SA Post Office Strike

Once its on the airport is green robot all the way. To get it to the airport via SAPO is the biggest problem.

So you are a Viking?

He is a boer from JHB

 

[Seriously]

He is a boer from JHB

It took 5 days to get from EL to my home town above the arctic circle

 

[semaphore]

Umm.. He moved to Norway, from South Africa?

Slummies* but from up here, you're close enough.

It was -9 on the road yesterday, driving on ice isnt as much afun as it looks like in the brochure. That being said, Im due to complete the Norwegian drivers license next month...at a cost of R30k. Yeah.

Lulz, nah dude. I moved out of Jhb in 1989. Been stationed in EL since then mostly.

Then strictly speaking it's not his "home" town. I wish I was him. There are nice girls abound up there.

Blimey! Yeah when I was in Sweden the icy roads was tricky sometimes. Thanks to traction technology and spike tyres I made it!

I know a few Norwegian girls, they're definitely up there with the hotness factor.

Don't be so butthurt about the license fee. Singaporeans have to pay way more than that for the privilege of buying a car.

Got my one package today from Germany, surprised it was not crushed to death.

Wonder if sapo is working this weekend on the backlog for international parcels...

 

[Celine]

how is it that the MOST important documents, i.e. electricity, telephone etc, can get to the consumer yet other stuff just cannot get to people? this just puzzles me.

To be frank, I read a lot of posts of people suddenly getting international and local packages delivered. People mentioning that electricity and phone bills are now being delivered.

Well, I have not received a single electricity bill, phone bill, or any other postal item for that matter. Neither has anyone in our street or from work. I have ordered 74 packages since July, which was all sent with USPS. All of them, without exception, still shows a tracking status of leaving the US. They have not yet been scanned in South Africa. In fact, I just did a checkup on all of them right now and they still have the same status since July.

So honestly, I do not see how some are so lucky...

My package changed status on the 6th Nov going from customs to transit and it's being stuck there since. Have no idea where package is, post office can't help either. We suspect it's on its way to WITSPOS.
