i moved to cyprus 4months ago. and a lot of my mail being sent to me by friends from the uk is not arriving. i have had a few things arrive but some is still missing from months ago. originally we thought you had to put north cyprus on the address, so a couple of items posted were sent with that on it, but we then realized you had to put turkey mersin 10 on it and not north cyprus, but saying that my mail is still not getting here. any ideas? where can i chase it up?? will i ever get my missing mail??

Hi, my birthday was 12th august. Six cards sent to me in plenty of time, family and friends know that. Only 1 arrived. So upsetting, where is our mail going?

I have only ever received 1 letter in the whole time I have been here. Birthday cards etc have never arrived and I can only imagine there is a big black hole somewhere that all this mail seems to disappear in to. As for it ever turning up - I doubt it very much!

ALL small packets and parcels have arrived normally within 10 days where as International Signed for ones can take up to 4 weeks.



But as for letters/cards - loads never arrived and still waiting for one International Signed for letter - been over 4 weeks now - I have tried double checking if its sat in the Alsancak post office but Mr Postman seems to be keeping his own hours at the moment and has been closed every time Ive been there.



So I would recommend your friends send all letters as small packages - but when you post from UK they ask if parcels contain a letter - if you say yes - you get charged extra!!!!

Hi Vee123

I moved over here over 3 years ago, and the first year I received about 2 in 5 letters, since then I only ever get Post from official people IE HSBC etc how come they get through, is it because they know there is no money in the envelopes, It is as you say, we miss the cards on Birthdays/Christmas reminding us of our families back in the UK, someone MUST know where the post goes to, it just cannot disappear, if anyone can speak the lingo to someone at the Girne Post Office to try and solve this problem, it would make a lot of Ex Pats very happy.

One rumour is that the post is going missing at the point of source, ie the Uk sorting office. The story is that GC sympathizers working in the sorting offices are 'misplacing' anything with a Mersin 10 address. Not proven but possible.

Sending post from the TRNC to the UK appears to be relatively problem free.

So make your own mind up!

The Northern Cyprus BB decided to do a postal experiment to see how long post took to arrive (if at all). This is what was sent:



25 July 2008 - 2 items posted from Brixham, UK (2 x white env., 1 handwritten, 1 typed)

25 July 2008 - 1 white env (handwritten) inbound from USA

25 July 2008 - From the South 1 postcard

25 July 2008 - From the South 1 (birthday type) card in a white envelope (sealed);

25 July 2008 - From the South 1 airmail envelope with a brochure (also sealed).

28 July 2008 - From Basingstoke, 1 white and 1 brown envelope.

29 July 2008 - From UK, 2 cards, one direct to TRNC and one via Turkey



So far over 2 months later, only 2 items have arrived! Both from the South.



All items were sent to an address in Alsancak so it is possible that the problem is there.

WE have live here for 4 years and we have received about one percent of mail. What is strange if its in a brown envelope and is official i.e from the UK tax mabn we get it but if its things like cards for birthdays no way. Complaining makes no difference. So if you know someone is coming out ask them to bring your mail.

I've lived here seven years now & have had a PO Box in Girne from the outset where 99% of mail is delivered. Virtually all business mail has arrived during this period, including for the first 2 years 2002 & 2003, a magazine subscription which was published fortnightly. Every single issue arrived - 52 in total.



Sorry to say that cards have been a totally different ballgame. I have received some Birthday cards & some Christmas cards but many have not been received. One year either Christmas 2005 or 2006 was quite good for cards with most arriving. The last 2 years have been dire & we've now giving up with Christmas cards & told people not to bother to send them.



On the topic of mail being intercepted in UK. sorting offices. I can't subscribe to that theory. I have failed to receive personal mail from France too & I doubt if there are many GCs working in Paris sorting offices?



Mail including cards from the TRNC to UK. all seems to arrive.



I have asked this next question so many times but have never had an answer & no one seems to know. When the topic of missing mail is reported in Cyprus Today from time to time, the routes by which it travels in /out are never touched upon & the TRNC PO chief/s never come up with any answers.



1) Does mail from the TRNC to UK. go direct?



2) Does incoming mail actually go via Mersin or is it just used as a sorting address? If yes to the former & yes to the latter, I'd put my money on the the Mersin connection as the source of the problem unless anyone has a better answer.

It's not just mail from the U.K. that is the problem. Also from Australia and from the U.S.! Someone also suggested to me that the problem was in Turkey, who knows why though?

My local postman shrugged his shoulders and told me Australia was a very long way away and of course it would take a long time

And a T C actually suggested that getting a post office box on the south side would solve the problem!

Go figure!

It was the postman's last day on the job after 35 years of carrying the post through all kinds of weather to the same neighborhood.



When he arrived at the first house on his route, he was greeted by the whole family there, who congratulated him and sent him on his way with a big gift envelope.



At the second house, they presented him with a box of fine cigars.



The folks at the third house handed him a selection of terrific fishing lures.



