Amazon blacklists South African Post Office

Johannesburg - Rampant theft by Post Office workers has infuriated internet retailing giant Amazon so much that it will no longer send goods to South Africa by post, Business Day has reported.

Anyone wanting to order directly from the US-based website must now pay for a private courier service adding about R420 to the price of a DVD.

No one from the Post Office would comment. No other African country's postal service had been blacklisted by Amazon, Business Day said.


this is just priceless! exactly how many thieves do they employ?

it was bad enough that the South African Post Office was just plain incompetent, now it seems their levels of theft are so impressive that they can't be trusted to do the most basic of jobs they are paid to do!

i encourage all readers of this site to bombard their customer comment section with as many negative comments as possible about this!!

Yeah, good luck with that. I just tried to submit a complaint and got a system error! I am beyond outraged at this and very ashamed of our postal service. I love Amazon - they have always provided me with outstanding service. A sad day indeed.
