Anyone else running into a ton of hassle with sending letters to the USA since the regulations changed?
They flat out told me at a Budapest post office that I can't send anything in the envelope but personal written mail. They hand-wrote "Contains personal correspondence only" (in Hungarian 😅 ) on the envelope and I had to sign it.
It differs wildly between offices too. Some offices write it in English. Some have a stamp. Others don't care at all, lol. 😆
