sendind mail to Africa

[Dorah 6]

Hi there,

Hope all you guys are doing great,We i'd like some information from you guys about how you send mail to your loved ones in Africa.

My fiance wants to mail me all the necessary documents to take with me at the interview but i have no proper address,he wants to send it through DHL or FEDEX.

However my greatest concern is that i live in an area where we have no landmarks or plot numbers.So heres my question,How did you address your mail when sending it to Africa?

I really can't afford to loose those documents.

Thanks for your input

Pick up from the DHL offices, with photo ID & other details to confirm that you are indeed the recipient - e.g quoting sender's name, address, port of origin, etc. Good luck.

I always sent it to my husband's work.

@Dorah28,

Have him write your name(s) on the package as they appear on any of you valid ID(s) and your phone number should be included.

He should get you the Airway Bill (tracking) Number after he mails the package !

You'll be contacted by DHL K'la from this number (which i suggest you note down) +256 (0)312 210 006 when the package arrives and is ready for pick up !

You can as well track it online and contact them via that same phone number as it might take them a while to contact you depending on the volume of packages ahead of yours !

Note: you'll need your ID and the Airway Bill number to pick up your package.

Hope this helps, good luck.
