On The Frustrations of Dealing With The PTT

The PTT is Turkey’s mail provider.  Rather, it is Turkey’s supposed mail provider.  But we are not being provided with our mail.

We haven’t received a  package since September 30th.  There are packages that have been en route to us since late August that haven’t arrived.  In total, we are waiting on 9 packages that are between 6 weeks and 2 months late in arriving.  This includes birthday gifts for EcoKid.  Birthday gifts for me.

It’s really, really frustrating.  We’ve contacted the post office.  They claim to have nothing.  But the packages are coming from four different countries; it seems highly unlikely that all nine went missing simultaneously in various corners of the globe (the argument that the PTT is giving us.)

That’s right, they only want to deal with us in terms of ‘lost packages.’  To me, it seems pretty clear that our packages are being stopped from delivery, not that they’ve ALL just HAPPENED to have gotten lost.

But the PTT won’t talk to us.  Not unless we want to deal in terms of barcodes for individually ‘lost’ packages.

Sooo… if you were planning on mailing us anything for Christmas, please don’t.   I doubt it will get to us.  The great abyss called the PTT will eat it.

And if you’ve sent us something and I haven’t thanked you, this means I haven’t received it.  I ALWAYS send thanks.  So please don’t think I’m being rude!

Grrrrr…
