A short guide on Int'l Couriers in Dhaka
I'd like to share information I collected about 5 major courier services, in order to send my applications package, which might help others.
- All information were collected over phone / net on July '14.
- Rates may vary due to exchange rate fluctuation or company rate revision.
- All of them require a photocopy of NID, for identification purpose.
- All of them require 3-4 days for shipping to Canada.
- Most of them have branch offices around Dhaka city. Call them for a location near you.
