    Default SAPO track and trace "certificate error"

    Is anyone else experiencing warnings when trying to track and trace parcels on https://sms.postoffice.co.za/tracking/parcel.aspx?
    Internet explorer warns me that "There is a problem with this website's security certificate.






    The security certificate presented by this website has expired or is not yet valid.



    Security certificate problems may indicate an attempt to fool you or intercept any data you send to the server.


    We recommend that you close this webpage and do not continue to this website."


    I cut and pasted that.

    So, is there something really dodgy or have the SAPO IT people forgotten to pay or renew something?
    I accessed the site at work this morning and thought initially that the work IT man had blocked the site and then also received the same message at home.

    Good grief! Fine service they are offering to their customers, isn't it?!

    What is their slogan? "we deliver..whatever it takes" That's service from the post office! The branches cannot even trace parcels at the moment.

    The security certificate only pops up if I try to use the Parceltrack-site.
    I am currently using the following link, and it works:

    South African Post Office - Parcel Tracking

    Please use a bigger font - my eyesight is not that great - does it say "we take whatever we don't deliver" ? :-)
