Can anyone tell me if you still put Mersin 10 on any mail addressed here, as family want to send Christmas cards x

No need just get the post code for your area.

The address the post office gave me today is below
Lapta Post Office
99420
Mersin 10
Turkey

Well if that is what the Post Office told you why ask on here?

The chance of a card getting here for Christmas is less than zero.

We had a card in August from last Christmas.

We have told our relatives not to bother.

I have a Track 7 Trace letter stuck in Istanbul for the last 34 days.

The post here has become usless.

We received a Christmas card about 6 weeks ago which was posted early December 2018. Snail mail!

I've just received a letter via international track and signed, posted on 11th October in uk. I traced it through 3 websites, UK, Turkey and TRNC. It arrived in Girne on 2nd November and was at my local PO on 4th, on TRNC tracker it only shows as far as Girne.

I asked because I thought that Mersin10 was dropped from the address, but thank you for your reply x

I have rceived 4 parcels from uk no problem, all track and trace took about 3 wees to arrive. They all had Mersin 10 and the local post code on them. Send everything in a brown envelope or wrapping that seems to take priority. I also get a phone call from the postmaster when anything arrives that wont fit in my PO box. That is service.

I've told the family to cover all options and hope for the best. Two PO's have given me two different answers, so covering all eventualities.

I sent a parcel to a friend in TRNC today, the address they gave me had the postcode and Mersin 10 Turkey. They also told me to put their phone no on the parcel.

Has anyone had post delivered from the Lapta Post Office from we moved in February from Upper Lapta to down by the sea we have never had a letter delivered. We had them delivered before we moved any help please

They don't deliver due to 'staff shortages '
You have to go to the PO and ask.

Thanks has anyone had a UK debit card sent here by normal post ?

Yes, Nat West sent mine but Halifax would not send my wife's.

But I would not send them with the post as it is. I have a Track and Trace letter in Istanbul for the last 34 days.

I had a track and trace once that appeared to be stuck in Istanbul, but was actually in my local P.O. The T and T seemed to stop working after Istanbul. However the computer print out from our P.O (not a normal print out) showed it from Istanbul, Lefkosa, (missed out Girne) and then local P.O.

Did you check your post via these links:

I've just received another item yesterday at Esentepe , posted in UK on 16th October and received in Girne on 3rd November. That's as far as the last tracking website shows. Then it took over a week to get between Girne and Esentepe.

Just went to the post office to see if any post was there and guess what my debit card from Lloyds was there still in shock İİİİİİİİİİİİİİİ
