Mail in Iraq

[danpeg]

Does anyone know what is the current situation with the postal system in Iraq? Are Iraqis able to send letters internationally? I saw an article about it the other day and can't find the thread.

Thanks,

Only thing I could find on Iraqi mail:

There was a thread where it was discussed how Iran shut down their mail service when they replaced their currency. Some seller was using that as a scare tactic to buy from him if it happened in Iraq.

GReat comparision .. I wonder what the motto will be : thru sand and wind and ...... I will deliver the mail .
The shortage of postmen is unbelievable per sq mile !!!.
I wonder if there are stamps available to purchase from them ???
does any one with reletives near a post office in Iraq can inform me if they have any FDC available ? If so how may I obtain them ....

I suppose this is why the nice folks at Warka bank warned customers against using the mail...
