Delivery by Christmas Day? Go Guaranteed!

'Tis the season of good cheer, and to ensure that you stand a good chance of having your Christmas day message or gift being delivered before the special day, post it before it's really too late.

Note that the postal service is used to getting this 'mad rush', and has put plans in place to accommodate the expected surge in mail, but unless you send it by a time-guaranteed mail service it is possible that it may not reach in time. Want to ensure that it reaches? Then go with the expedited mail services that provide a delivery deadline: guaranteed! Locally: use Zip Mail or Zip Courier. For overseas items, send via DHL, our corporate partner.

Express Mail Service (EMS), which is offered through a bilateral agreement with other postal administrations, does not offer a time-guarantee for delivery but is expected to reach addresses in the USA , Canada and the United Kingdom within a week. You can track the EMS item on the Internet yourself at www.jamaicapost.gov.jm !
