Quality of Service for Postal Services
IMDA requires Singapore Post Ltd (SingPost) to comply with the Postal Quality of Service (QoS) standards established by IMDA. SingPost measures and submits to IMDA the performance results it achieved for the various indicators on a quarterly basis. From time to time, where feasible, the standards set are reviewed and modified to meet with the growing demand for a higher level of service to the consumers at large.
Note: IMDA suspended the Quality of Service standards for postal services from Mar to Sep 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. All Quality of Service standards were reinstated from Oct 2020 except for outgoing letters despatched.
