Hi there.

Can anyone tell me which is the best method of posting letters/cards from the UK to Turkey? My post never seems to make it out there unless I've paid extra for guaranteed delivery - or is this the only way to ensure post gets delivered and doesn't fall into the hands of dishonest postal workers?

Thanks.

yeah thats happened to me too... everytime i send sth. to turkey its meant to arrive within 3 days although never does.
my bf is currently waiting for my sim card to get to him so that he can use it for me before it expires... damn post...i think bcoz of their delay im gonna need a new tr sim card...

anyway, here is a list of all the postage forms... hope it helps....

Thanks for that miss_ceyda. Its so soul destroying when you've sent holiday snaps to your bf and he's waiting but they never arrive. I guess the only way to be sure is to pay the extra and have it signed for at destination. Someone did once suggest I send stuff in brown envelopes as these are considered official and therefore don't tend to get opened before they reach their destination.

aarrrrgggghhh something so simple is such an ordeal!!
