I sort of tested it. I chose Middle East Express at checout thought, but due to the claims that it is only for items below R500, I believe I mayhave ecperienced what they are saying. Ordered 2 covers and 2 screenguards which totalled R100 on Oct.4. I received the items yesterday.

I am also struggling to select the South African shipping option. Only seeing the middle east express. Or do i not understand this correctly?
 
it seems that you chose the middle east option, and it kinda defaulted to SA priority.
there are items i've checked exactly like the screenshot by the OP, that will give you the SA option. and compared to Middle East option,SA is cheaper.
 
Is there a limit on amount of shipments a year? I remember people picking up shit with Icsa
 
How do they ship so cheap and so quickly?

Now if AliExpress could do the same.....
 
So first hick up. They haven't shipped yet because they say my postal code is wrong which is not the case.
 
Not working with the mi band 3 which is odd. I added a similar valued item and I get the SA express option. Seems to be available on selected items only.
 
just did the mi band 3 on SA option.
lets see
 
Will try this out soon, sounds promising.
 
Anyone recieved anything yet within the advertised time frame?
 
Here is my experience so far with Buffalo (Cheap Gearbest Option) with only two phone covers.

Order Confirmed
 
According to a posts on MYBB it's from a courier company based in JHB East.
I'm unsure exactly what is meant by the customs bit-I doubt you can avoid that??
I've placed an order for 2 covers for a OnePlus 6 which came to R190 all inclusive yesterday. Will see how long it will take once "shipped"
Yes,the import tariff included if you choose South Africa express.
 
I think I will actually be more keen to order now with that piece of mind option, but will await reviews of this method from users who do frequently purchase from Gearbest. Looking forward to being able to utilize a South African directed option. Nice to see Gearbest is trying to accommodate us!
Yeah,we are trying our best to provide the best service.;)
