The Ministry of Communications has informed the National Assembly that the Pakistan Post Office Department does not maintain any database of courier companies operating in the country.
In the ministry’s written reply submitted to the House, officials confirmed that courier and logistics companies in Pakistan are functioning without any formal regulatory oversight. There is no dedicated regulatory authority that currently exists to govern these service providers.
As a result, courier companies are independently setting delivery charges for letters and parcels based on their own pricing structures and internal policies, without any standardization or government checks.
The disclosure raises important questions about consumer protection, pricing transparency, and service standards in Pakistan’s growing logistics and courier sector.

Yes its True, I have faced some scenarios in last month, I went to TCS and Leopard and asked for them to a Parcel to Estonia a single A4 size paper of Nikkah Certificate. They give me a rate for that single piece 66gram page is around 12000/- PKR and then same day I asked rate from Pakistan Post which was 2500/- PKR.
Government should take action on them,
آپ ٹھیک فرما رہے ہیں بھائی صاحب اسکا مطلب ہے کہ ہمیں پاکستان پوسٹ سے اپنا ہر قسم کا سامان بھیجنا چاہیے ملک کا بھی فائدہ ہوگا یہی چیزیں فیس کی ہیں میں نے بھی اسی لئے اب پاکستان پوسٹ سے ہی اشیاء بھیجتا اور منگواتا ہیں خیر ہے ایک دن لیٹ ہو جائیں گی تو کوئی مسلہ نہی ہے بیرونی کمپنیاں پاکستانیوں کو لوٹ رہی ہیں اسکے لیے حکومت کو سخت ایکشن لینا ہوگا
We should c this matter on both sides of the picture. First ao all the space of courier cos is created by the incompetent n inefficient postal services . This public sector department could not carry on according to the changing environment requirements of public. Similarly the emerging couriers were not regulated by any government controlling body.
