Default Need to find a SA address to send some British badges to go onto UK
Chaps,

I am looking for a kind South African soul to forward some badges to UK for me. I will cover all costs and can pay you back the Postage to UK by paypal including any charges etc.

Alan

Hi Alan
I'd like to help but am going away on Monday for a month so probably won't be much use.
Cheers,
Alex

Hi Alan,

I dont mind helping you but the SA PO is on strike at the moment; well actually for most of the year thus far.
May be able to courier it though?

regards, Iain

I have been waiting for a package from SA for 3 months now. As I have moved house, I doubt I will ever receive it before the other house sells I would suggest insisting to the sender on using a private courier company.

Some have gone back to work.

The big problem will be the backlog!

It often takes over two weeks for me to get a package from Canada down here to Arizona. Having read this thread I think I should count myself lucky and have a little more patience

Best of luck chaps.

Roy.
