Afghan Post

Afghan Post is the national mail and courier organization of Afghanistan with its headquarters in Kabul.

In the late 1970s, it had grown into one of the stronger regional postal services, able to send and receive letters from anywhere in the world.

Sending a letter usually meant having to find someone traveling in the direction of the recipient willing to carry a note and hoping for the best.

It gradually began to develop in the mid 2000s during the presidency of Hamid Karzai, especially on mail and parcel delivery.

Under director Ahmad Wahid Wais from 2017 to 2021, Afghan Post expanded its activities on freight, e-commerce and providing data services to government agencies.
