Unfortunatelly the tracking system is not free, they charge extra money for it.
Even if you have a tracking number, if your package get lost you can only ask where your package is. That is all, There is no return or no back payment unless you insured your package. Of course they charge extra money for insurance, too.

The question is why some packages which have no tracking number on it mysteriously disappear.

Turkish post office service (PTT) does not work good, honest and fast.

Letters and postcards are ok, sooner or later they will reach to destination. What can be inside a small envelope to sell!

But packages, big packages, heavy packages, expensive packages are in danger. In the moving process in turkey, some packages disappear mysteriously. No record, no report... I think post office men make good profit by packages come from abroad! Goverment has zero care about this...

Anyway.

In my experience, it takes 2 weeks for istanbul, 1 week for ankara, 1 week to 1 month for other cities to reach the packages come from abroad.

i sent about 100 dollar valued big package to istanbul and happily it arrived. Later, i sent 300 valued pack and no one knows what happened to the package after six months!

If it is really important what you send, use private shipping companies such as dhl, ups, fedex... They never lost the packages! But the disadvantage is they are expensive and there is no way to jump over the custom tax.

Sometimes i want to use Ubykh language but i couldnt!

saat beş buçuğa beş var.

kitaptan birşeyler oku.

i think the general rule here:

if the information going to somewhere, to a notebook or to a text file etc., then use "-e/a"

if the information coming from somewhere, from a book or from a newspaper etc., then use "-den/dan"

There is rhyme in this saying as in many other sayings and proverbs.

Binbir gece masalları: One thousand and one nights.

Some may wonder, why it is 1001, why not 1000 or any other number. Cus "bin" and "bir" are in rhyme.

Bin bir türlü derdi var: Literally "He has 1001 troubles."
