How Wishlists & Parcel Forwarding Can Help You Score Big This Black Friday

As we gear up for another exciting Black Friday shopping season, we’re taking a look at why embracing wishlists and a parcel forwarding service can transform your shopping experience this year.

Here’s why you should create your wishlists early on your favourite online stores and why South Africans shouldn’t sell themselves short with just local deal hunting.

Swift and seamless shopping

Creating a saved wishlist of your must-have products on your favourite online stores is an easy way to plan your Black Friday shopping and ensure you don’t go over budget. Having a clear plan of what you need and want before the sales are announced is a great way to avoid impulse purchases that may blow your budget. The wishlist feature built into most large online retailers, like Amazon.com, while seemingly small, can help shoppers maintain control over their budgets during the excitement of holiday sales.

Having a wishlist ready to go will also allow for quick payments to significantly reduce checkout times during the Black Friday rush.

Expand your horizons

Don’t let geography dictate which deals you can take advantage of. Just because you’re in South Africa, doesn’t mean you can’t capitalise on the epic Black Friday deals on offer in the USA. Online stores like Amazon.com, Walmart, Target, Ulta and Sephora are all known to offer incredible Black Friday deals. With the help of a parcel forwarding service like the super reliable Postbox Courier, you can shop them all rather than being left out in the dark simply because you’re in the good ole Republic!

Maybe there’s an item you need that just isn’t available locally. Well, now is your chance to not only get that must-have item to SA but also to save big while you’re at it.

Black Friday is just a few days away but you don’t have to wait to get the best deals. Walmart is already advertising early Black Friday deals of up to 70% off electronics, fashion, beauty, home decor and more. Amazon.com is also advertising pre-Black Friday deals with daily deals up to 70% off must-have products including fitness gear, electronics, and beauty. Beauty giant, Ulta is also kicking things off early with women’s beauty and men’s grooming special offers up to 40% off before Black Friday. Save on skincare, makeup, fragrances and haircare before the mad rush on Black Friday.

Once you have all your purchases lined up, forget paying multiple international shipping costs (in dollars no less) from multiple stores and waiting with bated breath to see if it arrives in South Africa safely. With Postbox Courier you can get all your shopping done in the USA and send it to your unique USA address for consolidation. Postbox Courier will then bundle all your orders together into one easy shipment to forward to SA for you. They’ll even assist with the calculation and payment of any import duties due to SARS and better still, deliver your consolidated parcel straight to your door!
