How to Get a Whoop in South Africa, And Save

Whoops are all the rage. With the rise of sports and fitness trackers, along with the running and workout culture at an all-time high, it was only time that the recovery world would see some action. Whoops are the de facto tracking devices that put an emphasis on recovery and helping you monitor sleep, strain, stress, and heart health to make sure you get a more comprehensive look at your body as opposed to a simple step-counter.

Of course, being an American company, Whoops are not easily available all over the world, so we South Africans tend to lose out, having to hunt down Whoops via third-party resellers, who themselves have limited stock and no range of models, and not to mention many of the devices are refurbished or second-hand.

Whoop does say they ship worldwide, but just from some personal anecdotes, it can be quite the journey itself, being expensive and leaving you with an incredibly long wait time, on top of hoping that your device even makes it through the ole Post Office (we’ve heard some horror stories about some expensive things going missing).

So, how can you get hold of a Whoop? Well, by using Postbox Courier, of course. By using South Africa’s own Postbox Courier, you can open up the ability to shop from any store in the US or UK, including other tech retailers who have sales and specials on Whoops all the time, along with getting a fast-tracked delivery option. Postbox Courier use their global courier partners to get you your item as fast as possible, and streamlining the customs process if need be.

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 in the UK or US, well, you now have a local address — winning! Postbox Courier will then forward the parcel(s) from your remote depot to your doorstep in South Africa.

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.

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.
