In addition, the state-owned company confirmed the resumption of the expansion of the so-called “Premium Line” with the inclusion of 209 more sites in this modality. Among them, 18 will be covered by Sedex 10 (delivery by 10:00 the next day after publication) and 191 by Sedex 12 (delivery by 12:00 the next day after publication).

Examples of new destinations with reduced delivery times

According to Correios, consumer demand is taken into account when choosing the segments with the fastest delivery service. In other words, priority was given to places with the highest flow of orders.

For example, new sections that the state-owned company departing from São Paulo considers strategic include, but are not limited to:

• Itajuba (MG)
• Poços de Caldas (MG)
• Ponta Grossa (PR)
• Alegre Landing (MG)
• San Goncalo (RJ)
• Three Hearts (MG)
• Uberaba (MG)
• Natal, RN)
• Joao Pessoa (PB)

Other areas are also covered by the modality. The list also includes Recife bound for Fortaleza and El Salvador; Belo Horizonte with direction to Vitoria and Recife; Fortaleza heads for Recife; Salvador heads to Recife; Rio de Janeiro bound for Recife; Manaus bound for Sao Paulo; and Florianopolis bound for Vitoria.

The association believes that the privatization of the post office will lead to higher tariffs.

To view the snippet, run the simulation

To find out if a destination is covered by shipping via Sedex, it is suggested to run a simulation directly on the Correios website. This is due to the fact that it is necessary to take into account the address of origin of the mail. As already mentioned, some regions are covered by Sedex 10 and others only by Sedex 12. In addition, the volume of goods that will be sent must be taken into account.

Correios is recording historic profits in 2021 and wants to open the market by the end of the year.
Public hearings to discuss the possible privatization of the company will be held on March 24.
