Pouch which can take 3-4 weeks, so learn to plan ahead. - Aug 2021
We are pouch only. Mail can take up to a month to get to post and it seems slower during the holidays. Our stuff seems to get banged around all the time. - Mar 2019
The local postal system isn’t bad, but for anything of import I’d use DHL or FedEx. Letters from/to the U.S. can go with TT Post. Delivery time is about two weeks to/from the East Coast. - Apr 2017

Via Embassy. TT Post Office was very well run, though. We routinely used TT's post office to send items to the US. - Oct 2012

The embassy receives mail via diplomatic pouch. You must use DHL or Fedex to get packages out of here, and it is expensive. Forget about shipping packages --just stock up on gifts and take them with you the next time you go to the states. If you use trini mail, your item will be stolen. - Nov 2009
Corporate pouch on Fridays. - Mar 2008
