St. Petersburg - Post Report Question and Answers

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

Only through diplomatic pouch. Remember the 16 oz liquid rule and issue with lithium batteries. It takes about two to three weeks for things to arrive from the States. I have no experience using the local postal service, but would probably not recommend it if you have other options. - Apr 2017


Pouch. It takes about 2 weeks. - Feb 2016


Diplomats use DPO or the pouch, so normal restrictions apply. - Aug 2011
