SA post is the worst!

This has got to be one of the worst postal systems in the world. The shear incompetence and lack of enthusiasm is mind boggling. Lost post, backed up post for months, misdirected post, the list carries on and customs is just as bad. If you want to order something from overseas and can't afford a courier like fedex or UPS, order AT LEAST 4 months in advance. Completely ridiculous!
