The “Loot Crate” service is now officially available in South Africa.
“Loot Crate is a monthly mystery crate for gamers, geeks and fans of pop culture, delivering cool (and often exclusive!) items like collectibles, t‑shirts, gadgets and more. There’s a $45+ value in every crate!”
The American-based company recently expanded it’s deliveries to 34-additional countries including South Africa, following tremendous success in the States.
Below are the various pricing options available:
Note: These prices do not necessarily include import or post office fees, so expect to pay slightly more than quoted.
It is worth noting that a South African alternative, Geek Crate, was launched late last year, but it appears that the service is on-hold indefinitely.

Well thanks to the SA Postal service, it’s a waste. So many that goes through them either arrives months later or never arrive at all. Anyone who really wants any of these US sub goodie boxes are better off using a 3rd party service like Aramex Global Shopper.
Also it’s not once-off, at-one-PO, only-happened-to-me type issues, but literally over the last decade, myself and friends have had things just go missing, arrive months late, or actually had packages opened and things stolen by the post office. Not saying all of them are like that or that things will always go missing, but it brings to light that the level of service that’s apparent and the weak system they have that prevents these things from happening.
On point, I have a buddy who used the SA Lootcrate option. He bought the Dec 2015 (so ordered in Nov 2015) one I think and he only got his box like Feb or March. Even though the Lootcrate service told him his package was in SA in Dec already.
TL;DR: if it’s something international that comes through the SA Postal service, reconsider.
