India Post ties up with Fabindia

In its first partnership with a private firm, India Post today said it had partnered with retail chain Fabindia, which would help customers send Fabindia products to their friends across the globe.

"As a part of the joint endeavour, India post will now offer customers hassle free postal retail service, which would enable the customers to buy, pack and dispatch Fabindia products not only within India, but also to international destinations," an official statement said here.

To help the customers in booking consignments, Delhi Postal Circle staff will be deployed at this Fabindia store, it added.

The counter, located at Fabindia's flagship store at Greater Kailash in New Delhi, was jointly inaugurated here today by India Post Secretary Radhika Doraiswamy, and Fabindia Managing Director William Bissell.

India Post has a postal retail service at the Jawahar Vyapar Bhawan (Cottage Emporium), where customers can avail speed post services and registered parcel booking.

With 140 stores across 58 cities in India and four international stores, Fabindia Overseas Pvt Ltd is one of India's largest retail chain.

The post office counter at the Fabindia outlet will offer the domestic and international flat rate parcel service and EMS speed post service.
