Yup, I'm really quite pissed off, paid for the 'best' service but still waiting. The only way they have any hopes to clear this backlog is to have 200-300% the normal amount of staff active till the backlog is cleared, I doubt it's a very complicated job, can't be too hard to find temps.

It would be sad to close this thread...such good memories
Hazza, so maybe some day next year they will clear the backlog and EMS packages will not take 1 month anymore.
The priority mail package which updated on 14 November, said it is in Cape Town, zero update since then. Tried calling SAPO they just say wait, at which point I'm like I'VE WAITED TWO
MONTHS!

Guys, does the below mean it's on it's way to Cape Mail Hub? Or is it just floating around in Jhb..

Could mean 1 of 2 things, either its going through custom checks or it is on its way to capemail hub
Most likely it is on its way to capemail hub
The very first notification I received when it scanned, it was at customs... Then that info disappeared and just the above info is available.
This could be anything. This is my status of one of my orders. Still waiting

i still cannot get the local tracking numbers for my parcels
Hopefully you will soon. I waited over 2 months for anything, then all of a sudden, getting quite a few updates in a matter of days..
Looks like this is being held, call them with your tracking number and ask if you can collect from hub.
So did my daily check on my package and I get this strange update, I called USPS about 2 weeks ago and they told me the package left the country long ago and was prolly in SA customs.USPS pulling SAPO tricks or is this SAPO sorcery

It was probably being held in a storage facility until the strike was officially over

I have been waiting for almost 3 months for some of the bits & pieces I've ordered from overseas (mostly hobby parts and some LED lights) and my EVOD starter kit that I ordered on the 18th Aug only arrived on 20th Nov. Unfortunately there very little you can do but wait and hope!! The Pro's & Cons of living in a beautiful, but mostly 3rd world country LOL
