South Africa is a growing country and as a result new suburbs, developments, extensions, etc. are being added frequently.


While ScrubBill has the latest postal data in South Africa, there are times when "informal" suburb names are used in-conjunction with mismatched postal codes.


For example:


Incorrect:


  • Unit / Building : 1 Green str
  • Street line 1 : 
  • Street line 2 : 
  • Suburb : Constantia Ext 5 *
  • City / Province : Cape Town
  • Country : South Africa
  • PCODE : 7945


Correct:


  • Unit / Building : 1 Green str
  • Street line 1 : 
  • Street line 2 : 
  • Suburb : Constantia *
  • City / Province : Cape Town
  • Country : South Africa
  • PCODE : 7945


In the above example the suburb Constantia Ext 5 does not yet exist on our (or our Courier's) databases. In cases like this it's almost always sufficient for you to use the parent (or nearest) suburb when validating your address i.e. Constantia.


Courier drivers are often very familiar with their assigned areas and your packages will be delivered safely.


* Always ensure the Suburb is placed within the correct field.
