In Dubai, each person rents a post box at the post office. Mail is delivered to the postbox. The owner has to collect his mail from the post box.
This appears to be a common system in the UK. People visit the post office to collect their mail.
In Singapore, we are used to mail being delivered to our residential address.
People in the UK do not visit the post office to collect mail. We have a system called Royal Mail which has been going years and we have our mail delivered to our door. Only businesses tend to use POBOX addresses.
