The Post Office has gone postal.

Who is going going to "benefit " from this effort. They too useless to deliver a letter on time. My Telkom account regularly arrives 2 months late.

I am bit confused by this, is this suppose to be like a 'courier' option or something for the post office?

Must you be a business to register for this service if you want to send goods overseas?

Is this service going to be faster vs. the current service of sending parcels overseas?

thrashing of a dead animal.

everybody knows the post office isnt worth anything.
(what SOE besides SARS is?)

and yet they trying some last desperate effort to force people to use them.

including the idea that aliexpress and ebay and takealot MUST by LAW use them.

5 days delivery target?!?!!? Forgive me while I piss myself laughing...

I wouldn't trust SAPO with anything of any value EVER. They can't even keep their hands out of a package of yoghurt powder ffs.

Is Telkom not able to send the account via email?

You can't deliver an envelope and now you want to run an eCommerce platform?

I foresee e-shoes (issues).

What do I then use for RICA and FICA purposes. Besides I get way too much junk mail.

This will be R 100 000 platform that will cost R 300 million.

Then it won't work on launch and no-one will be held accountable.

Tenderpreneur (buddy/brother/cousin whatever...) drives away in their 7 luxury vehicles to one of their 4 new properties.

You print them and they accept them...

Yeah, a bright spark, insisted on a post office stamp, on envelope, as "proof of authenticity " - no further comment required.

I wonder who got awarded the tender.

Here is the whole scope of the project: SAPO E-Commerce Tender

Never had that.. I've been using printed statements and the like for years....

How about this, keep one envelope with the stamp, and then just print the statements out in future... I'm pretty sure that brightspark isn't clever enough to read the date stamp

Your address is still on the bill? I used my Edgars account when I had one. I haven't received a bill from them ever, always via email.

Bad luck it seems, I've not had that problem even once.

Another SOE to loot.
