Sigh, the post office

I thought, so what if last time I sent something via the post office to Tzaneen, it ended up in Kimberley, and then Trichardtsdal, despite me paying for overnight counter to counter postage. Maybe the post office isn't that bad. But alas, the South African Post Office isn't even a sinking ship, it's a dead, washed up whale on the beach.<br> <br> How is it that for 9 days, my parcel RC***ZA gets stuck at Cape Gate and the Cape Mail? Finally I see that yesterday it arrived at Witspos. So maybe I only have to wait another 5 days before I receive my parcel in Randburg.<br> <br> Did I miss another strike? Is that why it's taking so long? Because SAPO has like 15 strikes a year, doesn't it? Next time we'll just pay R99 and send it via Postnet's courier, which is much more reliable and efficient.
