Mango tree addresses miss out on home deliveries

Pacific islands people who live on unnamed roads without street numbers rely on the nearest mango tree or church building to give directions for deliveries to their homes. "A home delivery service is not an option and in today's business environment having no proper address means we are not part of the network...and miss out on a lot of potential business," Tonga's Acting Minister for Public Enterprises Hon. Saia Piukala said in opening the first South Pacific Postal Business Forum, being held from January 24-26 in Nuku’alofa.
