Singapore Post Limited (SingPost) and FedEx Express, a subsidiary of FedEx Corp (NYSE: FDX) and one of the world’s largest express transportation companies, are delighted to announce their collaboration through a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to initiate a trial program that allows post offices to accept FedEx parcels.
The primary objective of this MOU is to enhance operational efficiencies and elevate the customer experience by expanding drop-off options to more locations for cross-border shipments. Effective immediately, this three-month trial will offer greater convenience to FedEx customers, enabling them to drop off their parcels at POPStop counters situated within six participating post offices across the island, with no additional charges.
POPStop is a dedicated facility for eCommerce parcel-related transactions, including parcel lodgment and eCommerce returns, available at all post offices. These POPStops are manned by SingPost staff who can assist customers in sending out their parcels. SingPost will hand over FedEx parcels to FedEx daily to facilitate an efficient delivery process.
The six post offices participating in this trial are as follows:
- Punggol post office (80 Punggol Field, #B1-01, 21 Community Club, Singapore 828815)
- Raffles Place post office (Ocean Financial Centre, #B1-11, 10 Collyer Quay, Singapore 049315)
- Tampines post office (5 Tampines Central 6, #01-24/25, Telepark, Singapore 529482)
- Woodlands Central post office (900 S Woodlands Dr, #03-05/06 Civic Centre, Singapore 730900)
