| Anyone have any familiarity on shipping something over 2lbs from USA to South
Africa?
From what I can see from online quotes from the various shipping sites, it's
fairly expensive!
Buyer was not entirely concerned about the quickest way to ship the package,
although I understand their post service is not the most expedient anyway.
Any advice on where to look is much appreciated, thanks!

| Do you have a Pirate Ship account? You may want to look into their Simple Export
Rate. It's $20 to send a two-pound package overseas, which is about the cheapest
I can find. https://www.pirateship.com/simple-export-rate

| Correction: If it's over two pounds, then it's $27, not $20. That's
still much cheaper than the USPS commercial rate, though.

My only advice is to make sure it is tracked. I used to live there and if things
didn't have a tracking number and insurance they would easily go missing
