    Tips to get your letter delivered on time, every time:

    Ensure that the addresses are correct; check the spelling of surnames, street names and towns.

    Ensure the address is written in black ink, write clearly and always include a postcode.

    You can check postcodes on www.postoffice.co.za.

    Always include your own address on the back of the envelope.

    Remember to put the correct postage on each mail item.

    For overseas mail, make sure you allow at least four to five weeks delivery for sea and surface mail.

    Airmail to all overseas countries should be posted at least ten days in advance.

    Utilise Speed Services Couriers for all your overnight courier requirements.

    Be aware of standard mail specifications and avoid sending oversized envelopes and parcels over 1kg via standard mail.

    If you are unsure of what can or cant be sent via the normal postal service, call Customer Services on 0860 111 502 or visit your nearest Post Office for advice.

    If you are expecting a parcel, ask the sender for the tracking number.

    Remember that parcels need to be collected from your local Post Office counter, as they do not fit into a postbox.

    Package parcels carefully use a sturdy box with plenty of padding if sending a gift (Easypost boxes are on sale at Post Office branches).

    If you suspect tampering with your parcel, report it to the Crime Buster Hotline on 0800 020 070.
