It’s a mission to buy goodies overseas and ship them back home to South Africa. You’re never sure how long it’s going to take, or whether you’re actually going to get them. And then, you have some online retailers that don’t ship to South Africa at all… they mark up the shipping costs so much that it’s unfeasible to buy the item you have your eye on!
That’s where Postbox-Courier comes in. They’re a South African company that provides its customers with a personal central delivery point in the New York, London and Hong Kong, to where all their online purchases can be delivered, consolidated into one delivery, and then shipped to South Africa within a 3-5 day transit time depending on final destination.
Registration is free and users get allocated personal post-box addresses at all of the company’s worldwide depots. You can then order your goods online or directly from retailers and then track your parcel to your home!
I have 3 vouchers up for grabs to the value of R 1000.00 towards the shipping charges for your purchases from the United Kingdom, Europe, USA or China – which would entitle you to a 3kg shipment from New York, 4.5kg from London or 2.75kg from Hong Kong. (Please be advised that your purchases could be subject to SARS Customs and Excise duties and VAT. If need be, you can get in touch with us for an estimation on your purchases before shopping.) How cool is that?!
So, now’s a good time to update that wishlist you’ve had brewing on Pinterest for some time, and tell me what you’d like to buy to make use of this awesome prize! Just think about all the goodies you could buy on B&H Photo, Â Amazon, Etsy or eBay without worrying about shipping!
Here’s my wishlist that I’ve started…

This is great!! I am definitely going to give it a try!
what an awesome initiative. This is perfect for me as I often import clothes in from the states and China for my business, thanks Jenty 🙂
I’m keen as I have a couple of things I would love to order from the US!
Oh my gosh! My dreams have just come true! I’ve been eyeing a pair of rollerskates for my kid. He is OBSESSED with Thomas the Tank Engine and these skates are Thomas skates. They’re on eBay from the UK but they don’t ship to SA 🙁
Right now, id really like to get a branded bullet journal.
Off to google that right now
I’ve been looking for a way of supporting my favorite podcasts. Most podcast sponsors offer US based deals and discounts. R1000 PostBox credits will put a smile on many a podcaster.
I have my eye on some speedlight modifiers.
This could be useful for Indiegogo shipments. Especially if they can advise on the appropriate harmonised codes.
I’d buy a ton of Project Life albums and actually, just browse my etsy wishlist for all the stationery I keep seeing and can’t get because they don’t ship to South Africa.
Oohh, I have been eyeing this portable hammock on Amazon for so long, but they don’t ship this item to SA from the States ☹ï¸
I’ve been eyeing some pretty awesome sterling silver running jewellery from the US, but shipping costs has made ordering it just impossible!
