South African Post Office on mail delays due to Coronavirus

Coronavirus delays mail to and from the Far East

The South African Post Office advises its clients that it cannot accept mail destined to the following countries:

  • China

  • Malaysia

  • Indonesia

  • Taiwan

  • South Korea

  • Sri Lanka

  • Vietnam

  • Bangladesh and

  • Kuala Lumpur

Mail to Hong Kong is not affected.

The airline carriers currently used by the SA Post Office for transport to and from these countries are unable to uplift mail due to challenges caused by the Coronavirus pandemic.

As a result, mail from these counties meant for South Africa will also be delayed.

The Post Office will resume services once suitable arrangements have been made with different airlines and would like to apologise for the inconvenience.
