Post offices

In Palestine (West Bank), there are post offices in the center of the cities.

Also, there are some drop-off points for international courier services, such as DHL or Express Mail Service (EMS).

Everyone gets so pleased when they receive a postcard from Palestine.

*Although the post offices pick up EMS in some western countries, those in Palestine don’t. To send EMS parcels from Palestine, you have to bring them to an appropriate drop-off point.

However, it takes much time to be delivered because they must wait to be collected by Israel Post.

For example, it takes postcards a month to arrive from Palestine. Or, it sometimes takes EMS parcel a week to be tracked on the Israel Post website.

Airmails are delivered faster from a post office than from a post.

If urgent, it’s better to post the things from Israel. But airmail from Palestine is something super special. Your family or friends must be pleased, for sure!
