Post Office returns parcel to sender - 8 months after we sent it

[Jan]

We tested the Post Office's parcel delivery — and the results were shocking

MyBroadband has been waiting for a parcel sent from Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth) to Centurion for eight months (238 calendar days, 163 working days), and it finally arrived — back at the sender’s address.

The parcel contained a GPS tracker and was sent with the Post Office’s ordinary mail service.

They probably stumbled upon a previous article about this, went looking for it, and sent it back.

In SA, there would be a substantial chance that your town or city would be renamed in the time taken from them to return it back to you.

They deliver whatever it takes,even if it takes 8 months!

Yes I am shocked that it didn't disappear.

At least someone somewhere at sapo is still working sometimes. That's a plus I guess?

But they didn't deliver it, they returned it to sender.

You really found that shocking? It's the post office.
If you told me it took 20 years, got routed through Mongolia and was hand delivered by Attila the Hun himself, I still wouldn't be shocked. Because you know. Post office gonna post office.

Now if it had arrived on time that would be shocking.

Having something I ordered being delivered via post to this country, with a month (just 1 month) delay from the intended eta, and the sender apparently sending a second one, via the same route after I warned them... sigh.

The only shocking thing is that the parcel wasn't stolen.

To think that they want to take over small package delivery... So ambitious.

 

[newklear]

China and Dubai can complete building high-rise blocks faster than this.
