Mawbs Posted June 6 Share SAPO tracking system is down at moment and only shows when it gets to Jetpark. I went to my local PO the other day to check if there was any update & they had 6 parcels waiting there for me. So check your local PO if its been a while since it landed in country.

Gr3mlin131 Posted June 6 Share Last couple of Ali Express parcels got to me eventually. Four packages sent to three different post offices. One that only takes cash, one only card and the last one can do both. Takes at least two months and the tracking breaks down after the distribution center in town. Then the wait starts for the little notification paper in the post box. So I have received everything eventually, but not worth the hassle for most things I would order from there. Especially with the seemingly random taxes added to the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristiaanSt Posted June 6 Share I got a surprise this week after ordering something from Aliexpress 2 weeks ago, my local postoffice guy sent me a whatsapp with a pic of my parcel saying I can pick it up and pay R38. Thought for a second it was a scam but went there and got my parcel. ...... 2 weeks total, feel like I need to play the Lotto now RustyHWR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been using Temu without issue and wondering if there are things on AliExpress that Temu doesn't have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion its a "much of a muchness" between Temu and AliExpress. Might come down to price between the two with Temu perhaps offering bigger "discounts" than the much longer established AliExpress. Where Temu has the edge on AliExpress is delivery times and having Buffalo couriers handling this side where deliveries are concerned. Although, I have been sent an article where SAPO had their right to exclusivity where distribution of small parcels are concerned, extended. Whether this can/will be enforced remains to be seen - especially with a lot of their branched having closed down, etc. Edited June 6 by KB280DT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bars ; wheels frames etc. not sure if this is a good or a bad thing 🙃 Edited June 7 by Mongoose! Razor1972 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
