You won't believe this. I had my msn messenger on and first thing my chineese friend tells me that she sent away my goods which I ordered a couple of weeks ago. She also sent me a copy of the invoice and what do I see? At the end of the address, it said "Mersin 10, North Cyprus, Turkey". Did I not tell her to write the address exactly as I sent her which did not include "North Cyprus"? She could not understand why all the fuss, she only wanted to help and put in the extra details!!

ctd.

initial shock it became apparent that the parcels were actually delivered to the post office and they were sent by EMS. Apparently the Chineese Post Office were using the services of TNT cargo planes. I did not care how the chineese Post Office sent the parcels to Turkey as long as it was the official post office service and not by private couriers. Hence my parcels should end up at my local post office branch eventually. I have already started tracking them on the internet on EMS China. But what an excitement when I was told that they were sent by TNT. I would never see them again and it would be a struggle to get the China man to send me another lot free of charge.
