Parcel delivery to Bangladesh

More than 700 rivers flow through the country and they account for almost as many kilometres as there are roads. Travelling by boat is commonplace and necessary during periods of widespread flooding. Nearly 40% of the nation’s foreign trade is conducted at ports, some of which included the £131 million of goods exported from the UK in 2014 alone. Roads and railways also account for high amounts of passenger traffic and some freight traffic. The route from Chittagong to Dhaka is the nation’s main trade route and most important corridor. Although transportation on land is not always fast, Bangladesh have come up with innovative ways to travel and incredibly efficient parcel delivery services in Bangladesh. Additionally, the government’s plan to reach middle-income level status by 2021 includes major improvements to infrastructure, trade and the development of skills and labour. Postal codes in Bangladesh are assigned according to population distribution and by postal system.
