The South African Post Office is failing — these are the best alternatives

I’m going to bookmark these for myself so long as most of my incoming deliveries via SAPO have been dramatically delayed, and one even had the item inside stolen (and replaced with a metal weight).

It is better for your sanity often to pay more to a 3rd party to have your delivery taken care of. Although the post office has always been the cheapest, the risk is becoming too much, and many 3rd parties are at least getting a lot cheaper. For example, selling items online via BobShop, can have door-to-door courier delivery fees as cheap as R30 per delivery.
