Sending a letter just isn’t what is used to be.
No, no, I am not talking about how writing letters has evolved from using a pen to using a keyboard, but rather the absolutely bang average service offered by yet another failing South African SOE.
Sometimes, however, you don’t have any other choice. Well, at least, you think you don’t.
In light of this, we thought we would make a little PSA and remind you all that as of April 1, the South African Post Office (SAPO) will be increasing its fees for postal services across South Africa, reports Business Tech.
Indeed, the VAT increase isn’t the only price increase you’re going to have to worry about. First they touch you on your studio, and now they touch you on your wallet.
While these fee increases include both domestic and international rates, below is how much you can expect to pay for sending letters and parcels overseas:
Not exactly costing an arm and a leg, but can you actually count on your goods to arrive? Want to wish someone merry Christmas? Cool, but you better mail the thing around mid-October.

And don’t forget that someone is going to have to pay for customs, and all the red tape that nonsense entails:
If you’re looking for local prices, you can pop over here to see what’s about to hit you.
All that effort and it doesn’t even arrive? Yup – which is why, if you’re having to send anything overseas – or even get something sent to you from overseas – you should utilise the impeccable services of Postbox Courier.
The best part about Postbox Courier is that they have someone at SA’s major airports who deals exclusively with whisking your goods through Customs, securing the best rate on clearance and duty tax, and all that other red tape so you don’t get hit with any nasty surprises.
Here’s a quick look at the Postbox Courier process:
It’s too easy – and much easier to use while we all wait for Pravin Gordhan to work his magic.
