There is evidence of corps of royal couriers disseminating the decrees of the Egyptian pharaohs as early as 2,400 BC and the service may greatly precede even that date. Similarly, organized systems of post houses providing swift mounted courier service seems quite ancient, although sources vary as to precisely who initiated the practice.[8] Certainly, by the time of the Persian Empire, a system of Chapar-Khaneh existed along the Royal Road. The 2nd-Century BC Mauryan and Han dynasties established similar systems in India and China. Suetonius credited Augustus with regularizing the Roman network, the Cursus Publicus. Local officials were obliged to provide couriers who would be responsible for their message's entire course. Locally maintained post houses (Latin: stationes) privately owned rest houses (Latin: mansiones) were obliged or honored to care for them along their way. Diocletian later established two parallel systems: one providing fresh horses or mules for urgent correspondence and another providing sturdy oxen for bulk shipments. Procopius, though not unbiased, records that this system remained largely intact until it was dismantled in the surviving empire by Justinian in the 6th Century. The Princely House of Thurn and Taxis family initiated regular mail service from Brussels in the 16th century, directing the Imperial Post of the Holy Roman Empire. The British Postal Museum claims that the oldest functioning post office in the world is on High Street in Sanquhar, Scotland . This post office has functioned continuously since 1712, an era in which horses and stage coaches were used to carry mail. In parts of Europe, special postal censorship offices existed[when?] to intercept and censor mail. In France, such offices were known as cabinets noirs. post office is a public facility that provides mail services, including accepting of letters and parcels, providing post office boxes, and selling postage stamps, packaging, and stationery. Post offices may also offer additional services, which vary by country.

West Toledo Branch Post Office, Toledo, Ohio, 1912 West Toledo Branch Post Office, Toledo, Ohio, 1912 Prior to the advent of postal codes and the post office, postal systems would route items to a specific post office for receipt or delivery. During the nineteenth-century in the United States, this often led to smaller communities being renamed after their post offices, particularly after the Post Office Department began requiring that post office names not be duplicated within a state.[2] As we usher into the New Year 2021, I wish our customers, staff members and their family a very Happy New Year. The year 2020 is behind us now. The year gone possibly is one of the worst for humanity. We too lost some of our colleagues to the pandemic. However, it is a matter of pride that DOP rose to the challenges the pandemic threw and won great appreciation for its work. Our financial performance in the current financial year expectedly is much below our projected targets. Though we have made good progress in the last 3 months and hope to sustain it in the next 3 months to achieve a fair share of the revenue target, we may still fall short. Our Circle has a good tradition in small savings. Using our vast network and new technology tools is key to improve our revenue under financial services which contribute to a big percentage of our revenue. Savings bring hope to the individuals and their families and hope about the future is the biggest need of the hour. Though we do not have dedicated sale force for marketing
