Sa Post Office

I should've stayed in Ireland, I'm seriously loosing my optimism in this country.
well, I probably could have argued, and demanded to speak to some manager...but one day before departure I am not getting to uptight on that anymore. I was just quite amazed about the lack of logic. thought that i needed to share that :confused:
on the positive side: there is more sunshine here then in Ireland. I am going to miss that too....

Sunshine yes, but not beer and the good o'l crack (gaelic crack)
 
Damn post office - am waiting for a parcel from CVS - he mailed it on the 28th of Jan...
I just hope it gets here... eventually...
 
So mad right now, wasn't able to track a parcel online so made a few calls. SAPO's tracking system has crashed and they have no clue where packages are now. Just have to sit and wait and if you are lucky a little white slip will appear in the post box. What a joke.
 
I've made a decision after the last SAPO disaster, in future will only use courier services like Fastway, Collivery etc.

I never use SAPO for local, but it's an incoming international order so unfortunately courier wasn't an option.
 
Well Cape Mail have got my 20 dollar Aqua Tank from fastech and they want me to fax them the invoice etc,why don't they put their fax number on the notice they send or answer the phone!?:rolleyes:

Anyone have a fax number for them please as I can't find it.Probably my fault should have kept it because it was on the notice they sent when they nabbed my REO!
 
cant you just email it?

I think that would be to efficient for those guys,they don't give email details so you have to mess around printing and running off to the fax/print shop.Thereby using paper,petrol,time,money.....what happened to trying to cut carbon emmisions:-@
 
Does Deon normally reply to emails,I sent him a mail on the 12th June and I've not had a reply.
He never replies to mine, but then I always just send him the required documents and know he has attended to my email when I receive the parcel (with all the email attachments printed out) a day or three later. For a general query it is problably better to phone them.
 
I was last in touch with him on Wednesday last week. He replied a few hours later. Did you give him the tracking number? On my mail I queried a US tracking number which doesn't reflect on our local tracking.

Do you know how long it normally takes for a US parcel to arrive here it left chicago on friday.
 
Depends in type of post. A mate had his delivered to his door with zero charges 8 days after being despatched. Mine took 3 weeks and paid vat and duty

This looks like the right place.... have to vent a little bit.

Speed Services - Overnight "Courier" from Cape Town :-@

It seems that parcels sent from Cape Town just take longer to reach their destination, overnight to Tzaneen is a little ambitious, an extra day I can understand but when you're paying for "speed" you kinda expect them to at least pretend to be quick about it. The last few parcels have taken no less than 4 days. I'm still waiting for one sent on the 18th of June (last Wednesday) that was only scanned in JHB yesterday (21st June), so today is day 6 for this one and it still needs to be scanned at Polokwane, usually they arrive in Tzaneen the day after that!

I asked the local PO staff why these parcels are taking so long but was met with a blank stare, I had a friend send me stuff fairly often from PE, usually on a friday afternoon and they arrived here on saturday morning every time without fail.

Is anyone else experiencing this kind of "Speed" with Speed Services?

ok, venting over..... for now.
 
Apprently speed courier services went on strike on Friday. That's what I heard when I went to the post office.

Don't expect much, but then that also doesnt explain why your previous packages have taken so long
 
I was also told by my local Post Office that Speed Services staff went on strike Friday morning 20 June 2014.
