Pamela Lee-Blake (left) accepts an express mail service (EMS) package from a customer at the Liguanea Post Office in this file photo. Given the usually large volume of mail at this time of year, the postal service suggests that if it is vital to have your mail items delivered within a specific time. It's best to use one of their time-guaranteed mail products: zip mail or zip courier locally, and DHL for overseas EMS does not offer a time-guarantee for delivery, it is expected to reach addresses in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom within a week and you can track the EMS item on the Internet yourself at www.jamaicapost.gov.jm. - Photo by Gordon Brown
