Poor Service from FedEx South Africa

Reading all the reviews about FedEx South Africa is true, really poor service including their customer service who promise the heavens and deliver nothing. I received a notification that my package arrived on 26 January 2019 in South Africa. After that no communication, on 31 January 2019 I phoned customer service and spoke to Komola Naidu who requested that I sent her documents to clear the package, which I did immediately. After this I received no update what's happening to my package. I phone several times and requested to speak to Komalo but she was busy. I phoned again on 7 February and requested to speak to a manager. I was told to call Sanjeev Lutchman on ********** 441, which I did but he was not available. I left a message but he did not call me back. My tracking number is ********** 39330. The package is related parts for an aeroplane, although low value I need it urgently. If they cannot be trusted to deliver on such a small value package, how can you trust them with other imports? I will inform my supplier in the US to rather use another courier in future and also to inform FedEx in the US regarding the poor service with FedEx South Africa.

Reviewer Update
I want to thank the management of FedEx, in person Craig Farah and his team who contacted me this morning (11 Feb) and undertook to expedite my package. Several calls followed to inform me of the status. At one stage they informed me that the documents have been submitted to customs and it will take 5 days for the clearance. Craig called me again in the afternoon and said they managed to expedite the clearance and that my package can still be delivered this afternoon. Thank you very much Craig and your team, your efforts are appreciated. If I could rate you again I give you a five star. Communication is the essence to be successful.
