Thank you GG for this post. It's a good move by CCK although I don't see the need for price caps for such a competitive industry. As a business man I will always seek the best and fastest courier especially when transporting time sensitive documents like tenders. I am assured that the many transport companies like buses and matatus will deliver my parcels on time since they have many vehicles plying the towns in a single day than the Posta delivery vans. Setting minimum prices ensures that my cost of doing business is high, thus driving up the price of doing business, the domino effect being driving up the cost of living. If Posta cannot be competitive enough, they should wind up their business. On 20/11/2012, Grace Githaiga <ggithaiga@hotmail.com> wrote:
IN SUMMARYCCK has established Sh150 as the minimum fee chargeable by courier companies for parcels weighing under 350 grammes.The drop of the rates to below set minimum has been attributed to competition within the sector and from telecommunication operators with more efficient and faster means of communication.Those who breach the pricing requirement risk prosecution and a fine of up to Sh300,000. http://www.businessdailyafrica.com/Corporate-News/CCK-orders-courier-service...
