Can I go to the post office to get it myself?

Recipients of ordinary letters can go to the post office to pick them up themselves, but because ordinary letters don't need to be signed, they are usually delivered to the address by the postman.

In the mailroom of a university in Beijing, there is such a big notice. There are about 50 unclaimed mails in this mailroom every month. If these ordinary letters are unclaimed for more than one month, they will be sent back to the original site.

There are still some places where there is no mailroom. For example, ordinary letters in rural areas will be placed in village committees, and some communities in cities will put letters in properties, so there may be two situations where they cannot reach the recipients.

One is that the postman arrived at the receiving and dispatching point, but no one claimed it, or the receiving and dispatching point was irresponsibly managed.

From this perspective, there are many reasons for the loss of ordinary letters. It is safer to register and express important letters.

"It's been 20 days, and my friends in my hometown haven't received my letter. We spend money on postage to send letters, but we can't get security and can't find them. " Mr Xu questioned his own experience.

Regarding the problem reflected by Mr. Xu, the reporter went to the post office to consult a staff member: If the other party did not receive it by surface mail, could you check which link had a problem? "There is no way to check." The staff member made it clear that ordinary letters were delivered directly to the mailbox by the customers themselves, without any vouchers, and the post office did not register ordinary letters.

There is no voucher for sending an ordinary letter. It is really difficult to query under the current postal management system. Therefore, it is recommended that other citizens send letters by registered mail or express delivery so as not to delay things.
