In its first partnership with a private firm, India Post on Tuesday said it has partnered with retail chain Fabindia, which will 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 by India Post Secretary, Ms Radhika Doraiswamy, and Fabindia Managing Director, Mr William Bissell.
