SA Post Office Strike

There'll come a time when the post office will be a thing of the past.

Dedicated companies to handle your parcels will be the norm.

Oh and the there's email.

If they can get the cost down, and the shippers use them. Some providers ship only using post and the reason is they mostly ship to more developed nations and expect the postal service to freaking work.
 
Nope, this is the last one I'm waiting for in fact....

Okay. Just received a cheque today that was posted from the US on October 10. Haven't received anything that was posted before or after this. But it's a sign of life at least, I guess.
 
Received 3 notices today that I must collect something before 15 October 2014 or it will be send back.
 
Hi guys, need help.

Father is working in Wales, He cant come to visit because his south african passport has expired.
He has not received his passport yet. Home affairs said it was posted beginning of Nov. But they cant track it.

They supplied us with this tracking number ( FO22823 ) but we cant track it.

Dont know if it has something to do with Sapo.

If anyone can help track it, it would be great.

Thank you

The format should be RI 123 456 789 ZA. Your tracker doesn't look right. I don't know if Home Affairs has special numbers, but as far as I know the format is internationally standardised to prevent situations like this.

Thanks, they could not give us another tracking number, they said its out of there hands.

But for the good news tho, passport arrived yesterday.

Thanks for the help
 
Anybody know how things are standing with the backlog? According to the SAPO release they should have worked through it by now but neither the seller on BoB nor Takealot want to send items. Takealot hasn't even updated and is still showing SAPO as striking.

Still waiting for my sept parcel to arrive... Only got scanned at end of Nov. Still waiting to get a local tracking number... Getting no replies via email.
 
Got all but two, but those were not paid for, but still. But yeah i got the important ones.
 
Same here, waiting for stuff from the UK that arrived in SA two weeks ago. Christmas prezzies (from Dad to Dad) :(
