Tel Aviv - Post Report Question and Answers
How do you send and receive your letters and package mail? Are local postal facilities adequate?

DPO/Pouch. Amazon orders usually only take 5-10 days. - Apr 2021
We use DPO and pouch at the American embassy. DPO is fast (4-8 days) and pouch can be very slow (weeks to months). Israeli post is not that reliable (we had something "overnighted" that took 10 days) and people who live on the local economy often complain about it. - Oct 2019
DPO. Shipping time to the States was extremely fast. - Nov 2018
