Paramaribo - Post Report Question and Answers
How do you send and receive your letters and package mail? Are local postal facilities adequate?
I mail items through the embassy and diplomatic pouch. DHL and international package delivery services are available in Suriname. - Apr 2022
DPO takes about two weeks. - Feb 2020
Local postal facilities are practically non-existent. FedEx and DHL are here, but outrageously expensive. We have pouch and recently started using DPO. People here have had trouble with the DPO (because it's new?), but packages are routinely rejected or end up at some other DPO location and 'eventually' arrive. We had one family depart post before an order shipped via DPO arrived. - Jun 2017
