International companies, including FedEx and DHL, offer express delivery services between international destinations and Nepal.  In addition, dozens of local companies offer express delivery services within Nepal.  Nepal’s inadequate road network and mountainous terrain can make “express delivery” to remote villages a challenging proposal.  In addition, street addresses can be inconsistent or non-existent, making it even harder to find delivery destinations, even in Kathmandu. Most delivery services (e.g. online shopping portals or food delivery services) end up relying on mobile phone communication to identify delivery addresses.
