There are two kinds of people in this world: those who shop for their Christmas presents well in advance, and those who scurry around on Christmas Eve, battling the crowds and sending their blood pressure. through the roof.

For the latter, we offer a few somewhat sympathetic condolences, but we’re here to help those who like to plan further ahead.

Black Friday has come and gone, and if you didn’t do your Christmas shopping then, you may be looking abroad to see what deals you can score on the likes of Amazon, eBay, and Harrods.

There are few things more frustrating than finding the perfect gift, at a cracking price, only to find out that it doesn’t ship to South Africa.

If you find yourself in that boat, then you’re going to love Postbox Courier, the groundbreaking service that gives you a shipping address in the US, UK and Hong Kong.

The mechanics here are pretty simple. You find the product you want, which you can now send to the overseas-based address you’re given, you get a free quote for the cost of having it delivered to your door in South Africa, and if you’re happy, you pull the trigger.

Because it’s a ‘pay as you go’ service, there are no setup fees or subscription fees.

There’s also the important fact that Postbox Courier works out every cost incurred before the parcel arrives, so you know what you’re in for, and you’ll never have to worry about dealing with Customs and those other hassles.

Order your goods, send them to the free overseas address you’re provided with, and they land on your doorstep within five working days.

Presents sorted, feet up, enjoy your holiday.

Beats cruising around the local mall at 7PM on Christmas Eve with all the other last-minute shoppers, right?
