I mean no wonder the country is still so backwards. The post office at that location is one of the BIGGEST ones in budapest, let alone the main one.. some messed up crap... i mean no wonder half the country is incompetent.

Only to find out later, that the letter plus check was stolen by someone called Tolnay Tibor (employee of the Posta) who cashed the check and was later apprehended. All of this, obviously, caused seriese of rather huge problems to ME. <BR/><BR/>Nevertheless, despite a clear evidence that the letter was a) stolen and b) not delivered, the post refused to reimburse me for very basic things - postage and insurance- when I claimed it back. <BR/><BR/>And the reason? <BR/><BR/>"Nothing of this kind has ever happened in Magyar Posta. The letters are always duly delivered and are never stolen". Full stop. The fact that it indeed DID happened did not interest them at all...
