Questions & answers

A regular letter has no tracking points. If the letter has not arrived within the expected time, there may be several reasons:
- The address may be incorrect or incomplete
- There may have been delays in transportation or distribution
- The letter may be misdirected or returned
- Another distributor may be used
We therefore recommend that you give the letter a little extra time and possibly contact the sender to investigate which distributor they have used.
