Which services are available for sending luggage to South Africa and how much will I pay?
We offer a range of economical services for sending your luggage over to South Africa. If you have a modest load, you can save valuable cash by sharing a shipping container and only forking out for the part that you are using. You could also use air freight if you need a quick service. Air freight can be costly, so some people send essentials over via the air and get the rest over by sea. Costs for air freight can be reduced if you’re willing to go to the airport and pick up the goods in person. Air freight costs are more expensive largely because prices are decided by weight.
