A Havana entrepreneur has received praise on social media for his work transporting packages across various provinces of the country.
Alexiuvis Álvarez Mendoza, who has promoted his business in the Facebook group "Baireros por el mundo," identified a market in the need for people to move packages, furniture, and other items, as well as the lack of options to meet that demand.
The Cuban has reiterated in several publications that their services connect different provinces, such as Camagüey, Granma, Havana, and the municipality of Contramaestre in Santiago de Cuba.
"I pick up and transport to any province along the route from Havana to Baire," the entrepreneur noted in another post.
However, he warned that "anything that is taken out or brought in must have proper documentation."
In the comments section, most people highlighted the importance of having this type of service, which is severely lacking in Cuban society, and also emphasized the need for it to be delivered with quality, another area that remains a challenge in the state sector.
Currently, Cubans are facing a scarcity of options for transporting their belongings from one province to another.
The Cuban singer known as "Flor de Cuba" informed her followers that she decided to move "definitely" from Havana to Holguín, revealing that she hired a truck for 200,000 CUP to cover the journey, which lasted about 16 hours.
The young woman admitted that the truck had slightly dirty seats, but nothing that couldn't be fixed by putting a blanket on top to prepare for spending many hours on the vehicle.
Recently, the Cuban Postal Business Group (GECC) blamed small private businesses, with which the entity has contracts, for delays that may occur in the delivery of international shipments.
The International Messaging and Exchange Company (EMCI) informs and clarifies to its clients that if, when tracking the code of a shipment on the Correos de Cuba website or app at www.correos.cu, the last event shows the phrase "BILLED TO MIPYME," you should contact the phone numbers of the Mipymes that provide the delivery service contracted by the originating Courier Agencies for information regarding this matter. This was written in a post shared on their Facebook profile.
This situation is exacerbated by the severe crisis currently affecting transportation in Cuba.
In July, the Cuban government acknowledged the crisis in that sector, revealing that more than half of the provincial routes are currently suspended, as reported in a session of the Cuban Parliament.
Eduardo Rodríguez Dávila, the Minister of Transportation (Mitrans), indicated that by the end of April, 52% of the routes of provincial transportation companies were halted, according to the state-run newspaper Granma.
