Post, Phones and Email
Major post offices are open Monday to Saturday from 7am to 8pm, and on Sundays from 8am to noon; like the red-painted mail boxes, they are marked Posta . Stamps ( timbru ) and prepaid envelopes ( plic ) can be bought here; there may be long queues, but they're almost certainly not for stamps. Stamps are often huge and several are needed, so stick them on before writing your card. Sending mail home from Romania is relatively pricey - $0.70 to overseas destinations - and takes about five days to Britain, two weeks to North America and Australasia. If you're sending important packages, you're probably better off using a courier service, such as DHL, which has offices in Bucharest, Brasov, Cluj, Constanta, Craiova and Timisoara. Letters can be sent poste restante to main post offices in Romania: make sure they're addressed Officiul Postal no. 1, poste restante , followed by the name of the town, and that the recipient's last name is underlined. To collect letters, you'll have to show your passport and pay a small fee. Important messages should be sent by postcard, as letters from abroad can go missing if they look as if they might contain dollars. American Express also offer a poste restante service to their cheque/cardholders at their office in Bucharest.
