Post collection — South Africa

An overflowing letterbox signals an absence and loses important mail. Regular visits empty the box, put the post somewhere safe and flag anything that cannot wait until you return. On Helplease, you describe your needs and the workers offering this service in South Africa are notified of your request.

What the service covers

  • regularly emptying the letterbox;
  • keeping the post safe;
  • flagging urgent letters;
  • removing visible leaflets;
  • sending photos if agreed.

Depending on the agreement, the mission can include the agreed visits, collecting the post, storing it inside, flagging anything that looks urgent and a report after each visit.

Key points

Keys, access and confidentiality

Hand the keys over in person, with a written list of what is allowed, and take them back at the end: no copies are made. Alarm codes are given to one person only and changed afterwards if needed. The worker invites nobody and posts nothing about your home; on your side, avoid announcing your absence on social media.

Instructions and emergencies

Leave in writing what needs to be known: where the water, electricity and gas shut-offs are, how the alarm works and who to contact. In case of a leak, a power cut, damage or an attempted break-in, the worker contacts you immediately and alerts the relevant services if needed. No repair is undertaken without your agreement.

What affects the price

  • length of the absence;
  • frequency of visits;
  • tasks requested;
  • distance;
  • presence of animals or many plants.

The rate is agreed with the worker based on these elements.