At the fourth house, he was met at the door by a strikingly beautiful woman in a revealing negligee. She took him by the hand, gently led him through the door (which she closed behind him), and led him up the stairs to the bedroom where she blew his mind with the most passionate love he had ever experienced.



When he had had enough, they went downstairs, where she fixed him a giant breakfast: eggs, potatoes, bacon, sausage, and freshly squeezed orange juice.



When he was truly satisfied, she poured him a cup of steaming coffee. As she was pouring, he noticed a fiver sticking out from under the cup's bottom edge.



"All this was just too wonderful for words," he said, "but what's the fiver for?"



"Well," she said, "last night, I told my husband that today would be your last day, and that we should do something special for you. I asked him what to give you.



He said, 'Screw him, give him a fiver.'"



The lady smiled and said, "The breakfast was my idea."

All the evidence would suggest theft after items have arrived in the TRNC. Has anyone asked if they have a postal investigations branch like Royal Mail? Bent posties get charged every time and usually pead guilty in advance of trial. Sounds like they need to do the same in the TRNC.

I think what Pikey is saying is because those above say it is mail from all over the world that goes missing en route it cannot be in London sorting Office for example. Unless everybody hates TRNC so much they all have GC symathisers filching the stuff.



I agree with points above regarding type of envelope, if it is of the brown official type it gets here. My parents are quite upset that for the second year in a row we have not received our wedding anniversary card, this is certainly the type that routinely goes "missing".



Think it was about 2-3 months ago CT did a piece following letters to the editor. What a white wash, the head of post here and in UK said mail does not go missing. Maybe the time has come for us to bombard there offices with complaints every time it is known a piece has gone missing then maybe they will act.

Not wanting to get into an argument about this. I say again where is the evidence? We have no evidence whatsoever as to whether the mail goes missing at its start point, in between or at its destination. That's the main problem.



The NCF forum's experimental mail test included typed official looking brown & white envelopes. They didn't arrive either.



My official mail is mainly in white envelopes BTW. Only HMG seem to use brown these days.



If someone is pinching the mail, do they really think that people would send money in an envelope abroad? If that is not what they're after, what is the point.



I'd have thought they would home in on debit or credit cards & none of mine have ever gone missing - yet?

My friend has had 1 letter delivered in 3 yrs. It had been opened and resealed with selotape and inside the card, there was a smaller white envelope. The sender had written inside the card '£20 enclosed'. Of course the smaller envelope was empty, but had also been selotaped up... I have to agree with Pike - I think that anything that looks like a card (and could have money etc in) appears to go missing once it arrives here.

scruff,



It's not about whether anyone wants to knock the TRNC. It's about what is happening to missing mail - especially anything that looks as if it may have cash or valuables in it. Given that law enforcement in the TRNC is incomparable to European standards, staff security vetting is almost certainly not carried out and there is unlikely to be a postal detective branch, on the balance of probabilities items are being stolen in Turkey or the TRNC. Of course, if you're happy with this state of affairs then feel free to criticise anyone who states the obvious.

On this subject I had my police report sent twice to TRNC. First addressed to my solicitor and when that didn't arrive to my home address here. Both excluded any reference to TRNC and were addressed as prescribed by the Post Office boss in Cyprus Today. Neither arrived and they were posted some 3 months ago. Yes I've been to Girne post office to enquire and also the local co-operative at Karsiyaka. All fruitless visits. Yet I have routinely received junk mail and advertising material for all sorts of items including buying a mobile hiome in the UK! I am of the opinion that often the isolation issue is trotted out every time things fail here and also to justify huge price hikes. Don't get me wrong I have lived a lot of places over the years and I love it here and have no intention of ever going back to the UK. However I have a number of friends who have tired of all the difficulties and either gone back to the UK or other low cost countries like Bulgaria [who have cheap regular flights to the UK] It is tempting to think that the postal problems are also justified by the isolation issue.

I checked at the Karsiyaka Koop the other day and there were a number of birthday cards in there as well as other post from the UK and it appeared to have got here within 7 days. It is strange that all the post (other than from the South) in the experiment has failed to arrive. Perhaps the problem in this case is specific to Alsancak.

Hi Scruff

Well I had evidence of what 2 local postmen (not all) did in the Uk and I reported it, the Two I knew of worked in Convent Garden Monday's in the Antique market, so as they had to be there at 5am they picked up their sack from their Sorting offices first, and then put the mail into the boot of their cars and delivered the next morning, and the same happened on the Thursday's when they did Kempton Park Antique Market, this went on for ages before they were reported and in the end were fired, but how many others do moonlighting, Just think of the poor souls waiting for news from relatives etc, Like me, 5 letters in nearly 4 years thats a record.

No idea what this NCF experiment is or was, maybe a wider test should be undertaken.



No joandjelly it is not specific to any one place. We have not received a couple of cards due last week, several b'day cards in January and ditto Christmas. Yes we have received credit card stuff, tax and pesion details etc. Where do we get our mail - Karsiyaka Coop! Plus friends have not received mail in Lapta.



