You can trace your parcel on site pocztex.pl/dokl_inf_telef.php in the box under Wprowadź numer przesyłki sou Reed to write uour parcel number RI922570114GB and click szukaj on next site there is word odebral in the box there should be who got you parcel
it's a info line (with reduced charges) - I guess they work only within Poland
I just called them. They say that 26 Oct is when it arrived to a British overseas postal service (you posted it on 24 Oct, so it took 2 days before it arrived there), then there was the weekend, so the parcel should arrive to Pocztex anytime soon - the info on the website should be updated if anything happens.
1st Nov was a holiday, today is Saturday, so they aren't working either, check on Monday, if it's still not there, I may call them again for you Monday at 4.00 PM
I could take a few weeks to be honest, Royal Mail have some cheap 'signed for' option to foreign countries but in the small print it says can take up to 21 day sor something and it does. I've had a couple of things sent from the UK to Poland by that method and it took 2-3 weeks.
i have sent a parcel just by normal parcel methods ie small packet cost me £9.50 there abouts to Poland and only took 4-5 days to reach the person in krakow :)
CHECKED AT 9.30AM THIS MORNING STILL NO DEVELOPMENT
checked again still no more informatiom
hi everyone -my post eventually has arrived to the address in poland !!! nearly a month!! he hasnt got it yet-he is still in norway!! its at the office. still cant connect the phone calls. will ask for help on this by posting another thread
I have the same thing with US mail. A month or more for small packages to arrive here to me in Krakow. I have also had my letters come from the US within 5 days of posting, so I think it is a crapshoot, as to whether it will be fast or slow.
And it depends, also, on the contents and perhaps in how you fill out the declarations papers which accompany the items. Both times we were sent legal papers in a padded envelope, the manifest said "legal documents" and they came within 5 days. These were not legal papers, but were forwarded personal mail sent by my mom.
The padded envelopes, also sent by my mom, marked "personal mail" took 2-3 weeks and the one with "miscellaneous" marked on it took 35 days.
Same method of mailing (US global priority mail), same cost, same start city in the US and same end city (Krakow).
Just depends on how they handle it once it gets here.
From the Uk to Poland Int signed for. Can take UPTO 20 Days. Depending on Weekends. And Holidays. And Package size and weight. But it usually it only takes 10 to 14.
I feel i should warn you.. If your post isnt collected by the Recipient with 12 days. It is automatically returned to the sender.
It happened to me. So i hope .. A hes back in time. B you put a return adress on it
Maybe you will be more careful and pay for the tracking next time, where you can follow it to it's final destination. I learned the hard way. I'm still waiting for my Christmas present from 2001!
Poczta Polska is notorious for parcels being stolen. And equally miserable for giving feedback on where your stolen parcel might be. Pay a bit more (TNT, DHL, UPS) and your precious actually might arrive you know... and on time.
what tracking? There is no tracking available at the Polish end. If you pay for tracking when posting from the UK then the tracking only works until the package leaves the UK, so that doesn't really help much.....
Tracking most certainly is available at the Polish end. I know this because a contact at Poczta Polska was able to track a parcel (admittedly sent USPS rather than Royal Mail), see the dates the postman claimed to have attempted delivery and left notification slips (as this is an office building, there was video proof of him attempting delivery two days later than claimed and refusing to leave a notification slip plus video proof that he hadn't been here on the second date), as well as tell me the post office the parcel was waiting at after the supposed delivery attempts.
However, that is very much the exception and not the rule. I estimate that about 10% of my parcels are stolen by Polish postal workers. Two of the three parcels posted by my family in the UK on or before 10 December have not yet arrived, along with one of the two parcels I posted on 12 December.
That Poczta Polska is not widely considered a national disgrace speaks volumes about Poland.
Tracking most certainly is available at the Polish end.
Yes there is tracking in that they keep a record of what the postman did, but there is no online tracking as such so that you can see what the status is of your package which is what Ericlipis was suggesting.
Also, from my experience of querying what happened to a parcel I sent (from Poland to the UK via registered post) they wouldn't check their records for 3 months from the date of posting...
