Update to the SAPO strike (Important Warning)

[BhavZ]

Capemail Hub is also delayed now. They have my package for 8 days now! Not yet on a shelf

it took 12 days for mine to get a shelf number, hang in there man, I am sure you will get it before Christmas

 

[Cat]

When it gets a shelf number is when...just before they make the collection slip?

Yip

I've got 2 packages that were shipped from overseas on the 29th of September. I'm hoping they are somewhere in SA. How do I go about getting SA tracking numbers for them? Thanks guys.

You just type the tracking no. on the following website and the local allocated no. will appear next to it after you clicked on "search" (provided it has been scanned at customs):

Thanks Johan! It just gives the same info as the overseas post office tracking. That the packages have departed and are on route to SA, dated 30th Sep.

I received two parcels of goods I ordered in August. Still a lot I'm waiting for that I ordered in October though.....sigh

Then it hasn't been scanned by customs yet. PS. I did however received collection slips in the past from Post Office that were only showing: "The packages have departed and are on route to SA" on all available parcel tracking sites.

 

[vengeance]

I guess i'll just have to carry on waiting patiently and pray they arrive one day...

i ordered stuff in July and i am still waiting .. sitting in JHB

 

[Mike]

So I've got one parcel and am expecting the EMS one on Monday Supposedly however there is still a "go-slow" strike happening according to my buddy at the P.O... How true this is, who knows

 

[Daniel]

Lol and that's different how? PO at its best is nothing shorter than a snail trail hehe

 

[Cat]

Sometimes i would feel the zzzzz's in the air when i went into DURMAIL i'd start yawning.

 

[Nooby]

Capemail Hub is just as delayed! It arrived 10 "working" days ago at the hub, and apparently they work weekends as well to try and clear the back log. That makes it an extra 4 days, 14 days all in all!

 

[MarkDBN]

93 days and finally landed at JIMC. That cargo plane has some serious fuel saving tech under its belt.

Bad news for all waiting on vape mail/other mail.
SAA isn't accepting SAPO packages/containers.

This is according to customer service who I called and was actually helpful and informative.
The issue should be resolved within the week. Though I wonder if EMS will fall into this issue too.

Good luck to all.

 

[Cat]

Why not? Some other "industrial action"? ohhh boy, going one way.
Yes, will apply to EMS.
But, incoming? They are not accepting SAPO stuff onto domestic flights?

 

[VandaL]

Argh by the time I get my ems package the ipv4 will be out and vtc6 will be the norm. Today is it's two month anniversary

 

[Mike43110]

Well, my stuff is through customs and scanned in to PE (and one misrouted to EL...)
So no updates to anything for 6 days now, so I call and try to find out what is going on.

I get the above. The stuff may be through customs, packed into a container ready to fly off to wherever it is required.
SAA won't take the stuff.

So SAPO is still pretty much useless. Can't even move locally it seems.

VandaL, by next week I will be joining you in the 2 month celebrations!
There should be a support group for all who have been burnt by SAPO. Charge R10 entrance fee, make millions

 

[Daniel]

I suspect it is due to outstanding debt not being paid , can be the only reason ...

Afraid this is very fast becoming the Eskom debacle and won't get any better any time soon , now five yes five packages waiting in limbo , I will be sending my stuff to my friend in the US and paying an exuberant amount of money to get my things into this backwater country....
