Here are Some of the Awesome International Products You CAN Get to SA
Get that elusive foreign item you’ve had your eye on with this handy service.
Ever been window shopping around online, watching your favourite podcast, YouTuber, or celebrity, and discovered an awesome item they sell, only to be let down by the fact that it’s only available in the US or UK? 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.
We’ve highlighted some of the coolest items around, ones which have featured on the likes of the Joe Rogan Experience, Huberman Lab, Boyscast, and other influential podcasts and YouTube shows; but whereas in the past it was only for their subscribers, you can now get your hands on them via Postbox Courier.

Füm
Any smokers or vapers looking to shift away from their habit will want to take note of Füm. Physiology shows stopping a bad habit cold turkey is very hard on your brain, so Füm works by replacing your hand-to-mouth fixation, calming nervous tension through fidgeting, and distracting you from your bad habit with delicious flavour. It’s essentially a small wooden pipe that has no vapour and no nicotine — just delicious natural-flavoured air. Füm is created around the principles of scent and flavour through aromatherapy. The company uses natural plant extracts, held within filtering fibres (Cores), to deliver the aromas of the plants to your olfactory system. When using Füm, you draw in through the mouthpiece and out through your nose. The Complete Core Bundle Journey Pack comes with enough Core packs to last you approximately 1 month of repeated use.
AG1
You’ve probably heard AG1 being promoted by one of your favourite podcasters or YouTubers in the States, such as beloved health and wellness podcaster Dr. Andrew Huberman, and for good reason. AG1 (previously known as Athletic Greens) is a popular greens supplement that includes 75 vitamins, minerals, probiotics, whole food-sourced plant compounds, and adaptogens meant to support energy levels, immune health, gut health, healthy ageing, and hormonal and neural health.
Tiege Hanley
If you follow any men’s lifestyle and grooming content creators on YouTube, there’s no doubt you would’ve heard of Tiege Hanley. Marketed as “uncomplicated skincare for men”, the brand is all about taking the guesswork out of every man’s morning and nighttime routine, with a product range to simplify the process but deliver amazing results. Alternatively, there are customised options too, whereby you can have your very own skincare pack curated for your particular needs.
Beam
Beam is all about all about improving your sleep. It comes in powder form and is essentially a delicious cup of healthy hot cocoa that has been clinically shown to improve your sleep (93% of people found better sleep quality in a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study after taking Beam). Superfoods and important ingredients like nano hemp, reishi, magnesium, L-theanine, and melatonin, all contribute to giving you the best sleep each and every night, and having it in a simple powder form makes it incredibly easy to use every night.
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, 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.
