Czekam na dostawę kilku listów (w tym przynajmniej jedna z Niemiec, nadana ichnim Deutsche Post, zawsze takie listy dostarczała mi bezproblemowo poczta polska), spodziewałem się otrzymać je w tym tygodniu (powinny być dostarczone przez pocztę polską), ale skrzynka pocztowa jest pusta - jakby listonosz w tym tygodniu w ogóle nie chodził. Są to najtańsze, nieśledzone listy (ekonomiczne, nie polecone) (a jeśli są polecone to ja nie mam pod ręką kodów do ich śledzenia). Mieszkam w Warszawie. Czy jest możliwe, że listy są już i "leżakują" od kilku dni w siedzibie mojego lokalnego oddziału poczty, ale z jakiegoś powodu nie zostały dostarczone (upały, braki listonoszów na etatach, cokolwiek)?

Czy jest możliwość, żeby pójść na pocztę i odebrać listy zaadresowane do mnie? (na moje imię i nazwisko i adres mieszkania gdzie mieszkam)? W internecie trafiłem na sprzeczne informacje. Jeśli istnieje taka możliwość, to jakie dokumenty powinienem zabrać ze sobą, żeby poświadczyć, że rzeczywiście to ja jestem adresatem tych listów, a nie kimś się podszywającym? Niestety nie jestem właścicielem tego mieszkania (jest ktoś inny z rodziny, nie mogę łatwo uzyskać od niego poświadczenia) ani nie jestem tutaj zameldowany (chociaż to mogę zrobić), mam za to np. rachunki za prąd itp. z tego adresu na moje dane, ofc dowód osobisty z moim imieniem i nazwiskiem, które są na listach a nawet pokaźny stosik starych kopert adresowanych do mnie na ten sam adres.
