Bulgarian Postal system

I've changed my mind. There are problems in Varna. And the main problem for me is Varna postal system.

Of course whether it's city wide, or whether I'm the “odd-one-out”, I don't know. But for some reason I've dropped off the radar when it comes to receiving mail via The Bulgarian Post Office.

There are at least 12 letters that were address to me, and have disappeared from the system before reaching the postal address on the letter.

These letters have been of local origin, and also from other countries within Europe.

The addresses were absolutely correct, and were written using the Cyrillic alphabet, and in another box the address was written using the Latin alphabet. The address format followed that advised by Bulgarian Post, and included the senders name & address.

The local letters were posted at a Bulgarian Post Office, with the Post Office staff confirming the address, the amount to be paid for Priority delivery, and the stamps were applied by the staff before being entered into the postal system.

These letters did not survive the 1 kilometer journey to my apartment.

What about the mail of other people within the building you ask!!

It would seem that other occupiers only have mail of an official capacity.. Vivacom, electric, water, insurance etc. All these commodity letters arrived with no problems.

The Post Office has been contacted as best I can. But I have the distinct feeling of being dismissed with explanations of system hiccoughs!!

The failure of the system is of great consequence to me. I have issues that can only be completed by receiving written correspondence. It has to be by postal service.

On deliberation I can only think that this problem has been caused by the apartment being sold, and is not deliberately aimed at annoying me.

Perhaps a breakdown in a system that “forwards” mail to the old owners new address. But unfortunately I am not in touch with the previous owner.

I presume that in Bulgaria any act of interference with mail is the same as other countries. And carries harsh  penalties.

The bottom line:- 12 of my letters have gone missing.

Perhaps an Expat member has had similar experiences, and can advise me of a simple fix!!

Any advise is so welcomed....

Best wishes... Mike
