In what would appear to be a new stage in a long-promised roll-out of Qatar’s home delivery mail system, Qatar Postal Services Co. (Q-Post) has agreed to serve 5,000 residents in some residential developments in Ain Khalid, Mushaireb, West Bay, Al Waab, Al Rayyan and the Pearl-Qatar with their own PO boxes.

Q-Post signed a five-year deal with Al Asmakh Real Estate Development Co. for the service, although it does not say when this will service will start. Q-Post said in November it would start offering this service gradually on the Pearl.
