Blazing Saddles?
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.

Just looking at the fact, that one team with 4 draws and 2 wins can make ti the final...
It may be that never was spent so much money for such a crap...

We can test some of the laws of God like we can test the laws of science to find out if they are abolished or not. To find out if the law of gravity was nailed to the cross, we can drop things. You see, every law has a penalty (or it wouldn't be a law, it would be a suggestion). When you break the speed limit law, the penalty is a fine. When you engage in football hooliganism, the penalty is a ban or deportation or worse. There are football hooligans from the 1990s still held in the remains on concentration camps in Europe.

Nah, that's just London!
I came into this game for the action, the excitement. Go anywhere, travel light, get in, get out, wherever there's trouble, a man alone. Now they got the whole country sectioned off, you can't make a move without a form.

Yeah since they added the 1/8 finals the whole system seems broke. I found it refreshing to have more teams going on at first but since it was "easily" possible to go on with 3 draws it felt kinda broke. I think they have to review the points system to rebalance it now.

It made the group stages really dull when games where both teams were happy for a draw due to 3 out of 4 qualifying. Actually it's been one of the worst tournaments for entertainment there's been in years. It seems to have caused all the big teams to end up in one half of the draw also.

That was more because the "big" teams played like sh*t...
