I'm asking for a friend.
Anyone know about mailing bigger items to South Africa? I want to mail PS3, Ipod, and some other electronics as gifts. Should I expect any problems? Any tips? TIA |

Nope , no worries . Not with legit goods . We're mostly quite civilised down there you know . Just don't send cash local mail ...you have a 0.01% chance of it getting grabbed...and a 100% chance of it making mainstream news and being perceived as a inevitable consequence....we're a neurotic bunch .
S.a customs are pretty nasty though . I used to try make a living bringing in t-shirts from thailand . Didn't work out well for me . |

Not true. He has found many cheaper electronic items in Korea. |
