Parcel delivery to Suriname

When looking for cheap postage to Suriname, most people want to send an item to the capital and largest city of Paramaribo on the country’s coast – the historic centre of which has been a Unesco World Heritage Site since 2002. Whilst this is easily the largest place in the country, other notable locations are Lelydorp, Brokopondo, Nieuw Nickerie, Moengo and Nieuw Amsterdam. Postcodes aren’t used in Suriname and transport links still need some work. With more than 50 airports and a host of ports and harbours with navigable waterways, it is easy to get items to the country. Inside the country it isn’t quite as easy but there is a small railway and around 1,000 miles of paved highways to drive on.
