Parcel delivery to Djibouti

Located on the Afar Triple Junction – the meeting point for three of the earth’s tectonic plates – Djibouti is in an advantageous location. Although it is bordered by Eritrea, Ethiopia and Somalia, its coast has access to some of the busiest sea routes in the world, including lanes to the Indian Ocean. The country’s accessibility also makes for efficient and cheap parcel delivery to Djibouti. Direct flights from London to the international airport in the capital of Djibouti City are 10 hours. Nearly three-fourths of its estimated 828,324 people live in Djibouti City. Transportation in the city and on the outskirts is underdeveloped. However, in hopes of becoming a middle-income country by 2035, the government is focusing on developing its transportation infrastructure. Major projects and increased tourism are also creating more opportunities for UK businesses, which will be able to tap Djibouti’s far-reaching markets.

Djibouti’s free trade policies and strategic location along the Red Sea, have contributed greatly to the country’s economic growth. However, the country has very few resources and little industry and, as a result, must rely on foreign assistance. Aid in recent years has given way to drastic plans to improve infrastructure, which will make it easier and cheaper to send a parcel to Djibouti. Currently, My Parcel Delivery is one of the trusted companies that provide fast and cheap courier services to Djibouti. The MPD International Drop-off service starts from just £29.63 including VAT for three to five day delivery. Parcels can also be collected and delivered within two days for £36.82 including VAT using the MPD International Export service. [Prices correct as of 27/08/2015]
