Courier service caters for online shoppers

A new company has been

established in SA which

offers a courier service aimed

specifically at people who

shop online, or businesses

importing or purchasing

goods from the US, Europe

or Asia.

Postbox Courier

overcomes the frequent

problem for on-line shoppers

of source companies without

a reliable international

delivery service, or one which

is too pricy.

Said Gary Hamilton,

co-founder of Postbox

Courier: “We have found

that many overseas retailers

– such as Amazon, Zappos,

Light in the Box, Aliexpress

and eBay – often don’t offer

international delivery on

certain products."

With the Postbox service,

customers can now order

parts needed to repair an

appliance or the latest tech

gadget from an online

store, have it posted to their

personal postbox in that

country, and have it in their

hands in SA in a matter of

days.

Established in the UK in

2012, the company now also

has services in the US and

Hong Kong and recently

opened its operations in Cape

Town and Johannesburg.

Postbox Courier also

delivers from the UK, US

and Asia to Botswana,

Lesotho, Namibia, Swaziland

and Zimbabwe.
