Most of the major express delivery companies like FedEx, TNT, DHL and UPS are present in Turkey and are commonly used as reliable firms.  The most affordable and often the slowest international service is government-owned PTT.  Delivery times from the United States to Turkey vary depending on the type of delivery service used.  Express delivery envelopes take three days, while normal envelope and cargo deliveries take approximately two weeks.  Companies handle customs clearance and offer door-to-door delivery.  Local courier services are reliable, fast and affordable, especially for in-country delivery. 

The most common are:
