Cuban entrepreneur receives praise for transporting parcels across the country.

A Havana entrepreneur has received praise on social media for his work transporting packages across several provinces of the country.

Alexiuvis Álvarez Mendoza, who has promoted his business in the Facebook group “Baireros por el mundo,” found a market in the need of people to move packages, furniture, and other objects, and the lack of options to meet that demand.

The Cuban has reiterated in several publications that his services link different provinces, such as Camagüey, Granma, Havana, and the municipality of Contramaestre in Santiago de Cuba.

"I pick up and take to any province that is on the route from Havana to Baire," the entrepreneur noted in another post.

However, he warned that "everything that is taken or brought must have papers."

In the comments section, most people agreed on the importance of having this type of service, which is severely lacking in Cuban society, and that it is also provided with quality, another of the pending issues in the state sector.

Currently, Cubans suffer from a lack of options to move their belongings from one province to another.

The Cuban singer known as "Flor de Cuba" told her followers that she decided to move "definitely" from Havana to Holguín, and revealed that she did so by hiring a truck that cost her 200,000 CUP to cover about 16 hours of travel.

The young woman admitted that the truck had the seats a little dirty, but nothing that couldn't be solved by putting a blanket over them to be ready to spend many hours on top of the vehicle.

Recently, the Cuban Postal Business Group (GECC) blamed small private businesses, with which the entity has contracts, for any delays that may occur in the delivery of international shipments.

"The International Messaging and Change Company (EMCI) informs and clarifies to its customers that if when tracking the code of a shipment on the website or the APK of Correos de Cuba www.correos.cu, the last event shows the phrase 'BILLED TO MIPYME', to obtain information regarding this, you must directly contact the phone numbers of the Mipymes that provide the delivery service contracted by the originating Courier Agencies, which are responsible for distributing shipments to the recipients in Cuba," they wrote in a post shared on their Facebook profile.

This situation is exacerbated by the deep crisis currently affecting transportation in Cuba.

In last July, the Cuban government acknowledged the crisis in that sector, revealing that more than half of the provincial routes are paralyzed, as reported in a session of the Cuban Parliament.

Eduardo Rodríguez Dávila, Minister of Transport (Mitrans), indicated that by the end of April, 52% of the routes of provincial transport companies were halted, according to the official newspaper Granma.
