I have noticed that here in Colombia the post office does NOT use zip code !

But, can someone tell me the zip code for Colombia/Medellin? Someone has o send me a package and fedex asked for a zip !

Thanks in advance,

Zoltar

Zoltar, zip codes are very new here, that's why nobody use them yet. On http://www.4-72.com.co/content/codigos-postales you can find your zip code according to your address.

I use FEDEX all the time to and from USA - Medellin.... Never have had to use a Zip code for the packages coming to Medellin..... It is strange how the rate from Colombia is 1/2 to 2/3 less going to the states with FEDEX....

Greg, I remember the first time I needed to overnite documents to Medellin I called all 3 big guys (fedex, ups, and DHL) and they were all sky high.. I think it was approx $75.- $90. for an overnite (3-4 days) letter.... I went that route for a while til I stopped in at a local pack n ship place and they said FEDEX for $45. I have used them ever since... doesnt make sense, but who knows?
