Can anyone tell me how long it takes mail to get to TRNC from UK. Does one have to have a postbox somewhere and pick mail up or is it delivered to one's door.



Thanks Sandra

I`m not sure about from the U.K. to T.R.N.C but vice-versa takes about 5 to 7 days thats from my own personal experience. We live in Kyrenia and don`t have our own mail box but believe you can obtain a P.Box No. from the local Post Offices.

hi sandra,



that is a good question, they say allow thee weeks...



a british-owned firm I delt with say they never received

any letters from england in seven years trading

a five star hotel in kyrenia never received a letter

I sent them from uk

however I sent a letter to one firm that arrived correctly



it is essential to put "mersin 10 turkey" at the end of the address

never "north cyprus" since that would likely send the mail to the south

perhaps others on the forum will comment about deliveries generally

and the possibilty of using poste restante or getting a mailbox

i post items all the time to nc from the uk and takes approx 2 weeks.

make sure u post it airmail it will get there 95% of the time

if u dont put airmail on it then it will go via snail mail on the boat and not get there.

plus dont post in envelopes that look like birthday cards allways put in a plain brown envelope.
