I have bought bunch of plants in UK. They were able to send only via royal mail. Today is 9days of waiting for package. how long does it take package to come from UK to Poland Katowice. I was told by nursery they the package to Poland usually takes longer than to other countries of Europe. Also what is the chance that the package was stolen or lost. For any advice greatly appreciated
Is it Royal Mail 'tracked'? If so you should have a tracking number and you can check its whereabouts on their website. I've had stuff sent to me through Royal Mail a few times and they used a courier at the Polish end, not Poczta Polska. Generally takes about a week.
I presonally avoid shipping through Poczta Polska. I usually send packages by searching them at clicktrans.com/ to be sure the parcel will arrive in one piece and in a reasonable time. The cost's are usually lower too. Things like bike's and furnitures aren't a problem
Well... the post is always slow. I have sent twice a letter between Germany and Poland, and it took around a month, even though they were sent by priority mail. By the way, according to the tracking services, it took much longer in Germany than in Poland (it waited a few weeks on the Frankfurt airport).
Poczta Polska is not that slow with international shipping, the posts of other countries happen to be slower.
You should have a tracking number for your package, then you can check either on the website of Royal Mail (if it's still in the UK), or here: emonitoring.poczta-polska.pl/?lang=en
