Long time to get post

Anyone else suffering for waiting such a long time to receive overseas post?

Someone posted some A4 packages to me from the UK 3 weeks ago Tuesday and still nothing at the PO???

Few months back stuff was taking 10-15 days max, but 3 weeks??? Come on!!!

Anyone else seeing the same thing?

trent,

After a while, we just gave up on the hope and everything that eventually goes as planned (or close to it) is received as a bonus ;)

Well you got to have hope! Been here a year, just seen the service get worse recently as like I said before December time last year I was seeing stuff after about 10-15 days. Guess I was just lucky!

trent,

LOL...you must have gotten here not too long ago, right?

(as you're still thinking that someone cares)

That's not good....it's about time they improved things then. I'll go and look today for my package and if no card in my box I'll try and find someone to talk to in order to try and find where it is.

Qatar Post office works well only for outgoing mail.

Incoming, a simple letter from Canada, once arrived in Qatar, has taken 7 weeks to reach its PO box in Doha!

Still shouldn't take that long. It's normally 3 weeks max to get something from the UK to Australia!

I think you've hit the nail on the head 220v. The problem is here in Qatar, in that the post is sitting in the PO unsorted and they'll sort it when they're ready...
