PSA to those with a habit of forgetting these sorts of things.

Sunday, June 20, is Father’s Day in South Africa, as in many countries around the world.

Maybe you’re the sort who buys your dad a few golf balls, and that’s fine, but if you are thinking of going big, here’s something to consider.

Amazon has an entire section devoted to Father’s Day deals, with some goodies reduced by as much as 35%.

The list will grow as the day nears, but at present, you can score discounts on earbuds, smartwatches, leather duffel bags, wallets, and much more.

The retailer, in a voice you can imagine is sort of judging, advises that people start making those purchases now, rather than waiting until the week before.

That’s especially prudent advice when ordering from South Africa, in order to make sure things arrive in time. If you are the sort to leave it late, we’ll remind you that Postbox Courier will get deliveries to your door, within three to five working days of the courier service receiving them at an overseas address.

There’s also a larger, curated section of goodies for Father’s Day, not all of which are on special yet, broken down into handy sections.

I went down the wormhole, and now my basket is filled with things that I really want, and I’m no closer to choosing a gift.

Boom – golf balls added.

One of the downsides of shopping from Amazon is that some items do not ship to South Africa.

This means the shipping and import costs will be charged separately by the shipping company, which contacts you once your product arrives at customs here in South Africa.

There is the potential for a nasty surprise, as well as a delay in getting your goods from customs.

Once more, Postbox Courier will provide you with a quote, free of charge, for all the costs involved in getting your delivery to your door, which includes customs charges, VAT, and those other costs that can sometimes catch you unawares.

It’s still worth ordering your goodies soon, if only because you know leaving it until tomorrow means it’s unlikely to ever happen.

Nothing worse than a dad who is not angry, just disappointed.
