Use the EMS service for faster domestic shipping. | Contact Pos Indonesia customer service if the delivery exceeds the service standard time for your route. |

The company serves as a universal service provider under a mandate from the Indonesian government, ensuring mail access to all 17,000+ inhabited islands. POS Indonesia is actively transforming into a digital logistics platform, partnering with e-commerce companies and developing last-mile delivery capabilities.
