You haven’t lived until you’ve engaged in a little online ‘window shopping’, chucking items you really want into your cart, before abandoning ship because you just don’t have the bucks.

Admit it, we’ve all been there.

Then there’s the nasty surprise that comes with selecting your item, going through the delivery details, and then being stung with a huge delivery cost.

How can the delivery cost be more than the item? How? Worse yet, your item doesn’t deliver to South Africa.

Deep breaths, one must remain calm.

Anyway by now you’ve surely heard of Postbox Courier. The company allows South Africans to shop online around the world, grouping their purchases to central delivery points in the US, UK, Australia and Hong Kong, and then receive them via door-to-door courier at their specified address in SA within 3-5 days.

It’s all really simple – the basics below, before we drop the good news about their giveaway:

To start you off on your international shopping adventure (there’s a whole world out there), Postbox Courier is giving away vouchers worth US $1 000 to one lucky customer.

At the current exchange rate that’s vouchers worth in excess of R13 000 – boom.

Entering is really easy – Visit www.postbox-courier.com to create your FREE account (signing up only takes a minute), and stand a chance of winning an Amazon shopping voucher worth $500, plus $500 worth of shipping.

This means you can select your prize worth a cool six or seven grand, and then have it shipped over this side of the world without spending a cent.

They’re also offering discount shipping vouchers to registered users until the end of August.

Pro tip – sort out some Christmas presents now and avoid the madness that is December. Foresight is your friend.
