Postal services are considered a special form of transport and distribution services that ensure transporting dispatches from one place to another and the most fundamental difference that distinguishes postal services from other distribution services is said to be the fact that postal services are based on the principle of distributing dispatches that bear an address regularly and according to a schedule within a public network.

 

Postal services cover personal letters, greeting cards, invoices, handouts and other personal communication tools. Undoubtedly, postal services play an important role in daily life in terms of ensuring communication between persons across the world.
Although new communication technologies such as internet have emerged, revenue obtained from postal services constitutes one of the fastest growing segments. Although electronic payments increase rapidly, the number of documents such as invoices that are sent to houses also increases. For example, 63% of people in the USA prefer printed invoices for their payments as of 2008. One of the important characteristics that distinguish postal services from electricity and telecommunication is that it is not possible to separate physical network from services provided over this network.

      
“General Directorate of PTT that provides service in the field of "mail", "bank" and "logistics" and is under a constant transformation offers a high quality service network with its around 4.000 workplaces that provide online service, 37.000 personnel and a fleet of 5.600 vehicles that are constantly renewed and reach every corner of our country.

It delivers collective dispatches such as invoices, insurance policies, bank extracts, greeting cards, brochures and celebration cards submitted by organizations, institutions and natural persons to postal enterprises by using PP stamp and fee payment machine by taking them from customers on electronic environment and transferring them, after data processing, to printing centers that are the closest to the destination on electronic medium in the most reliable and fast manner and after they are printed and enveloped, by delivering them to their recipients in the quickest way. Dispatches that are printed by a system that has a strong infrastructure and uses advanced technology in printing centers located in Ankara, Istanbul, İzmir, Mersin and Erzurum are delivered to their recipients in a shorter way and accurately.

 

The history of legislation on postal services in our country started by the law regulating the establishment of PTT and legislation today can only address PTT. There are deficiencies in the legislation concerning regulating and auditing existing market structure. Ministry of Transport is responsible for the industry. However, law and secondary regulation drafts concerning the industry are formed with great contributions of PTT. Since a national regulatory authority does not exist, PTT serves both as the operator and the regulator in the market. In other words, does not only PTT operate in the market but also regulates the market, where it operates, like Türk Telekom before Telecommunication Authority (new title: Information and Communication Technologies Authority) that is the independent administrative authority unique to the telecommunication industry was established.

PTT provides service from 4.112 points in total with 1.056 centers, 2.226 branches and 830 agencies as of the end of 2010. Additionally, PTT has 20 mail processing centers, 11 PTT cargo processing centers and 8516 general directorates.
