Update to the SAPO strike (Important Warning)
- Thread starter WHeunis
- Start date
I suspect that if don't see anything a month from now you might try your luck with the suppliers and say it got lost in the post. Some suppliers will reship if they are big enough and have some sort of provision in their accounting books. Such as most of these chinese suppliers.
Anything less than a month we should just wait it out. Remember, they are still only on 60% staff as far as I know.

Thanks for the update @capetocuba - hope they offer trauma counceling to some of our vapers as well.
Oh no, I'm in Robertsham and now the branch has been closed. Good helpful people there. Always got good service. Wonder how long the repairs are going to take.
@capetocuba, so what happens when they want the invoice? Do you give them the invoice?
Yeah I do as some vendors ship without an invoice in package.
Ok, so if you show them the invoice then they know its e-juice and charge you duties on it?
Yeah otherwise they won't release it.
That sucks! Thanks for the info!
They charge 14% vat on everything. Some retailers put invoices on/in the packages that show lower values, so sometimes it's better to contact them first before sending the invoice you have in your inbox.
If there is no invoice in/on the package then can you not say it's a gift?
Well, you are only allowed 2 gifts per year, each worth less than R400, and I think the person sending it has to declare it as a gift as well.
Though if there is no declaration form on the package I guess you could try that...

What are the chances of the post office in bedford centre letting me go in and look in my parcel is in the back?
The problem is not at the post office itself but at the sorting centers (HUB).
Most of the post offices will still be putting notices in your PO Box if they have the parcels at the branch.
The items are not being sorted at the hubs or leaving to the local post office.
Perhaps they should move the extra people who are not sorting parcels at the branches to the hubs to make the sorting there easier with more hands.
So in essence move the willing but not working people from the branches to the hub.
And you expect any form of efficiency from a state run organisation except SARS?
