"Although in South Africa we are pretty much up to date with the dispatch of items to other countries, items that come into the country have to go through quite a complicated clearance procedures and it's best to send them now if you want make sure your Christmas gifts gets to its destination on time.”
Kruger says all air mail items - to anywhere in the world - should be posted no later than 1 December, while sea mail should be posted before 31 October.
