Frequently asked questions
How long does forwarding to South Africa take?
We ship on the working day after your approval; the transit time depends on the carrier and on customs. Where we have a reliable figure it is shown on this page under delivery time; otherwise ask us before you order.
What does a parcel to South Africa cost?
The starting price on this page covers a 1 kg parcel of 20 × 20 × 10 cm including handling and packaging. Heavier or larger parcels are priced instantly in the calculator; bundling several parcels into one shipment is usually the cheapest option.
Do I pay import duty in South Africa?
Yes. South Africa is outside the EU: import duty and VAT are charged on arrival and are excluded from our price. We declare the real purchase value; declaring a lower value is customs fraud and we never do that.

Yes. After signing up you receive your own customer code and our delivery address in the Netherlands. You enter that address at the web shop; we receive the parcel and forward it to South Africa.
Can I bundle several orders to South Africa?
Yes. We store the parcels that arrive for you and, at your request, send them as one shipment to South Africa. You then pay shipping once instead of per parcel.
Can I track my shipment to South Africa?
Yes. Every shipment gets its own tracking page with the status at our warehouse and the courier information once the parcel is on its way to South Africa.
Which Dutch web shops can I order from?
From any Dutch web shop that delivers to our address, such as bol.com, Coolblue, Zalando and Wehkamp; other shops work the same way.
