Kuwait Post to Start Delivery Soon

trump text wall warning:::: yes and no i guess ? post offices still active and they do receive. i went there on thursday and the situation seems to have improved but still unknown. there were about 5 employees on the counters and an additional kuwaiti man organizing the situation and answering disdain people questions. from what i caught it seems they still dont know what are they going to do in the future but they will revamp the post offices in all regions or even cancel them altogether. almesayel post is indeed in coop and carries k-post logos but the employees have “sail shipping” inside the warehouse. many people asking why their area post office is here when it used to be the local office. honestly the answers wasnt satisfactory and i was not in the mood to strike up a convo to review national postal situation. he did say this is a sort and dispatch center, i even saw big trucks on the side door unloading sacks of parcels. they do seem to have taken over other post offices but not all of them ? there is some mistakes that need to be addressed as some would say their area post sent them here for their mail and man would say they are mistaken its sent there. but they do have a these tower shelves with packages for people to come and receive mine was there for 2 weeks and i wasn’t informed cause they probably missed my phone number on the package and they didnt bother send it to home address or local post office. i only found out after reading this article and looking it up, finding MoC tracker is back online (it used to give 404 on purpose). it showed me it was in almasayel confirming the situation as you described.

fwitw here is my experience; the area is pretty desolate as its relatively new housing and the coop was empty midnoon. the side where the post office is has alot of parkings but i only founf 2 spots att he very back thats empty, you can use the rest of very empty coop parkings if you wish and dont mind a little walk. first thing youll notice that working hours on the door are from 8 am till 9 pm ! the guy above reiterates that multiple times so people can come back at less crowded time. you probably could even come at 7:30. there was number machine and they were calling it by shouting, but they should have linked display installed by today according to him. the area is cool and there was a separate extra seating area so the crowd wasnt bad at all. i had about 60 in front of me but they got through them in about 30 minutes? wasnt keeping exact time. itll depend on what packages are handled anyway. reception couldn’t locate my parcel so they asked me to go inside to check with them (a glass door separates the warehouse from reciption, are 2 meters away). he tyoed my tracking and found which box they were storing in it and gave it to me. went back to reception and scanned it..thats it. there was no 250 fils fee that was imposed couple days prior. the 500 fils fir delivery to home still stands though(some people do say it takes couple days, site says its free if they are late by 4 hours from agreed time lol)

some other guy inside talked about how this was hectic and chaotic because of the sheer number of post sacks (~400 mails each by their estimate) and how they had to dish out thousands of these and sort them and hand them etc. apparently the decision to start this venture was very sudden and MoC wouldnt allow it to be postponed one day after eid. it was either after eid or after eid. typical q8 gov foresight and planning.
——————-TLDR; situation should be better than complaints on first days, if you dont want to deal with crowds come night time or register on website for 500 fils delivery. however, the future of kuwait post offices is not clear 🙁
