Importing Goods from overseas

[Wyvern]

i've lost about +- 8 0r 9 Sapo packages in the 4 years i've been ebaying and total value lost is probably 2 to 3000 rands

I know its weird, we have been very lucky so far. I have even had parcels sent back to me that people never collected.

You see that's my problem right there, I know that Amazon use proper couriers to do things.

I seem to remember that at one stage, they stopped shipping to SA altogether because of the post office. I feel much safer with couriers anyway

Well, that was the only time I ordered anything from Amazon, but it was awesome. Arrived in 2-3 days, hand delivered to my office. They only let you do priority shipping for Kindle products though, so it was the extra good shipping option
