The post office is used as a mechanism of communication and transportation of all sorts of information to, from, and within the country.” Services of the Grenada Postal Corporation include: Ordinary Mail, Express Mail, Registered Mail, Direct Mail, Bulk Mail, Postage Stamps, Postal and Money Orders, Photocopy and Fax Services, Internet Access at some locations, Mail Forwarding, and Rural Delivery.
