroad, operates in the municipality of Guantánamo under the subordination of the Guantánamo Post Office.
Located in Máximo Gómez between Emilio Giró and Carretera, the office will receive shipments for local customers and will weigh the merchandise at its facilities for subsequent delivery. The address, which can be paid before or after receipt of the shipment, will be made immediately through a dozen of the company's electric carts, for the minimum cost of ten pesos.
Postal packages of up to 20 kilograms will be received, of which only medicines remain exempt from the payment of Customs tax.
Juan Ruperto Pérez, director of the company in the Cuban Upper East, explained that this first location will become a laboratory to test the effectiveness of these centers, since the idea is to multiply them in the ten municipalities to bring the shipments that arrive to the province, guarantee speed of delivery and improve service to users.
As part of the diversification of services, he added, the means of transport are expected to guarantee, in addition to parcel services, the movement of means and/or products at the request of other institutions that hire the center's equipment park, currently in hands of self-employed in the form of postal agents.
In fact, Correos Guantánamo has already provided transportation services to legal clients in the territory, such as the transfer of supplies from the Medicine Marketing and Distribution Company to polyclinics and pharmacies, and the shipment of audio equipment and other resources, from the Provincial Directorate of Culture for the realization of the Book Fair and the Day of the Political Song.
