Jeez.. Hurt my brain for a mythical metal about something I don't take any notice off.
It was a lost cause for me from the start....

ONERING?
1) Probably liked by metalheads; Made of metal..
2) Partly a myth, more or less; LoTR isn't real...
3) In literature, tough and precious. My precious, my precious...and it could only be destroyed in Mt. Doom.

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Here in South Africa when sending a parcel through the postal system (not via a courier) the parcel gets delivered to the branch closest to the recipients address and they have to fetch it.
How does it work in the US? Do they actually deliver the parcel to the address or must someone go fetch it at a post office?
And how does it work in the UK?
The reason I'm asking is because there are some items I want to purchase from the US and UK and I want to make use of a parcel forwarding service (cheaper than international postage fees and they do the customs work for you). If the postal systems deliver rather than the recipient having to fetch the parcel then it would work for me.
Thx

In the UK, the post man (or a courier driver) turns up at your door with the goods.
If you aren't there, they may try to leave it with a neighbor (and a card will go through your door to tell you which), or they may leave it at the door if it seems secure. It's unusual to have to go to a depot to collect it - but it has happened with Royal Mail a couple of times.

Ordering from the UK or US will be no different than ordering from SA, the UK postal service is not going to physically deliver your parcel, they will only handle the UK side. Once it goes on a plane\boat to SA it becomes the responsibility of whoever is sub-contracted in SA to deliver the parcel.

I don't think you understand the situation But you have sort of answered my question as Griff has already done.
A lot of sellers don't want to post overseas, but I have an account with a company that have postboxes in the US and UK where the local seller can post to. Then when the parcel arrives at the forwarding company's postbox they courier it the rest of the way to SA and deliver it to me. This is cheaper than the seller using international postage and the forwarder takes care of customs and import duties and paperwork, billed to me of course. I want to do this because there are some items that are not locally available in SA. My question was whether the local US / UK postal service delivers to the local postbox or whether a parcel needs to be collected from the post office branch

Having read the thread... I'll answer this way for the U.S.
If you are sending an item to an address, the item will be delivered to the address - that can be a residence or a business.
If, however, you are sending the item to a P.O. Box (Post Office Box), then it will stay at the Postal Station where the P.O. Box is registered and someone needs to pick it up from there.
There are some residences that do not have postal delivery and the resident must rent a P.O. box and pick up there mail from there.
A former co-worker wanted to order tickets for a golf tournament, but his delivery address was a P.O. Box and the sellers would not ship tickets to a P.O. Box, so he arranged with a friend to have them delivered to a residence and picked them up from there.

It's an address, not a P.O Box, so it seems like it will work. With SA postal you have to fetch the parcel at the PO whether it's an residential, business or PO box.
