Durban - Post Report Question and Answers

How do you send and receive your letters and package mail? Are local postal facilities adequate?

No reliable local mail services. Even locals will use private mail couriers, such as DHL to send/receive mail. We have access to the diplomatic pouch for receiving packing and sending mail; it can take a couple weeks, but it gets here. - Sep 2024


Mostly by pouch from the U.S. The South African Postal service is not bad but can be expensive for shipping parcels. - Sep 2010
