  • South Africa - October 13, 2017

    Very poor service has been observed for mail into South Africa. South Africa Post Office has advised this is due to abnormally high import volumes of small Packets, Parcels, EMS and Registered mail. Volumes to them have been increasing steeply with a 400% increase recorded on Registered mail in the last 3 months. This has created bottlenecks in their processing locations due to space constraints and processing capacity. The communicated recovery plan expected at the end of October does not look to have resolved the issues and with the peak Christmas volumes, this is likely to increase delays. Untracked mail, Signed, EMS and Parcels are all showing severe delays of up to 35 days. In the light of previous SA Post Office backlog recoveries, we believe the situation will not improve until after peak period has passed.
