R1200 Aramex Missing Package taken by Internal Staff

It is with utter disgust that Pick n Pay Festival Mall gave a lousy excuse on how my package got missing. According to Pick n Pay Festival Mall, a random guy entered Pick n Pay Festival Mall store, walked straight to the counter where the Aramex Drop off box is, inserted his hand in and magically pulled out the Aramex package (huge one at this point). Technically, how the drop box is designed, it would be impossible for a package that size to be easily pulled out as it prevents that. The only way to get a package out of that size is by opening the box from behind the counter which Aramex and Pick n Pay employees would have access to that. If Pick n Pay Festival Mall is standing by their version of events, proof of the footage of the sequence of events would be needed and if such cannot be provided, it simply means that Pick n Pay Festival Mall is protecting employees who tarnish its name by *****ing customer packages. In addition, the Aramex drop off box is less than a meter from the Security guard, if the case is that the stranger did so, it would be impossible for the security guard not to note them from trying to pull out an huge package out of the Aramex drop off box. he would have noted the struggle and possibly questioned his actions as the packages cannot be pulled out at all. A detailed report on the incident, including any potential security lapses, and why the security guard did not notice or intervene. Pick n Pay Festival Mall promotes disloyal employees and seems to not take its clients seriously.

The footage from the exact time your package went missing. Evidence that the drop-off box was tampered with or opened in an unusual manner, as you've pointed out the design doesn't allow for easy removal of packages. 2. Accountability of Employees and Security: Given that you believe it is unlikely for a stranger to successfully take the package without being noticed, emphasize the importance of questioning the store's security practices:

Why was no one at the counter when the incident occurred, especially if the drop box is close to the counter and is supposed to be monitored? What role did the security guard play in preventing or noticing this incident, as they should have been keeping watch?

Aramex has done its throughout investigation have confirmed that such package was never retrieved at the Pick n Pay Festival Mall at the time of collection by their driver. Their warehouse floors and have been checked and all books have been check out. Aramex has been transparent with their efforts to ensure that my package is traced and it is clear that the Package was taken inside Pick n Pay Festival Mall and the Aramex drop off Box was unlocked. Pick n Pay Festival Mall is failing to account and hold the responsible employee accountable. I am still waiting an updated

Reviewer Update
its been over 3 weeks and still no accountability from Pick n Pay Festival Mall. Cleary Pick n Pay hires ******* who ***** client packages and no one is held liable. as mention, it is impossible for a random person to insert their hands into the ARAMEX DROP BOX and pull out a package as the designed of the box makes it impossible that is to ensure that packages are kept safe. the only personnel capable of opening the box is from behind the kiosk which only Pick n Pay employees have access to. It is disgusting to know that this kind of behaviour from employees is overlooked. Customer's safety is not prioritised at all. Shame on Pick n Pay! I would highly recommend people to stay away from it. Disgusting!
