Shopping online is often a nerve-wracking experience, because even after hours of scouring sites you’re never really sure if you’re getting the best deal.
The more seasoned out there will have all their favourite local shops bookmarked for perusal, and maybe a few from overseas than can be bothered to ship things down our way.
Often that’s not enough to nail down the deal that’s easiest on the wallet, because a few helpful tips can save you a truckload of cash in the long run.
Take for example this deal on a Bushnell Pro X7 Jolt Slope Rangefinder, which a regular reader emailed in with and asked if we knew of anything better.
That’s fancy talk for a golfing aid that measures how far to the pin you have left, because we don’t all have caddies and their wealth of knowledge.
The asking price is R11 149, but we figured we could do better.
Of course we could, and we found the same rangefinder on Amazon for $350. Yes, that does equal around R4 700.
Huge saving, but then comes this clanger: Due to federal and international regulations, this product can only be shipped within the continental United States.
Not having it, we said, and asked our mates over at Postbox Courier if they could lend a hand. Here’s what they said it would cost us, in total, to have that rangefinder delivered to our door:
Grand Total R6490.96
Boom, down almost R5 000 if you know what you’re doing.
And that’s the best bit – you don’t really need to know what you’re doing. You just speak to the folks at Postbox Courier, they handle every last detail, and next thing you’ve saved yourself some cold, hard cash.
SO, ONE MORE TIME – HOW DO I ORDER PRODUCTS FROM OVERSEAS THAT DON’T SHIP TO SA?
You’ll be pleased to know the owners of Postbox Courier are South African. You’re in very safe hands, because you know they’re looking out for you.
