nauczyciel 12 Jan 2010 #1god how i hate PP. I have been having nothing but a nightmare with them when it comes to gettin my mail.I've had too many pieces of mail returned to sender, just to have them call me and ask if i have moved, just because the postcarrier is too effin lazy to write an awiso for me to pick them up at the post office. :/I have a business I am in the process of opening and the shop is not open to the public yet, and there isn't someone in the shop during business hours, so the mailman just knocked on the door and walked away without giving me an awiso. The mail was returned to sender. My Polish business partner & I interrogated him as to where our mail is, and he said "you dont get any". You can imagine how well that went over with me. We explained that there has been over 20 letters RTS, cuz he don't do an awiso. We now have him giving the mail to the shop next door.After the "shop mail fiasco"- 1 firm sent mail to my home address as requested by me. This firm called me today saying that their mail for me was RTS. They informed me that there was info on the back of the letter stating that the mailman put an awiso in my mailbox Dec 21 then Dec 29, which I had NEVER seen!!I will go to the local office and talk with the english speaking person there about this, not that it will do any good, but they know me well from previous awisos.effing ridiculous!!
Cleo14 1 | 29 12 Jan 2010 #2I will go to the local office and talk with the english speaking person there about thisha ha ha, good luck finding one :@D. but seriously - I understand your frustration. Poczta Polska sucks. I hate going there and avoid that place as much as I can. What you can try and do - altough you shouldn't have to bacuse PP gets paid for their services - is to go to your post office once in a while and inquire if theres any undelievered mail for you. you don't need awizo to do so - just your ID for picking up certified mail.
jwojcie 2 | 763 12 Jan 2010 #3I know it will not cheer you up, but PP monopoly will probably end in 2013... PP is one of the last dinosaurs of PRL standing. PP is postosaur, PKP is trainosaur, m...f...rs just don't want to die... We had also shipyardsaurs but they luckily became extinct. Hm... there are also minesaurs but they seems to evolving in some kind of crocodiles.
delphiandomine 88 | 18,331 12 Jan 2010 #4god how i hate PP. I have been having nothing but a nightmare with them when it comes to gettin my mail.I'm the exact opposite - never had a problem, even with deliveries that have the customs declaration clearly printed on it with the value/etc. They're not the quickest in the world, but that can be forgiven.In fact, the only bad thing about them is the way they don't accept cards in the post office - but it's a small price to pay. Look at the integration between the post office and the delivery side of things - compared to the Royal Mail, it's an absolute dream.Other people's mileage may vary - it's probably no surprise that the service in Poznan is efficient and....Germanic.

Englishpoznan 4 | 102 12 Jan 2010 #7A few threads slagging of PP personally 453 packages sent in December just gone 453 arrived safely with no problems!
Bydgoszczanin 13 Jan 2010 #8My business ships exclusively by PP, and I've had very few problems.In the case of any problems with service, I've had good luck speaking with a supervisor at the post office (avoiding the mailman and the clerks at the window).As I ship as a business, for the last year I've been assigned a "przedstawiciel handlowy" (basically a salesman) who I can also call about problems, and has been pretty good about sorting things. (I even got a nice PP calendar this year!)
delphiandomine 88 | 18,331 13 Jan 2010 #9A few threads slagging of PP personally 453 packages sent in December just gone 453 arrived safely with no problems!Compare and contrast to DHL, who called me at 7am this morning about the delivery of a printer worth 1650zl, so a fairly hefty piece of equipment. Fine and well - but they want to either deliver at 10am or not at all today. It's absolutely useless for me - it means someone has to be here when both of us have business meetings today, so I've had to push back a meeting simply to sign for the parcel!
Wroclaw Boy 13 Jan 2010 #10Fine and well - but they want to either deliver at 10am or not at all todaybetter than 7:00 am in my opinion, ive never heard of compaines that come back again.
Krakowska 24 Jan 2010 #11They lose the mails quite often, and their offices are a nightmare - you wait in long queues, and the workers there never speak any english. Yes true nightmare
delphiandomine 88 | 18,331 24 Jan 2010 #12and their offices are a nightmareThey're a nightmare because of old people using them for a social life and allegro traders posting endless pieces. That's not Poczta Polska's fault.and the workers there never speak any english. Yes true nightmareHow many USPS workers speak Polish?
convex 20 | 3,978 24 Jan 2010 #13They're a nightmare because of old people using them for a social life and allegro traders posting endless pieces. That's not Poczta Polska's fault.That is front and center PPs fault. Have you seen anything implemented in the last 5 years to increase efficiency? I've got three of those little package slips on my desk right now, why aren't the packages delivered to me?
