Re: Post office
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

Re: Post office
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.

Re: Post office
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.

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

Re: Post office
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.

Re: Post office
Did you check your post via these links:
Turkey https://gonderitakip.ptt.gov.tr/
TRNC http://gonderitakip.gov.ct.tr
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.
