SAPO Strike

[Wil6]

Hey, there's someone working in the middle of all that!

Well spotted. Took me a while

[Thug]

Don't know, I would assume that you open a dispute with the supplier

 

Here the paypal site regarding purchase protection https://www.paypal.com/webapps/mpp/security/buyer-protection

 

 

Ja, looks like a dispute is raised with the Supplier.

 

Not his fault that SAPO are on strike and have trashed the JIMC, so unfair on him to claim.

 

Guess I'll have to wait this one out.

Also waiting it out for a frame and shifters... looking at that mountain of parcels, even when the strike is over could still take weeks to get delivered !!

I doubt any of this will ever be delivered

[MrJacques]

So, what alternatives besides couriers are there? There's some stuff being sold in the classifieds that i want in JHB. The cost of the items isn't very high and normal courier company costs make it not worth it. I also have some stuff I want to sell, but once again the courier costs might put off potential buyers compared to what it costs via post office.

Anyone , is this strike over yet?

Yes, mail all your expensive sh!t now!

^{I have made use of Berco / Aramex.  Their overnight drop box costs R 99 and it works well.}

Good news, got my parcel from chain reaction yesterday...... 4 months later.

[SimpleDom]

At least it seems like they are doing the older ones first.... Mine still stuck in ems since September

[shaper]

Went to post box this morning, nothing!!

 

Still waiting for my frame from China.. sent end of Sept and other components from Merlin cycles send early October

 

Tracking say both are still at JIMC 

[canfan]

Have been waiting 2 months for stuff as well. 

[GerrieTruter]

I had 2 items posted to me on the 1st September. Received the 1st package about a week ago and the 2nd package on Monday.

 

Hope your packages get to you guys safely.

I got my deliveries last week... and have since ordered some more things online so hoping they don't get held up too long.

 

When i was picking up my parcels at cape mail i was told there was 16 million parcels sitting in the Jhb, Cpt and Durban mail centres / airport storage hangers. The lady also unhappily said it looks like they will be working on weekends and with extended hours on weekdays to try and catch up
