Gonderi (Gelen) alip verme merkezinde alindi Receive item at office of exchange (Inb)

What this status means

Turkey Post (PTT) has received your parcel at an office of exchange. This is the international mail centre where parcels arriving from abroad are handed over from the foreign postal service or carrier. The Turkish part of the message says the same as the English: an incoming item was received at the exchange office. Your parcel is in Turkey and has just entered the Turkish postal network.

Is my package delayed?

No. This message by itself is normal and is a routine step for every imported parcel. Customs processing often follows, so the next update may take longer than the previous steps. That alone does not mean something is wrong.

What happens next

The parcel usually goes through customs checks at the exchange office. After that it is sorted and sent on to a local PTT distribution centre near the delivery address. From there a courier delivers it, or you are told to collect it from a post office.

What you can do

• Wait and keep checking the tracking history for the next scan.
• Check that your address and phone number in the order are correct, as PTT may need them for delivery.
• Be ready to pay customs duties or taxes if they are requested.
• If the status stays the same for longer than usual, contact PTT or the seller. Have your tracking number and order details ready.