There is certainly an anomoly in the post system so as I said earlier why can we not work together and come up with a wide based information system instead of having a go at others.

Scruff if you can think of any test that might help us to solve this problem count us all in, As I live here on my own I rely on mail from my family and friends, and its sad on Birthdays and Christmas and special occasions when you look for just a card and nothing arrives thinking that everyone has forgotten you. So if you or anyone out there who can help us get our mail you have my support, and those of you who have managed to get Post Office Boxes count yourselves lucky.

I sent 6 birthday cards from Los Angeles to Lapta, using the proper Mersin 10 address, i purposely did not seal the envelopes, this way they can look inside and see no cash and then send them on their merry way. Out of the 6 , 1 was received.



Yet anything I send to east side of Girne (Catalkoy) gets there every time, including envelopes with something inside.



Something tells me, that the issue is in TRNC, at the point of sorting either in Lefkosa or Girne, or even Alsancak.

Why would East receive and not the West?

Are you saying that whoever sends mail to us over here, that they have to go to their Post Office in the UK and pay around £15 to send a card or letter, If they had to do that a few times a year then they would have the Fare to fly over here and hand them to you. Not sure if I got the gist or did I read it wrong.

Anybody used a courier like DHL. Just wondering about that. When I worked in Kazakhstan we had similar problems with mail getting through. The perceived wisdom was that the postal workers stole the contents of all letters and packages assuming if they came from Europe there was soemthing worth having in them. In the end a bunch of us got all our mail together and had it sent in one largish DHL parcel. Always got there. Pain in the a*** I know but if the documents are important it is worthwhile.

We do not want to use DHL for the simple delivery of birthday cards etc, they cost pennies to post.



Still need abbeyscruf to reply about previous test of system to allow some feedback to this thread.



As an idiot I have no objection to being involved in data collection of mail sent from UK and not received.



Maybe we could involve all of the forums here and collect a full data set over a sustained period to hand to postal authorities here and in UK.

Also, £20 to someone like that is quite a lot (silly or not) and people should be able to receive their mail regardless of what is in it.

Have been having problems sending post to Kyrenia for about 6 years now. Birthday cards, well any cards really and letters. I think of about 12 times we posted in 6 years only 2 have arrived. Worse of all, the first couple of times had some birthday money in as well, which was a bit silly i know.



But also loads of other people i know have the same trouble, so we just do not bother any more. It cannot be lost mail, so there is obviously only one conclusion. The mail is being stolen, but where at?

Putting "Kibris" as a country destination won't get an item very far at the London sorting office as they won't know what it means. Never put "North Cyprus" on an item or it will probably go to the south. Mersin 10, Turkey, is the only address that can be used as long as the world doesn't recognise the TRNC. Also hence Turkish phone codes in the north of Cyprus.

Never known to put "Kibris" or "north cyprus" on any letters. It always was Mersin 10, Turkey. Surely if you put "Kibris" it will only draw attention to the mail.

Then again what have we to lose, only our letters etc and that gets lost anyway. Where are all the thousands of letters being stashed? someone somewhere must have seen sacks full of mail heading for the TRNC surely.

I went to the Alsancak office TODAY for the 4th time - he was closed on the previous 3 occasions despite the notice on the door saying they were open at those times. I took my Turkish husband - the man there did not seem to understand that we could have a problem and said that nothing could be done about lost post. So we asked for his boss's number in Girne



Bulent Bay - 03928152108



My husband phoned him and he said



- problem was just post from UK - nobody had reported missing post from other countries,

- lots of British complain but here is not the problem

- he has phoned Turkey and they say no problem there - so must be UK.



mmmmmm

vee123 That's what I tried to say in the first reply, lets boycott the Post Office there is safety in numbers, they have got to do something about it, if one person complains then they will ignore you, but if a group goes in they have to listen whether they want to or not. Who's up for this I for one is for it. what have we to lose,

I don't think the word "boycott" exists in the local vocabulary. If it is understood it may be seen as a disrespectful (and thereby futile) gesture from strange foreigners. That said, our postie on a moped has always delivered to the house when we've been in residence and nothing's gone missing. I'd never send any valuables, though.

Wouldn't it be a better idea for us and the senders to all complain to Royal Mail? - After all its them we are paying our money to!!!



They are more likely to be able to investigate and even offer a reason!!!

Hi Vee123 I think our mail goes through Turkey not the South. my family have been on to the Post Master at Royal Mail on more than one occasion, but he says there is not a problem (what is he on LOL) we need another route as no one is going to put their hands up to our missing mail

I say let the Royal Mail do the investigation, you are paying THEM to deliver your mail, let them track it down and see where it vanishes.

Do you get a refund if mail paid for and not received?

Royal Mail will not Investigate, they must have had hundreds of complaints but have pushed them under the carpet, I have written and most of my family have also, and nothing has been done. From this end they past the buck, so where to now
