Thing is I used the AGS shipping details for Shanghai from their website of AGS including my account number but somehow it ended up with JHB Mail Centre instead.
That's weird! Did it ever show up at any stage in your AGS account?

How did you even know it was in the post office system? Did the seller tell you? If so, ask him what address he used.Thing is I used the AGS shipping details for Shanghai from their website of AGS including my account number but somehow it ended up with JHB Mail Centre instead.

Another thing to watch out for is that you can enter all Aramex addresses onto eBay and Taobao etc, including your home address.
If you don't select the correct address on checkout it might default to your home address.

More than one of my tracking numbers picked up on my 17track app shows it is at JHB MAIL Centre which is not normal.
Aramex didnt tell me anything. No matter how many times I phoned and email they cant give me a clear answer.

That could be the case from the looks of it. Even though I followed it carefully and even phoned AGS and of how it works and yet this happens.

If it is not on the Aramex system they couldn't help at all, and as they are most probably flat-out busy they wouldn't be very sympathetic.That could be the case from the looks of it. Even though I followed it carefully and even phoned AGS and of how it works and yet this happens.

@DeeinSouthAfrica. Ok I went Aramex building yesterday turns out when I select the Country/Region to South Africa even though I filled in the entire info with Shangai address including State/Province/Region to Shangai and City to Shangai it will still sent to the JHB Mail HUB center coz the problem I have from is this following error (check screenshot).
and their AGS website has complete lack of a guide and couple of people are having the same problem as I am.
Has anyone actually managed to order from Aliexpress using AGS shipping address before and managed to get it delivered? If you do please share?

That error. For some odd reason, I cannot save this shipping address at all.

If the tracking message on Aramex says "Departed Operations facility – In Transit" - Joburg, how long would it normally take for the parcel to be delivered to Cape Town?

Hectic and their AGS website shows in shopping directory it supports Aliexpress. Thanks Aramex.

I use Taobao. It is the Chinese version with cheaper prices.
They all belong to Alibaba - Taobao, T-Mall (which is connected at the hip to TaoBao) and the expensive Aliexpress.
I have not shopped at Aliexpress for over a year, as it is aimed squarely at the lucrative overseas market.

Thanks, I shall give that a go.
Which site is it exactly?

It is world.taobao.com
Mine is set to US (top left hand side) so I get prices in Chinese Yuan Renmimbi and USD.
There is no English (because you are now a resident of Shanghai and speak no English).
Use Google translate.
If you really want to use Taobao it is not easy to join and use, but there are comprehensive instructions in this thread.
Lastly, join Alipay as they give you buyer protection like PayPal do.
Finally, I am certain that there is spyware on pretty much everything, but I don't think the mighty red communist country gives a continental about any resident residing at the bottom of Africa.

Maybe try using the AGS Hong Kong address instead of China as a test
