What is the current situation at the SA Post Office?

Thanx, I explained to them and will find out if they can do FedEx. I explained about our sapo big black hole HUB, where nothing reappears from.

7 months it took my new coils for my STen from Quebec.
Never, ever, ever again will I allow SAPO to touch anything.

Received a Xmas CARD! from the UK sent 5 December 2018, last week only.

I use Scott's Shipping for all my EBay and Amazon purchases.

My parcel [UD131584741NL] from Holland which arrived at JIMC on 24/11/2018 has now 'disappeared' from any tracking system.
I'm guessing that 'somebody' had an early Christmas present at my expense !

Asked them for a quote for a Remington 870 extractor. This was their reply.

I still prefer to use the Post Office than having to deal with the nightmare that is fedex or ups.

They take longer, but at least they don't bend me over with no lube and still treat me like shit.

Only if you receive the stuff that you ordered. My purchase history on ebay tells me I ordered 22 items in 2018. To date I have received 11 items which is a loss ratio of 50%, some may still arrive but is it worth the aggravation. I need to order a fairing from overseas and I'm going to test Scotts Shipping.

Ive (touch wood) only ever had one parcel not arrive with the PO. They've taken ages. But they've come.

You can report it to ebay and they usually try to arrange a refund for you. I had an item go missing in transit and the seller gave me a refund. I may be wrong but I believe he claimed it from the shipping company.
