Bucharest - Post Report Question and Answers

The embassy has pouch and DPO. Currently it takes 3-5 weeks for outgoing mail to reach the US. Items coming from US take 3-4 weeks, but sometimes you get lucky and it comes in 10-12 days. Last summer the mail was faster. I have not used local Romanian post, nor would I, as I have no trust my item would arrive. - Jun 2023

The embassy has pouch and DPO. I've used local DHL to send an urgent piece of two-day mail and it was excellent. I have not used local Romanian post. - Mar 2019

We were fortunate to use the Diplomatic Pouch. BUT- I sent and received various packages via the Romanian Post and had little issue. Even my German friends who ordered Amazon.de products managed to get them delivered in a timely fashion. One note, I did have to actually GO to the post office a few times to pick up mail, and while it did take a while, it worked. - Feb 2014

The mail service is pretty good if slow for letters. Packages are a pain to receive so we tell people not to bother. - Dec 2008
