We all know how terrible the postal service is in this country. Your letters and parcels usually takes weeks to arrive, and sometimes never reach their destination. The national postal service 'Inposdom' (Instituto Postal Dominicano) has taken this criticism to heart and decided to implement a postal code system throughout the country. This postal code will consist of five digits, each of which will represent a unique geographic location.
Many Internet users will also benefit from this new system, because it allows users to accurately located. This should help considerably when ordering items online. Melvin Hernandez, head of the postal code project, says: 'this new system will allow Dominicans to benefit from a modern system that is similar to the developed countries in our region'.
