This service is incredible when it…
This service is incredible when it comes to fast delivery as my parcel took 3 days to ship to me from the US (definitely will continue business here as process was quick and hassle-free).....BUT falls short when it comes to prices. Used this courier company as part of an experiment to compare with 2 other intl. courier companies (ordered the same cosmetic items, all from one company with +- same weight and price, just used different delivery services) and PBC was the only one to charge me a customs fee on my parcel. The PBC clearance, customs duties and VAT charged was 60% the total value of the actual items inside the box and they didn’t even open it ‘to check’ - incredibly disappointing as I always import cosmetics items of +-R500 and NEVER get charged. Clearly a quick buck was made here. Cant't put all the blame on PBC though. Besides that, the shipping from the US to SA cost more than the total value of the items. So essentially, you don’t save a dim, you spend the same amount of money just buying the same items locally. Food for thought friends.
