Investigation Started After Thousands Complain About Missing Packages & Late Deliveries in Hungary
The Public Administration and Regional Development Ministry on Tuesday said it initiated a probe after thousands of Hungarians complained that packages ordered for Christmas had not arrived or came late.

The ministry said consumers had reported lost packages and package lockers that failed to function, while many consumer complaints were not handled properly.

The consumer protection probe is being launched by the Metropolitan Government Office.
