they are still on strike at JHB Networks Branch ( main routing Hub) my parcel is also sitting there
Sa Post Office
- Thread starter johan
- Start date
yeah...but I am not prepared to pay twice for it. then I will rather go the safe option and order the second one in Germany, where I know that it will get to me in time! pricing is just a little cheaper here, because of the exchange rate atm. Not worth the worries anymore....
I am going to the Post Office just now and see what I can do.... and if not then its part of a learning curve. If I need to order something in SA again it will not be thru SAPO. No option for courier? No deal. I rather pay for the premium service one can get from a courier service. Its also not that much higher to justify the risk with SAPO, as they go frequently on strikes, from what I read....
I am doing my 1st parcel with colivery today. I also dont want to use the post office anylonger even tho this is the 1st issue im having

this hits the nail on the head:

wishing the shortsighted striking staff a happy life on UIF funds, after everyone turns against them by using alternatives.

My IGO-L is also stuck with these useless freaking striking retards! Im going to strike now as well, no IT services for anyone untill i get my package!

so, went to the Post office today: "eish, sorry but there is still a strike....there is nothing we can do".
Then I decided to give the guy I bought the charger from a call, and here comes SERVICE in capital letters again! He immediately said, after I told him that I am leaving SA on Thursday, that he is going thru to PTA tomorrow afternoon, and he was even willing to drive to JNB that night to hand me a charger personally!!!
We made arrangements now that I am meeting him Thursday morning in Midrand, where he is on business anyway. I am basically around the corner, so it comes together quite nicely.
Wow, that is 100% Service and customer care. Would recommend his business anytime. There was no "but" and "if" about it. Will give further feedback here, after Thursday.

well my speed services parcel finally arrived today !! 17 days later ..
Yip you right, I do feel better now.More of a rant page
but its the same with all SA institutions, how is that, offtopic:
you gotta cancel MWeb with one calendar month notice, which I did. Service running till end of Feb. Now I want to cancel my Telkom line, which also requires one month notice. But MWeb managed the line, so now I needed to get a reference number that MWeb cancelled.....and here we go, Internet completely cut because of that. But that is the pre before I can do anyhting to cancel with Telkom....
So, one day before departure I have no more internet, although I paid the provider till the 28th, and will have to pay Hellkom till end of March. If I did the cancellations in time, for cut off on the 28th...well, that does not seem to be an option. I would have been sitting for a couple of weeks without internet
All the guy at Telkom said....that is the problem if you let your provider manage the line. However, if the provider manages it they will chase Telkom if there is anything wrong. And that happened way too often in the last few years. Random disconnect at exchange, cable theft, sudden disconnects after thunderstorms etc.
This is what I call vicious cycle...
