What is Jamaica Post?
Since October 31, 1671, Jamaica Post has served as the Jamaica franchise providing logistics solutions, mail delivery, overseas parcel services, bill payment, and the sale of postage stamps.
It was born out of the need for a postal service that facilitates communication and connection between people, due to the growing economy and population. Jamaica Post has been that company, which after a hard history of evolution, reconstruction, and tests of life, managed to become what it is today in the country, having more than five hundred points throughout Jamaica, with the mission of providing help to those who need it, adding value to its expansive network and human capital and being an important proposal for mail delivery in Jamaica.
Post offices offer commercial and postal services including bill payment, local and overseas express mail service, parcel service, and sale of postage and commemorative stamps. They are deeply committed to continuing the service provided to the nation, fulfilling their obligation in transforming Jamaica into a better country, and serve the customer with the greatest respect and solidarity possible.

Still, many Jamaicans take South Florida as Kingston 21, due to the large and high population that is found there.
