What we don’t handle, and why

Some items fall outside this service: firearms, medical devices, perishables, live assets, and anything requiring import permits not already obtained.

These boundaries keep every accepted consignment predictable, insurable, and fully accountable.

How we protect every consignment

Insured courier-only transport

Single-courier, fully insured movement with a clear chain of custody and cover aligned to declared value.

Compliance-first customs

Classification, valuation, and documentation completed before shipment — fewer delays, disputes, and surprise costs at SA customs.

Confidentiality by default

Controlled communication and minimal documentation exposure, shared strictly on a need-to-know basis.

Single point of accountability

One provider accountable from first assessment to final delivery in South Africa — no fragmented chains.

Request a Private Assessment

Specialist and high-value items only. Each request is reviewed individually to confirm suitability, compliance, and logistics feasibility. Handled discreetly, via email only.

    Tnx for the great service, package arrived a few minutes ago.

    I placed the order on the 12th of Jan , thought it would take at least three weeks.

    Great communication, pleasure to deal with… excellent service all round!

    Highly recommended!!!

    Sarfaraaz Munshi

    I have used Scott’s Shipping Services to bring equipment from Eastern Europe and the USA.  In both cases, the service was great, as swift as importing can be and they kept me up to date every step of the way.  A great service to deal with.

    Another package arrived safe and sound this morning, admittedly, the contents are a piece of Schiit but it will be fun……thanks

    Thanks again SSS. Always a brilliant service!!

    Jonny P

    Thanks Scott, just received my UK goods. I can highly recommend SS, always very quick to reply to any enquiries and delivery on time as promised.

    Finally got my belated birthday gift from myself to myself.

    Sent a request late last night and got a reply in literally less than 5 minutes with a price on a Braun Shaver which Amazon won’t ship to SA.

    I asked him for a couple of other prices as well and each time he replied in no time.

    I placed a order for the Braun Shaver with him and made payment earlier today, so far I have received excellent service, thank you!

    Nickus de Vos

    Excellent service! Step by step communication. I will definitely use Scott’s Shipping Services again. They exceeded my expectations. Well done.

    Christo Koekemoer

    Quick response

    Ettiene Hoffman

    Ordered 2 items off Amazon.com (US) on the evening of the 2nd of March – contacted Scott’s Shipping Services, sent me a quote within half an hour, and had my items delivered to my door this morning.

    Great service… will definitely be using you again!

    Robert Martin

    I used Scott’s Shipping a while back to get something off Amazon US into SA. Was a painfree and stressfree experience.

    Can definitely recommend using him if you want to get something into the country.

    Warren Groenewald

    I made use of Scotts to get a motor for my Vorwerk vacuum cleaner. Although Amazon.de do ship to SA, they dropped me, but I did get a refund. Scott got it for me for half the price of what Vorwerk SA sells them for. Great service with regular updates. I can highly recommend him. Remember, you might pay more for shipping with him, but it is guaranteed. No SAPO or crap like that. You will get what you are looking for.

    Martin

    Thanks very much for the great service, especially after you mentioned the small quoting mishap and you took it upon yourself to complete the deal regardless.

    You offer a great service and I will happily deal with you again !!

    Richard S

    Used SSS for a delivery to Durban.

    Great service and package delivered in half the time he stated.

    Well done sir!

    Ivo peres

    Received my mac book pro internal cable from the states that i ordered, and it arrived in no time and in perfect condition will definitely be doing more business like this!!.

    Nicholas De Nuzzo

    Great service, item was from Massdrop who don’t deliver to South Africa. Highly recommended

    Michael Pentz

    I just wanted to give a big thanks to Scott’s Shipping Services. I ordered some car parts via SSS from the USA. Great feedback every step of the way and will definitely make use of SSS for any future imports!

    Clinton Leask

    Hi SSS

    Thank you for my Mini DSP that you kindly imported for myself

    Much appreciated

    Chris Oliver

    It was a lengthy process with a few hick-ups, out of the control of Scott’s Shipping Services….but it was well worth the wait. My shipment was delivered in excellent condition & as promised. I would really recommend the services of this company…..friendly & swift replies to all my emails & super communication. Couldn’t have done it without them. WELL DONE SSS! I will surely make use of your services again.

    Christo Waldeck

    I feel I must openly thank SSS for the service he apparently provided to someone I know.

    This person wanted to buy a phone for someone else and I directed him to Scott’s Shipping Services but explained to him that the guy is on holiday in the UK.

    Scott apparently answered the guy so quickly and professionally, even whilst on holiday which is very impressive.

    Scott, thanks very much for sorting the guy out with the phone, really appreciate it and apologies for him bothering you while you were on holiday.

    Clive Thomas

    Absolutely stoked with the service received by SSS. Scott and Co helped me ship a 300KG vending machine over from China and they handled everything, and last friday I received the machine after much anticipation. Would definitely trust them to handle my next shipment and recommend their service to anyone who needs a reliable shipping company!

    Jarryd

    Scotts Shipping is brilliant. Quick response to quotes and very helpful with queries. Delivery was super fast. Thank you.
