author: Does anyone else have any issues with receiving post? I’ve had a few messages from friends informing me that they’ve sent birthday cards to me (none received)
and have also asked a family member to send a test letter from the UK (still not received after a week 🤷‍♀️). I’m thinking of reporting it to Correos as getting quite concerned!!!
We have an accessible post box with our name & address visible!

I have a buzon in a Venta and no problems receiving anything from the UK - slight delay but think that's due to the UK end as well as here. I've just told people not to send
anything anymore from the UK as you'll probably have to pay something on it anyway ****

I agree we have also told everyone not to send cards the last one cost me 10 euros, ****

I think they save it up till they have 5 or 6 letters then they deliver, who knows how long that can take. ****

Post box at Florentina post is taking about 2 weeks atm ****

We had long delays with (urgent) medication that took about 2 months to arrive (in a normal envelop) Complaining to coreos does not help. They will say that it arrived late in Spain
and it is not their fault. The sending nation will say the oposite. ****

It took 3 months for my card to arrive from the uk. ****

used to be a week before covid and brexit, now around 3 month's ****

Still awaiting my birthday card from April 2022 !!! ****

author: Thank you for the info everyone x I’ll give it a little while longer and then report it to Correos if nothing received

Just received mail from UK took 3 weeks ****

I think you will find uk post office have lots of issues too. ****

I live right in the centre of town and a simple card took 15 days from the uk ****

I am not on an Urbanization so don't get post delivered to the house but I have a box at Solvents in La Barrosa and have never had a
problem receiving mail. I had a birthday card three days after it was posted in the UK and parcels within a week. ****

We have postal delivery to our house but its sporadic. I think they wait until there´s three or four letters before delivering. ****

I waited nearly 6 weeks for a signed for packet ****

Depends on where you live. Correos do not deliver mail to my road but they do to the roads either side of me - go figure🤔 I don't live
in a remote part of Chiclana. Probably best to go to the Offices and ask. Or even better for a small annual fee use The Post House in
Los Gallos where all your post and Amazon parcels can be delivered without you having to hang around at home waiting for them. ****
