Stop Bothering Your Mates in London! Here’s How to Shop Online From All UK Stores
Save yourself the awkward conversation of asking for favours. Here’s how to get anything you need in the UK back to SA!
Yes, global shipping options from UK retailers to South Africa are a thing, but not all stores do it, and the ones that do often come with a hefty cost, limited options, and a long waiting time. Hence why so many South Africans beg their friends and family visiting from London to cram their suitcases with all those things you have your eyes on in the UK. But, did you know that there’s a way to open up every UK retailer to get your hands on their goods from back here in the Republic, and save money in the process?
The trick is to open a UK postal address, therefore adding a ‘local’ delivery option upon checkout when shopping online. Of course, getting one set up can be a pain, and further getting the goods from your UK postal address to SA isn’t easy; but this is where Postbox Courier comes in.
Postbox Courier is a parcel forwarding and courier company that not only provides you with a UK postal address (score!), but they also then forward the items from your new shiny UK address to SA, ensuring that your shipment has the most affordable and efficient route to your front door.
Save cash in the process
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.
Some services even offer 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 UK shipping address, then check out Postbox Courier, sign-up for free, and get your dedicated address in London or a number of other depots. Then, you can shop, ship your goods there, and pay based on your orders to get the items back to South Africa.