Trevek 26 | 1,702 24 Jan 2010 #14you wait in long queues,and every few minutes someone walks to the front to 'ask a question' and gets erved before everyone else.
pip 10 | 1,659 9 Jul 2011 #15Poczta Polska in Polandgood grief, does anybody else hate the Polish post office more than I do?I am not talking about my mail man- he is great.I mean the old hags that work behind the counter that hate their jobs and hate everybody that comes in the post office.I have had 5 small parcels stolen and one time this old hag behind the counter mis charged me for a parcel. I paid too little, her fault, but she came to my house and told me I needed to pay more- and of course she made me feel like crap because she had to walk to my house.I would love to see Poland over haul this system.
jon357 72 | 21,258 17 Nov 2012 #16I just got an important letter. 22 days from London to Warsaw! You could walk with the letter and deliver it by hand faster than that.Poczta Polska aren't fit to be involved in deliveries within the EU unless they're administered by another countries postal service!
TommyG 1 | 361 17 Nov 2012 #17Wow! That's bad! I think it took 6 days for my original birth certificate to be sent over.
delphiandomine 88 | 18,331 17 Nov 2012 #18WarsawThere is some issue going on with Poczta Polska and Warsaw - I have no issue at all with UK-Poznan mail and even Poland-USA mail, but anything going to/from Warsaw seems to just get stuck somewhere.
Homogenik 2 | 12 17 Nov 2012 #19When I was in Warsaw in august, I sent postcards to Canada on two different days. Two cards sent the same day arrived a week later or so. And the other two, months later! I couldn't believe it!
Cardno85 31 | 976 16 Nov 2014 #20old people using them for a social lifeOh tell me about it, I was off work on day and thought to myself "great, I will go and pick up my parcel while everyone else is at work" and off I wandered to the Post Office at 11am. God what a mistake that was, the whole place was full of old people in a queue/mob that had no order. Also people were spending aaages at the counter having non-post related conversations and then, when it finally came down to paying for something, of course it was all paid in Groszy.I waited for about 25 minutes and, after so much chaos and queue jumping I gave up and went for a pint.
Crow 160 | 9,214 16 Nov 2014 #21Poczta Polska Is Killing ME!oh, don`t say that Pane. Its not ok to publicly spit on that institution. Decent people rule there. For us Serbs Polish Post Service is beacon of light because resisted to partition of Serbia and see Kosovo as part of Serbia
kur2123 28 Feb 2015 #22Merged: Poczta Polska transit timeHello,My friend has send a letter last week with Poczta Polska from Gdynia to Krakow as 'List polecony ekonomiczny' and the status of the letter is still: Nadanie przesyłki 2015-02-24 16:54How long it usually take for domestic letters? I think it shouldn't take longer then 3 business days...
Looker - | 1,134 28 Feb 2015 #23The status may not be updated yet or there's really some delay there. And this is the 'economiczny' letter so it can take longer than the 3 business days to reach a recipient.

pawian 213 | 22,169 30 Jun 2020 #25F my life.You can thank PiS party for that. They control Polish Post like all other institutions,. Recently, the Post was engaged in elections which didn`t take place in May as planned. They don`t have time to deal with such silliness as standard postal services.
fantomekallio - | 1 27 Nov 2020 #26Merged: Poczta Polska - what is going on?Two weeks ago I was sent a parcel from Poland. I'm eagerly waiting for its arrival, but nothing seems to be happening. The parcel was sent as a priority parcel, and therefore should have arrived in four working days. However, it spent those four days traveling across Poland. The last tracking log is "sent from Poland" from WER Warszawa, and that was one week ago.I asked the sender to call the enquiry phone (which I cannot do, since I don't speak Polish) and he told me, that the parcel is actually still in Poland, for whatever reason.Now I'm just wondering:- what's going on- is this common- will I ever get the parcel, and if, when- how is this possible in a civilized country
JacekthePole 1 | 51 30 Nov 2020 #27If Poczta Polska was a person, that person would be serving 10 whole life jail sentences.
Dirk diggler 10 | 4,643 30 Nov 2020 #28Everything related to shipping is ****** up worldwide now. I wait 4 months for printing equipment coming from Poland when it use to take 2-3, checks in the mail can take 2 weeks, even ordering a stupid cell phone off ebay from NYC to Chicago took over a week with 1st class delivery.Maybe try DHL or Fedex for packages and smaller shipments??
