Man I wish I could have that confidence but been 3 weeks and I've seen no good news or no info suggesting the letters are coming.I personally think the 9/15 orders will show. When? Who knows...but I do think they'll come eventually.
I'm very curious to see what happens, have you ordered from TTM previously? i did read on some other forums around other people who placed orders, the 4 weeks passed, 5th, 6th, 7th, and during this time a few angry clients were bashing them saying how its bullshit and they were scammed... you know how we all can get sometimes when things don't come according to the usual or estimated schedule, and then as you continue in the thread, the same people claiming packages did not arrive post somewhat close to : my #/## order arrived! i apologize for my comments about ttm, i was impatient and certain of a seizure or lost parcel but it made it!... just trying to give you some hope, if you look on their website it says mail is moving again but slowly... i hope everyone gets their letters soon, sympathy goes out to everyone who is waiting patiently for theirs to arrive, i hope we all get our items and this is all just a past worry we won't have again in the futureIt hit the 3 week mark today so one more week and it can be written off as not coming, it says that on their website

Yea J is still in full swing. I received EXCELLENT Alp Barz last week.johnnog said:was just reading the ttm forum,ttm posted that the strike started on 16th,so you guys in the 9/15 gang have probably been caught up in this strike stopping mail moving,sorry to be the bearer of bad news,there must be mountains of mailbags piled high over there in sorting offices.
If i had loads to spare i'd ask admin if i could become an email vendor on here but i don't.
No sign of our postman yet but doubt it will turn up today.
what a pain this is becoming.
I hope you guys running low can find somewhere to order from while this is going on.
No one answered my question about Jim at SL,isn't he still taking orders?Believe he is nearer to a lot of you guys over the pond than he is for us in the EU.
I really don't think ttm is going anywhere. They just have a shipping problem right now. When this clears, I think they will be as good as ever!! And I'm one of those waiting on a 9/15 order!!The past few weeks have been so dissapointing reading the TTM thread. I feel bad and completely understand the anxiety with loosing oreders and possibly this iop! Hang in there, there are other vendors. At the same time im greatful i keep up on reading so i didn't place an order, insted went to a back up vendor which is amazing. Keep hope everyone, ttm was my #1 for a long time too, we still have hope!
My mind will be at ease when i get my 9/15 order!! For that matter when anyone with post 9/12 shipping receives. I wonder which centre ttm must go through?? Not negative against ttm just heard all this before and yet nothing has shown up.Found this. Hope it eases some peoples minds:
Update on industrial action at Western Cape facilities of SA Post Office
8 October 2014
Mail processing continues uninterrupted in C Town following the return to work of striking mail workers. The postal service in C Town is affected mainly by strike action in Gauteng, Bloemfontein and Polokwane, which delays the processing of mail to and from these centres. Postal employees at other centres in South Africa are not on strike.
Post Office management continues with talks with labour unions. The reasons for the strikes centre on the appointment of casual workers in permanent positions, which the Post Office says it can implement only using a staggered approach given the difficult financial position the company is in.
Since the process started in 2013, more than 2 000 casual employees have been given permanent contracts. SA Post Office has recently concluded 600 more permanent contracts while 900 additional casual workers are also being issued with permanent contracts.
