Frequently asked questions
Can I send a parcel to Tiraspol (Transnistria)?
Not via standard channels. The Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic (PMR) is a de facto separate state controlled since 1992 but internationally unrecognised. Posts and courier services do not deliver there — parcels remain in Chișinău or are returned.
