Take Back Your Time & Health with These Unique Products

As the world becomes more and more inundated with technology, there are also a handful of gadgets and products that can help save you time, rather than rob you of it. Furthermore, some new-age tech can even improve and simplify your life, making your day-to-day feel a whole lot calmer. We’ve rounded up some of the most exciting gadgets out there, and how to get them to South Africa:

Bloom

Bloom is one of the most unique time-saving products around. It’s a credit card (of sorts), although the credit is actually your attention span. You use Bloom’s NFC-enabled card to ‘unlock’ your phone’s social media apps, not only making it a chore, but also a physical action, which further highlights exactly how much time and how often you actually spend doomscrolling. This can be programmed to work with certain websites or other activities that are soaking up way too much time in your life.

Nothing Headphones

If you’re a techie, you’re probably familiar with the Nothing Phone. The brand has accumulated quite a following, and has now branched into the audio department with the Nothing Headphones. These are the trendiest headphones right now, providing a very minimalist design, noise canceling and a beefed-up battery life that can last days.

Eight Sleep Pod

While you may have a smart sleep tracker, you don’t have a smart bed! Eight Sleep’s Pod is a mattress that has embedded sensors that detect your sleeping patterns, heart rate and more with clinical-grade precision. The pod can then adjust conditions to suit your sleeping (or improve it), even adjusting the temperature on the left and right sides of the bed so you and your partner can have customised sleeping experiences. There is also an additional base and blanket that you can buy, which would adjust your posture and temperature, respectively.

What about getting these products to South Africa?

While we do get a lot of great tech in South Africa, the reality is that many of these innovative brands only ship in the US and key regions. But, we’ve got you covered: you can use Postbox Courier to get anything from the US to South Africa, irrespective of shipping constraints.

Create a free account

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.
