Favourite Product Overseas? Here’s How to Get It to South Africa
Ever been window shopping around online and spotted an awesome item that you must have, only to be let down by the fact that it’s from an online retailer who only operates in the US, UK, or somewhere else abroad? Don’t worry, this happens a lot, and while many big-name retailers are shipping to SA, the reality is that it’s expensive, often inflexible, and many of the smaller, more boutique stores don’t ship globally at all.
Whether it’s a rubber ducky alarm clock, a pair of limited edition sneakers, or some UK-only makeup brand, you don’t have to watch and wait for a friend or relative to travel that side of the world in order to bring it back for you. You can use Postbox Courier to get your hands on anything your heart desires, irrespective of shipping constraints.

All you need to do is sign-up with Postbox Courier and you’ll get your own personal address allocated to you in the US, UK, or other regional depots, then allowing you to use that address when purchasing from US, UK, or other international stores. If they only ship locally, well, you now have a local address — winning!
You’ll also be able to save money, and this is because parcel forwarding companies like Postbox Courier often have local and international courier partners, allowing for the best rates for express shipping, something individual shops won’t be able to offer you.
Thanks to Parcel Forwarding Services, shoppers now have options, but finding a company that you can trust is the challenge. There are a lot of options available online, but as most online shoppers know, not everybody is trustworthy. Thankfully, Postbox Courier is not only a local South African company, but we’ve put them to the test!
Pssst, parcel consolidation saves you money
On top of getting items you wouldn’t usually have access to, Postbox Courier also offers parcel consolidation. This is extremely beneficial for people who shop with multiple retailers or want to bundle a number of international orders into one larger package, in order to save costs doing multiple shipments.
Postbox Courier offers free package consolidation, which is even better and then just leaves you with the singular shipping cost alone.
So, if you have your heart set on something you can’t buy without a US shipping address, then check out Postbox Courier, sign-up for free, and get your dedicated address in New York, London, or in many other key spots around the world. Then, you can shop, ship your goods there, and pay based on your orders to get the items back to South Africa.
