About Emirates Post
As the name suggests, Emirates Post is UAE’s leading provider of postal and non-postal services. Often referred to as Empost, the company operates as a subsidiary of Emirates Post Holding. Though it’s history dates back to 1909 when the agency was managed by the Indian Post Office Services, in 1972 it came under the country’s Ministry of Communications. With a mission to be the leading postal and ecommerce logistics provider in the Middle East, Emirates Post is seeing a steady growth in both personal as well as business services. You can send a courier or package to domestic as well as international destination at affordable costs. These services can be availed at the postal office or through the app. With just a few clicks you can even rent a PO Box, get rates and track shipment.
