I can assist with the importation of items(up to 30kg packed weight) from a wide range of international locations(eg: ebay, amazon, newegg etc etc).

Exclusive use of insured courier services so packages arrive faster and more reliably than normal post delivery and much cheaper than standard online store courier rates.

To your door anywhere in South Africa.

Payment can be done via EFT or credit card through PayPal. Up to $650 purchase price available via EFT or $10 000 via PayPal.

Please contact for a quote on anything you may be interested in. Quotation includes purchase price, shipping and duties/VAT, only one payment required.

Want something unavailable in South Africa but:
• Seller won't ship to SA?
• Worried about the unreliability of standard post?
• Concerned about the complexities of international shopping and shipping?
• Don't have a credit card?

Pop me a PM or email on jsdkirby@gmail.com!

Every now and then I'll have some USD available, this skips a set of bank charges resulting in a slightly cheaper rate I can offer.

USD Currently Available

$300

Assuming item is in stock from Amazon US, how long is delivery time to here?
 
Delivery is around 3 weeks from anywhere, usually less but I don't like to guarantee that as things sometimes do get delayed.
 
What about devices with batteries inside them? Like smartphones, smart watches etc.
I heard that due to new IAFA regulations that these are no longer allowed.
 
Batteries are an issue and I deal with it on a case by case basis.

Spare batteries not installed in anything are always barred from flights, out of the UK batteries installed in items don't seem to cause problems, the US is usually a bit more strict unfortunately.
 
You've probably got this question already. What would the price for a pixio or other korean screens be?

Question 1, is this legal? Just asking, please dont be offended I want to know.

2nd question, can you import car parts?

If you get me the info of the type you are looking for I'll supply a quote, quotes are done on an individual basis.

Yes it's entirely legal, all duties etc are paid as they should be.

For the many emails received that asked: no I will not "label it as something else" or "give SARS a $20 invoice", NO exceptions.

I can do car parts, affordability is dependent on the weight of the parts and be aware that most car spares carry a 20% import duty.

EDIT: I see editing falls away after a bit, $120 remaining, difference is only a couple %, just a set of banking charges missed.

Hi All

People seem to be getting the wrong idea that this is a snuck under the fence or el-cheapo way of getting stuff in...

It's not.

This is a convenience service for stuff you need safely brought to SA in a reasonable time-frame, with zero hassle and that is not available locally. Local stockists will generally be cheaper than me, they order in bulk, sea freight it and get dealer pricing, please don't ask me to beat a local store's price, I can't.

As an example, a PC case that costs $80 and weighs 13kg is not economical to airfreight in.

I also use live rates, it's fairer on you, and minimizes my risk, the quotes are therefore only valid for 48hrs or if there's a wild exchange swing EITHER way, you can score if the rate drops like it currently is now.

Cheers
Scott

You should also say that you have to buy it as that is what you told me.
It has to be in your name?

Yes that is correct, I am the importer, using my import number so invoice and proof of payment submitted needs to be in my name.

If there's any other questions anyone has please don't hesitate to ask.
 
Had a few requests for this:

YES, I can do water cooling stuff no problem.
 
Hi

Could you please send me quote on light saber from the US

Hmmm wonder if that's covered under ITAR... Importer joke, don't worry...

Could you PM me a few more details please of what you're looking for exactly. I'm presuming a Star Wars replica type thing, quick search on eBay shows these go anywhere from $10-$5000

I probably know the answer to this already, but Livestock? Mainly Insects? Is that doable? (I know Tarantulas aren't allowed to be imported)

Unfortunately not, don't think they would have a very nice trip...
