Send Your Parcels to South Africa at Great Prices
South Africa’s biggest imports are machinery, mineral products as well as vehicles and aircraft vessels. Combined, they make up almost 50% of their imports. The UK has a good relationship with South Africa and ranks highly among its top trading partners alongside China, the USA and India.
Being almost 10,00km away from the UK, customers assume that sending parcels to South Africa is a costly venture, but not with us. Our team has built strong and credible relationships with South Africa to ensure we’re able to offer the best parcel delivery prices.
We guarantee to save your business money, time, and effort when it comes to shipping parcels to South Africa. We also work closely with eCommerce businesses to provide significant savings on transporting parcels from the UK to South Africa (more on this later).
Whether you’re an SME or a large agency, we work with all businesses to save them money and provide a fully comprehensive parcel delivery service that exceeds all expectations.
