SA Post Office - We deliver parcels without delays

[lived666]

A marketing campaign, just in time for SAPO employees Xmas parcel looting shopping spree

 

[xrapidx]

I order two-three items a month from China/India (ebay/Aliexpress) - average delivery is between 4-6 weeks that past three months.

Hmm, just received two parcels from 4 weeks ago, but the older stuff is missing (6 weeks to 4 months).

Either they have changed to LIFO, or there has been a lot of theft (of the older stuff).

Until we go on strike again. Congrats unions

That's good to hear!

I wonder if the R24 processing fee and/or waiting 6+months deterred many south African 'wish' shoppers?

What a load a crap. For my overseas magazines I get 3 out of 5. I have parcels outstanding since May !!

maybe Hlaudi Motsoeneng got a job at the Post office?

maybe thats why such crazy things are being said?

or maybe that SARS IT head got a job there,

one can only guess.

They've put the fee up twice, its now R28.

We steal your parcels without delays would be correct

*goes off to order a R2 item from China to see how quickly it arrives*

Purchased a cable through Amazon, came from China. 3 days from order to arrive in SA. 5 weeks to arrive at my local post office.

It's total bollocks though.,... they don't deliver anything.

As a test, I ordered some USB cables from Ebay on 14 March. I bought 2 items, but they came from different suppliers, total was $3.80 (~R60). They supplied shipping numbers but one of them I could never get info from. I had given up on them, but yesterday I get 2 sms's from the Post Office to collect Overseas Items. I assume it is for this order, and they want me to pay R28 for each one. So the PO fee will be as much as I paid for the items, and it only took 6 months to get here.

Edit: Suffice to say that I won't be ordering cheap stuff on Ebay again.

They do deliver, just to their own houses

SA Post Office - We deliver parcels without delays

The South African Post Office (SAPO) has launched a new marketing campaign promising to deliver parcels without delays or problems.

“The South African Post Office now delivers parcels efficiently and without delays with the margins of error reduced to zero percent,” the SAPO said in its latest marketing campaign.

Sorry. Don't believe them.

That R28 is not the PO fee, it's rates and taxes on stuff you imported. It's standard.
