POSTBOX-COURIER.COM-SPECIALIST SHIPPERS TO SA

[Die_Miek]

HI

i learned about this website on mybb.

they specialise in shipping things to SA.

i haven't used their service yet, but the guys on mybroadband say they are are very professional.

i think this will help a lot of us, seeing that a number of suppliers,especially on ebay, dont ship to SA.

copy and pasted from mybb:

I recently made use of the service provide by PostBox-Courier.com and was very impressed. For those people that don't know, they are a parcel forwarding service that specialises in shipping to South Africa. Since a lot of people have asked questions about this service, I decided to write a short tutorial on how to use their service:
1. Go to postbox-courier.com and register.
2. Find the item you want to buy online e.g. Amazon.com and get information on its weight and approximate dimensions. Then go here and enter in the weight and approximate dimensions of your parcel. Make sure to select the country you are buying from to get the currency right. Click "get quote". If you are happy with the price,
3. Login to posbox-courier.com and click on "parcel manager" and then click on "book parcel". Fill in all the details and click "book this parcel" A parcel ID number will then be created that you will need later.
4. Go to the website that you wish to buy your item from. Use the relevant postbox-courier.com receiving depot address for the country you are buying from. eg. if you are making a purchase from the Amazon USA, use their New York address. All the receiving depot's addresses are here.
5. When you fill in your name for the shipping address, fill it in with your parcel ID like so: John123456 Smith.
This will allow PostBox Courier to immediately know who's parcel it is.
6. Once your item has been bought and shipped from the store (Amazon), all you have to do is wait for confirmation that it has been received at PostBox Courier. They will then mail you to confirm the shipping costs and you can make payment via PayPal or credit card. My parcel was received by them on Wednesday afternoon and I had it in my hands that Friday. The item was 0.2 Kg and it cost $30 to have it sent from the USA to my door. I did not pay any import duties probably because the item cost less than R500. If there are import duties involved, then you must make payment directly to PostBox Courier.
Their customer support email is here. I did mail them a couple of times and they replied within minutes

cheers

Interesting. But i think most suppliers in the US & EU prefer their own courier/postal service. This may work okay for ebay type purchases...

I have some Gtechniq Exo coming down with them. So far the service has been excellent. Will update when my items arrive.
