Full Coverage
Australia Post said Monday it opened its first mobile post office and parcel lockers on the Royal Australian Air Force base in Darwin, giving military personnel access to essential mail and parcel services during a three-week multinational air combat exercise involving troops from Australia and 21 allied and partner nations, including the United States.
The dedicated Parcel Hub gives Australian and international troops access to services typically unavailable during large-scale defense exercises. The hub serves as a mini-post office with postal employees providing service.
Free 24/7 parcel lockers have also been installed on the base during Exercise Pitch Black, giving personnel greater flexibility and convenience when sending and receiving parcels.
“Australia Post has a longstanding partnership with Defence, and this first-of-its-kind portable Parcel Hub shows how we are innovating to meet the changing needs of our customers,” said Mitch Buxton, Australia Post General Manager for Network Optimization, in a news release.
“The hub is designed to operate in complex environments, and this exercise in Darwin will give us valuable insight into how we can strengthen our emergency response during natural disasters, severe weather events and other major disruptions.” Click here for more FreightWaves/American Shipper stories by Eric Kulisch.
