Port Moresby - Post Report Question and Answers
How do you send and receive your letters and package mail? Are local postal facilities adequate?
There is a local postal system and we’ve mailed a couple of postcards. Usually we ask folks who are traveling to the U.S. or Australia to hand-carry items that need mailing. Otherwise we bring them in our suitcases when we go on R&R. U.S. embassy direct hires receive mail periodically (usually once a week, often takes a month for mail to arrive) through the unclassified pouch system. FedEx has a station at the airport and DHL has a service in town. - Aug 2025

Your employer's local PO Box, or arrange to have your financial papers/bank statements, etc., sent to you via TNT or DHL once a month to your work's street address in Port Moresby. They can also clear any unaccompanied luggage you send, or things you order from Australia by internet. - Jun 2008
