Best service for shipping items to SA

[Ap3xY]

Like the title says, what is the best service to use to ship items to SA that can't be shipped to SA by the seller.

I have seen services like MyUS and Aramex Global shopper, but don't know if the services are worth the price and how reliable they are.

If anyone has any advice on these services, please feel free to share.

I've used both, both are OK. I wouldn't recommend either of them for receiving shipments sent to you by another person though, keep them for commercial services.

Edit: The difference you need to look out for is that myUS lets you choose various carriers for the final delivery (UPS, FedEx, DHL, if memory serves) and will consolidate multiple shipments for you. Aramex will only send things on directly

• We hold your items so you can ship them together. Our Premium membership includes 30 days of free storage at our warehouse, so you can wait until multiple packages arrive, then ship them together.

If you look at the free tier, there are dashes on the

• 
  
• Free Package Consolidation
• Free Package Repacking
• Free Package Storage

How does that work? do they charge you storage or just give you a smaller window to collate the packages

Edit: so if I read this correctly, on the free tier Consolidation/Repacking and Storage are Not Available.
So might only be worthwhile if you're using their premium tier.
