Post Office should be privatized - #post office must fall

<p>For the last 2 years I have had nothing but trouble from the Post Office.</p> <p>All East Rand Post Office boxes at the mall were removed without any notice or info on where we must collect our mail. After 3 months container post boxes were put at Boksburg North Post Office which no customers were told we just had to drive around all Post Offices in Boksburg Post Offices and ask.</p> <p>We had these for about 1 year then new permanent boxes were built , but not enough for everyone , so agian I had to wait for makeshift ones bolted to a wall with no shelter ****il I complained) , then the container was taken away , but we could not use our new boxes as they did not have padlocks to lock them to the wall. After 2 weeks, and in the mean time I had no post box again or anywhere to collect my post and again no info of this was given to customers. After 2 weeks I phoned Area Managers & said I would buy the padlocks out of my own pocket , but suddenly they found padlocks the next day.</p> <p>I buy alot from BOB & Bid or Buy and so need a reliable postal system. However I have had numerous items lost by the Post Office Registered & normal post from overseas & local. I have had mail taking 30 days to get from Fouchville to Boksburg a mere 80 kms away. I have had UK mail take 4 months to get to boksburg & E-Bay only give you 30 days to claim from time of posting . Therefore I have lost hundreds of Rands in the post.</p> <p>I have had post tampered with , 1 x caught red-handed , yet nothing was done about it to to-day.</p> <p>I have been screamed at by a sorted in front of all the Post Office customers because she was told I was the one complaining she had tampered with my mail, when Post Office Manager tried to intervene , she was told to "Shut Up" by the sorter lady.</p> <p>The new CEO is so busy trying to make paperless post offices & trying to take away parcel delivery from private courier (as he said on the radio 702) yet the basics are non-existent- i.e. - Deliverying post timeously , combatting the out of control theft of post , changing "Silo mentality" in the Post Office where the Post Office Branch Manager has no right to speal to/question or anything else to sorters putting the mail in the P.O. Boxes at their Post Office , Even though the first place one goes when they find a problem at your box is the Post Office Manager or Staff working inside the Post Office.</p> <p>Please stand up with me people and demand enough is enough , especially since they have just been bailed out of millions of Rands of debt with our tax money againt.It is time for the Post Office to Fall and be privatized to some one with as bigger foot print in the country like a Courier Company or Post Net etc. The same should be happening to SAA , Eskom Etc as they are all run inefficiently and costing the tax payers money & hardship in their daily lives so to prop up these useless organazations , not to mention alot of frustration trying to use their services.</p>
