Postal services in Durrës, Albania, are provided by both the national public operator and private courier companies, catering to a range of needs from traditional mail to modern e-commerce logistics. Residents and businesses in this major coastal city have access to multiple options, including branches of Posta Shqiptare (the state-owned Albanian Post) with several post offices (e.g., locations on Rruga Pavaresia, Rruga Ismail Beja, and Rruga Vath Turja areas), offering universal postal services such as letters, parcels, financial transactions (pensions, bill payments), and express options like Super Express Mail. Private alternatives, including Posta Ultra (also known as Ultra C.E.P or Ultra Post), operate branches in Durrës (e.g., at Rruga Hysen Kërtusha or Rruga Kasem Durresi), focusing on faster, digitized express courier and parcel deliveries nationwide.
Posta Shqiptare is the government-owned national postal service (a public limited company), serving as the universal provider with broad coverage, traditional mail handling, financial postal services, and extensive physical network for general public and official use. In contrast, Posta Ultra is a private company specializing in express courier, parcel, and logistics services, particularly tailored for online businesses and e-commerce with features like real-time tracking, door-to-door pickup/delivery (often within 24-48 hours where coverage allows), and digital tools for efficient package management—positioning itself as Albania's most digitized postal service dedicated to online sales. This makes Posta Ultra a faster, business-oriented complement to the more comprehensive but often slower public service of Posta Shqiptare.
