Am I the only one who faced the prob of postcards not arriving in Indonesia?
I sent postcards from Singapore to Jakarta and my Indonesian friend never got my postcards. I sent one before I joined postcrossing in December 2023 and another in April 2024.
Hi, @hpzvyezda98 !
Maybe your friend can try to ask the local Delivery Center in his/her area? I don’t expect a clear answer but it’s good to try. The cards might get stuck somewhere. And perhaps check again your friend’s address (addresses in big busy city can be tricky sometimes), or try sending mail to another address your friend can use and see if it arrives.
My mail experiences are good lately. The latest incoming cards arrived at the center office and delivered in timely manner too, according to the barcodes on the cards. But then again, I live in Bandung, another big city near Jakarta, not Jakarta itself. And it’s been a while since I received any mail from Singapore. Hopefully you can find the answer and able to exchange mails with your friend again.
Hello Larch! Thanks for your comment! My friend already went to her local post office and was told that they can’t track any mail without any tracking number. So, it’s really unfortunate
I’m glad your postcards reached the postcrosser from Jakarta. Honestly, I think the problem is my friend’s address. Because she hasn’t been able to receive any international mail. But when it comes to local mail, she receives them
If you really want to find out and don’t mind the expense, you could try sending a registered postcard, and check the tracking to see where’s the issue?
I have sent a postcard to Malang, and it’s been over 30 days now, and so far, my postcard has not arrived. I hope it’ll eventually get there, but the hope is fading.
Hello.
I also had problems, I sent a postcard from Brazil to Indonesia on January 5th of this year and until today it hasn’t reached its destination.
I’ve heard that sending in an envelope helps. Cards in envelopes arrive
more oftzen than just a card by itself. Try sending it both ways…one in
an envelope, and then send one with a tracking number. See if either
or both arrive.
Hi Emerald! The first batch I sent was in an envelope and the second time was just the postcard. Yet, none of them made it to the receiver. I really think Indonesia Post is not delivering them to the receiver’s house for some reason
