The Bermuda Post Office has issued an advisory that the due date for payment of postbox rental fees has been extended to February 15.

A spokesman said the extension has been given in part because of the recent staffing disruptions.

“The advantages of renting a post box include 24 hour-a-day availability, low annual rental fees, faster delivery of mail, and protection from theft,” he said.

The annual post box rental fees are $85, $120 and $300 for small, medium and large-sized boxes respectively.

Payments can be made in cash, by cheque or by debit and credit card at any post office around the Island, as well as online at www.shop.bpo.bm

.

Any payments made from February 16 will be subject to the late penalty fee of $25, in addition to the postbox rental fee.
