How do I track my Guinea Post parcel?
To make a successful OPG tracking package you will need to type the OPG tracking number they will provide you after they send your package. Type this number in the company's official webpage or on our website's searching bar and then press the key button or just click over the blue arrow on the right side of the bar. After this, they would allow you to see every step of the postal process with your package.
Once your package arrives at any postal office, the employees will scan the number on the label. This information will go directly to the OPG tracking system, which will show you, in real-time, the exact location of your mails and goods whenever you like. Another advantage is the possibility to see when they will arrive at their destination. You will be notified to get your package in the postal office once it arrives there.

What are OPG delivery fees?
OPG delivery fees will vary depending on three features, the weight of the package, size of the package, and the distance that the package must travel to reach its last location. Domestic shipping fees are cheaper than international fees when it comes to sending a mail or a parcel:
- For domestic shipping services:
They will charge you 2000 GNF, which is their local currency; this would be around $0.20 USD for a letter with a weight under 20 grams. If you would love to send the same letter to another country for example to any European country, they would charge you 7500 GNF that is the same as $0.77 USD.
For 1kg packages inside the national territory, they will charge you 22000 GNF that is around $2.26 USD.

It will depend of course on the country, if you want to send something to any country inside the African continent, they will charge you 122000 GNF that is around $12.57 USD, which is affordable. However, for packages going to a European country, the price point starts at 242000 GNF that is $24.93 USD.
Express OPG delivery service will be pricier, it almost doubles the base prices, but your mails and packages will arrive at their destination in half of the time.
How long does OPG take to deliver?
OPG shipping time will depend on many factors being the dominant one the distance. For national shipping services, the delivery time will be less than 24 hours in most cases. Therefore, sometimes they can be delayed by many external factors, like climate, transport availability, among others.
