Vilnius - Post Report Question and Answers

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

I use the Embassy post. The local post is so unreliable; if you try to order a package to the Embassy, the local postage companies will give up and return the package to the sender. You also must pay your phone bill by cash at the post office, which I think is crazy in this century. - Aug 2023


DPO. - Dec 2022


DPO through the embassy. - Feb 2021


Through DPO mail and pouch. - Sep 2020


DPO, fast. - Oct 2019


DPO. I haven't used the local postal service but it should be fine. - Mar 2017


Local post is reliable for those without DPO privileges. If you've used diplomatic pouch but not DPO before, keep in mind that Amazon doesn't ship pantry boxes to the DPO addresses, so ordering groceries from Amazon doesn't work well. - Mar 2017


DPO. - Aug 2015


DPO, usually 2-3 weeks. You can also use the local mail system. Outbound seems to work ok, but receiving from the USA tends to involve disappointment and missing mail. - Jun 2013


DPO or pouch. - Feb 2011


APO and pouch. - May 2009


APO mail comes from the Helsinki APO, but it is soon to be a DPO. Unsure at this time if Vilnius will get their own DPO. Pouch is also available. - Nov 2008
