The rise of the Internet and e-mail have perhaps curtailed the use of traditional post to send mail to locations around the world. Nevertheless, vacationers in Cura�ao who wish to write to friends and relatives back home or who need to mail important business documents can use the island's postal services.
The island has a number of main and smaller branch post offices. Use the mail services to send airmail to locations around the world by either regular postal service or a shipping service such as Federal Express. Delivery times for letters can vary, with letters to the United States taking up to two weeks to arrive, and letters to the United Kingdom and Europe taking up to three weeks.
The main post office branches in Cura�ao are located at Groot Kwartier and on either side of Willemstad in Punda and Otrobanda. Smaller branches are located in the international airport and at the World Trade Centre. A letter to North America or Europe will cost approximately NAf2.25, and a postcard will cost approximately NAf.90.
