MONDAY October 19, 2009 marks the beginning of national examinations for secondary school students in candidate classes. It’s not too late, however, to send them success wishes. What better way than sending them success cards?
Cards – it is said – are expressions of words that often go unspoken. “They carry simple, meaningful and encouraging words that I would not even have thought of,†says Jessica Mayanja, a mother four whose last born will be sitting Primary Leaving Examinations in November.
Success wishes come in different colours, sizes and designs. They are usually inscribed on wooden, glass, paper and cloth material and are sold at affordable prices, not only in bookshops but also in shops and on the streets.
Fees charged for posting cards to different schools within Uganda vary from courier to courier.
At Posta Uganda, charges depend on the weight of the parcel. For mail posting within Kampala city, the cheapest fee charged is usually sh600 for the lightest weight. For posts outside Kampala but within Uganda, the fee is sh900 for light weight parcels. It takes a maximum of two days for the parcel to reach its destination, that is, the addressee’s box at the Posta Uganda regional post office.
For parcels posted by DHL, the charges levied largely depend on the destination and weight of the parcel. For a school on Entebbe Road, one is charged sh3,500 for posting a single success card weighing 0 – 0.5 kg.
For schools in Entebbe, the charge is sh5,000; sh10, 000 for schools in Iganga and sh12, 000 for schools in Gulu. Fees change according to location. It takes about 12 to 14 hours for the parcel to reach its destination.
