Thu, 11/24/2011 - 09:33 — Anonymous Hongkong Post announced today (November
24) that the last date for posting Christmas mail for local delivery before
Christmas Day will be December 22 (Thursday). Postings after this date might
run the risk of not being delivered in time because of the anticipated
seasonal work pressure. Members of the public are advised to post mail as
early as possible in order to avoid a last-minute rush. During the Christmas
holidays (i.e. December 26 and 27), there will be no mail delivery. All post
offices will be closed except the General Post Office and the Airport Post
Office. The business hours of the two offices will be from 9am to 5pm and 8am
to 5pm respectively. One mail collection will be arranged on December 27 for
all street posting boxes except those on outlying islands and in remote
areas. To ensure that greetings sent by air mail are delivered before
Christmas, members of the public are reminded to post their mail on or before
the last dates for posting as listed below: Asia Pacific Destination: Letters
