So we all know that receiving parcels via the post office is basically hit or miss, 1 in 10 chance you will receive your parcel and then hope nothing has been stolen from it.
However, sometimes it is unavoidable and you have to.
Last year, just before the lockdown started, it seemed that they were finally getting their ducks in a row. I would order items from wish, and would you believe, it actually arrived. Again, I ordered stuff from wished and it arrived! Amazing.
However, then the lockdown started and basically all my wish parcels were suddenly gone with the wind.
It's been more than a year now, and they still havent delivered about 3 of my pending wish parcels and also 1 parcel from ebay. All of these orders have international shipping numbers, but cannot be tracked once they enter South Africa. All of them shows that they have arrived in South Africa, basically a month after I ordered them, and thereafter they are untraceable.
Since then, I phoned the post office with no luck, I emailed various post office support emails and to this day have not received a single response. I even downloaded their stupid app, which is just a useless web view with a glorified iframe loader and the tracking foes not even work on the app. Well, I didn't expect it to, but I at least tried.
Now that made me wonder... Where do all these parcels end up? Do they just go into storage, or are they stolen... Or is there actually a place where one can go to query your long list of missing parcels??
Anyone have any tips, experience or success stories to share ? Or all we all just doomed.
