“WORLD POST DAY”
(OCTOBER 9TH)
.
(the mail or post is a system for physically transporting ‘documents’ + other ‘small packages’…)
(…or the ‘postcards’ / ‘letters’ / ‘parcels’ themselves…)
.
(a ‘postal service’ can be ‘private’ or ‘public’, though many ‘governments’ place ‘restrictions’ on ‘private systems’)
(since the ‘mid-19th century’, ‘national postal systems’ have generally been established as ‘government monopolies’ with a ‘fee’ on the ‘article’ prepaid)
(‘proof of payment’ is often in the form of ‘adhesive postage stamps’, but ‘postage meters’ are also used for ‘bulk mailing’)
(‘modern private postal systems’ are typically distinguished from ‘national postal agencies’ by the names “courier” or “delivery service”)
(‘postal authorities’ often have ‘functions’ other than ‘transporting letters’)
(in some countries, a ‘postal’ / ‘telegraph’ / ‘telephone’ (PTT) service oversees the ‘postal system’, in addition to ‘telephone’ and ‘telegraph” systems)
(some countries’ postal systems allow for savings accounts and handle applications for passports)
.
(the “universal postal union” (UPU) (established in ‘1874’) includes ‘192 member countries’ and sets the rules for ‘international mail exchanges’)
