An update
The rod is still missing and the wonderful S A Post Office is still unable to tell me. How such a large parcel,with a tracking number ,can disappear into thin air !!!
Their ads is not real "We deliver what ever it takes"
When I complained to the "asasa.org.za" this is their viewpoint on the Post Office ad :
"We have assessed your complaint and are of a view that we cannot assist in this matter.
Clearly the motto "We deliver, whatever it takes" is a mission statement, or
slogan, and not a substantiable claim of efficacy. This can be likened to
FNB's "How can we help you" statement, or even Toyota's "Everything keeps
going right". We are satisfied that people would not interpret this in a
literal manner, and that one or even many incorrect deliveries does not
materially change this interpretation. I'm sure you will agree that Toyota
should not stop using their famous payoff line simply because a few people have had major issues with their car?
In light of this, we will not be asking the SA Post Office to remove this slogan from their advertising at this time.
Although I can appreciate your frustration, I hope that the above explains the reason for our decision.
Kind regards, and thank you for your interest in the ASA."
