Tips and Questions When Shipping to South Africa

Here are some tips and frequently asked questions when shipping to South Africa. If you can't find the answer you're looking for, please visit our support pages or feel free to contact us – we're here to assist you!

When shipping to South Africa, your package must be securely packaged according to our packaging guidelines. Please ensure your shipment meets these requirements before sending your items internationally.

Your shipping label must be firmly attached to your package, with the South African delivery address and all relevant information clearly visible. We strongly recommend placing an additional label inside your shipment to ensure easy identification should the original label become damaged during international transit.

Always double-check that your shipment measurements and weight are accurate and match the details you provided when booking your South Africa delivery service.

There are numerous restricted items when shipping to South Africa. It's essential that you carefully review our Prohibited Items list to ensure your shipment doesn't contain any of these items.

When shipping to South Africa, the following items are also prohibited:

  • Antiques
  • Furs
  • Jewellery
  • Precious Metals and Stones

We also recommend reviewing our No-Compensation Items list when shipping to South Africa. Whilst these items can be sent, they won't be eligible for compensation in the rare event of damage occurring - although damage is uncommon, especially when items are packaged securely and appropriately.

Track your shipment to South Africa using our full online tracking system, allowing you to monitor your package's journey at every stage.

Deliveries in South Africa occur Monday to Friday between 9am and 6pm (excluding public holidays). Please ensure the following for a successful delivery:

  • Ensure the delivery location is accessible for the courier driver.
  • For apartment buildings, residential complexes, or hotels, deliveries typically take place at the reception area. Please ensure doorbells and buzzers are functioning properly.
  • Please be aware that drivers cannot call you directly as they are not provided with work phones.

Whilst we deliver to all locations throughout South Africa, please note that remote areas often require additional delivery time, so factor this into your shipping timeline.

All international shipments to South Africa undergo customs inspection by South African Customs authorities. Each shipment requires a complete customs declaration form with detailed information about your shipment contents. You'll need to provide a passport copy, and customs may request additional documentation. When you book your South Africa shipping service with My Baggage, we generate the necessary customs forms based on your order information - complete these conveniently online by visiting 'My Orders' after payment.

As shipments undergo inspection by both security and South African customs authorities, therefore items must remain unlocked.

South African customs may request additional documentation during clearance. Customs fees may apply when shipping to South Africa, depending on various factors including the accuracy of declared values on your customs forms. If customs fees are due, our courier partner will contact you with a detailed breakdown of charges. You can pay these fees online or by phone through our courier partner, who coordinates with South African Customs to expedite clearance and ensure swift delivery.

My Baggage offers fast international shipping services with both economy and express shipping to South Africa. You'll receive a delivery estimate when placing your order. However, we always recommend allowing extra time for unexpected delays when shipping internationally.

We don't recommend sending time-sensitive items to South Africa due to potential customs delays.

For personal effects shipments to South Africa, please note the following requirements:

  • Customers must possess a valid flight ticket to South Africa and an entry stamp on their passport.
  • You must be physically present in South Africa before customs can clear your shipment.
  • Food items should not be included in shipments to South Africa due to strict customs restrictions.
