The Postmaster General, Mr Allan Chiang, announced today (January 5) that in collaboration with China Post, new Lunar New Year gift sets would be available under the Hong Kong/Mainland Gift Fulfilment Service until January 20, 2006.
Hongkong Post and China Post teamed up to create the Hong Kong/Mainland Gift Fulfilment Service in January, 2004, providing a convenient service for sending a range of gift sets to the Mainland including seasonal gift sets, bouquets, cakes, flower baskets and fruit baskets.
To cater to people's need to send their best wishes and gifts to relatives, friends and business partners in Hong Kong and the Mainland during this festive season, six gourmet gift sets filled with different kinds of sweets, snacks, cookies, dried seafood, preserved sausages and tea leaves are now available for customers' selection. The elegant gift sets come in polished packing boxes and are priced from $288 to $688, inclusive of delivery charges.
"These exquisite gift sets are made with a great deal of care and attention to detail," Mr Chiang said. "We constantly review the product range for customers' selection and guarantee prompt delivery to the recipient's doorstep! The Gift Fulfilment Service is a delightful way for people to send their greetings during the festive season."
Customers can now place orders to send these Lunar New Year gift sets to more than 2,000 cities on the Mainland. For orders placed on or before January 20, 2006, the products will be delivered on or before January 27. The completed order forms can be returned in person at any post office, or by fax or post. Customers may also purchase these gift sets via the Hongkong Post Internet shopping mall - "ShopThruPost" (www.shopthrupost.hk).
For further information, please call the Hongkong Post Hotline 2921 2222 or visit the ShopThruPost website at www.shopthrupost.hk.
