Lome - Post Report Question and Answers
How do you send and receive your letters and package mail? Are local postal facilities adequate?
There is DHL and the local post office is sufficient. I've sent letters and packages to Canada and South Africa with no issues. - Mar 2019
Letters? Do those still exist? Packages are mostly through DPO, although we also use local postal facilities to receive DVDs and books from Amazon UK. - Feb 2019
Diplomatic post office (DPO). I used the local post office in La Caise neighborhood once a month to send letters and cards to my friends in Brazil. Cheap and decent. But you do need French or someone that speaks French to help you there. Letters to Brazil took 18 days to arrive, to the US about 9 days and 5 days to London. - Sep 2017

Via pouch. - May 2014
