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.

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!!

If you want to send anything valuable you must be very careful- first it can be prohibited to send it abroad (my boyfriend tried to send me apricots...) second, people working in postoffices are not necessarely honest people. It is important to make a good package- it is good if nothing what is inside can be seen from outsinde (especially money!)
I send many different things to Turkey, to Malatya, and it takes about three weeks inpite the fact I send it as a prioritaire and it should reach the destination point in not more than a week he he
