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

[mojoman]

Exactly..its a new dawn...

This not only shows the lax atttitude of SAPO towards bad service, but also shows unquestionably how useless the staff is. I have first hand experience of going to the post office with a tracking number and being told the parcel is not there, or that I need to wait for a sms before collecting. I can remember the days before SAPO was a shitty reminder of anc failure, how I always had to stand in long ques, and yet now when you go there you are confronted with empty shelves, no ques and staff playing on their phones and not wearing uniform, and ever growing lax attitudes against those daring to disturb their personal communications. If SAPO closes down, those staff members need to remember that they were part of the problem.

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.

You know I am actually waiting on someone in SAPO to blame the ailure on whites, apartheid, van Riebeeck or the damn LochNess mobster for that matter. How dare white people operate a efficient and world class post office during apartheid and then expect the same to be done during ineptocracy!? How dare they!?

I suspect they examined the contents of the package, figured out what it was, and realised what the outcome of not returning it could be.

Oh come on now! Let's be serious! 99.9% of post office (and government employees) won't be able to pass matric without government intervention, what's to say about identifying something as a tracker!? For a minion there are only two types of things in the world, stolen things that are worthless, and stolen things that could be sold for tavern money, and what's the point of selling something if you know that R5 can only buy battery acid beer and you want to live the high life and rent a bottle for your table!?

This concluded our 2022 Post Office parcel delivery test.

You people should learn to do these tests a bit faster. Shocking for a tech focused site to take so long to complete a simple test.

My mate from Oz posted me something. I was sure it was going to be stolen. Today I received an SMS to go pick up the parcel and pay an extra R67.70.

I arrived at the post office. Systems were offline. I paid the R67.70 and then they went into the back for 10 minutes. During that time 7 people walked in for car licenses. All turned away.

I then received my parcel. I'm playing the lotto today using the numbers from the parcel.

So where are the calls for the removal of the post office CEO?

Like AdR surely, he's personally responsible for the mess the post office has become.
