FSM Postal Services undergoes construction in Kosrae, installs new boxes in Chuuk

Temporary Post Office in Kosrae State, Federated States of Micronesia

FSMIS (November 14, 2013): The FSM Postal Services expects to have a new facility in Tofol, Kosrae by summer of 2014 when construction on their service facility is all done.

At the moment, the post office is temporarily housed at Wiyac in Tafunsak Municipality. A once-a-week mail delivery service to the municipalities of Utwe and Malem has been in place since October 23, 2013 – a helpful step-up on the consumer convenience side.

Mrs. Ginger Porter Mida, Federated States of Micronesia Postmaster General, confirmed that all four post offices in the FSM have been equipped with parcel tracking capability and recommended the use of such service for quick and more secure package delivery to destinations in the United States.

In Chuuk State, keys for an additional 2000 PO Boxes have been received. The new boxes are available and ready for operation.

In general, the FSM Postal Services has been undergoing some significant facility upgrading and management revamping system-wide to strengthen its overall operation.
