They offers many services including automated package collection stations. Mailboxes are placed across town and a red dot found on some of them signifies a more regular collection interval.

Mail delivery is available from several companies that offer their services to businesses large and small, hence some letters such as bank statements or utility bills may be delivered by them.

Packages handed over at a post office are delivered by their subsidiary DHL. Alternative operators include Hermes, UPS, GLS and others.
