USA, Canada / Tracking a package through the Polish Postal system sent from US [57]
Merged: MAIL: USPS to Warszawa 00-499
Hi all,
My family had to mail an emergency item to my Polish office here in Warszawa. I do not speak any Polish, so I tried to call the USPS to find out who their Polish mail partner is. I had forgotten how unhelpful call centres could be in the US, but the woman was unable to give me that information and didn't even realize that the USPS most certainly does know that. Perhaps it's my fault for not simply checking first, but it turns out to be Poczta Polska. The tracking details are showing on Poczta Polska's website. The information given is:
"Przygotowanie przesyłki do doręczenia WER Warszawa"
My main queries are:
Does international express mail run on Saturdays? If so, what time(s)?
My USPS tracking shows that it arrived to my delivering post office tonight. Does that mean I could go to that post office tomorrow morning with ID, a printout of the tracking information, and the address and collect it in person? How do I find out which office is the delivery office for Warszawa 00-499?
My main concern is that I don't speak Polish and the office is on the fourth floor of a building without a lift. So when the deliveryperson rings the apartment from outside the building, I won't be able to tell him to just wait while I come down. Also, I hear Poczta Polska can be very lazy and may choose to leave very quickly without delivering the item (even Royal Mail and USPS are guilty of this). I just want to be able to contact the delivery postal office as soon as it opens tomorrow morning so that I can either grab my package or know approximately when to wait downstairs for the delivery.
