In order to expand the activities of the Azerbaijani post, negotiations are underway with the postal express services of China, South Korea and Singapore, and in the near future transit of large-sized goods purchased via e-trade platforms is expected to be carried out through Azerbaijan.
It's been two years that Azerpost has been playing the role of a regional transit post center (HUB) in e-commerce. The mailings delivered to the country were ordered on e-trade platforms of China. Azerpost deals with their processing and shipment to other countries. For this purpose, Azerpost cooperates with the company Silk Way, which has ample potential in air transportation.
