Shipping options
 

Does anybody have any companies they trust that they can recommend that ship by sea freight? I might have some decent sized orders to ship to Africa and I'm not trying to get raped in shipping fees.

All recommendations are welcome!

depends on the size,UPS has sea freight.
USPS is still the cheapest rate,also join some group (XNPRESS??) to get some DHL discount

Do you need tracking to prove delivery,if it is sold on Ebay,you could get INR IF YOU USE sea

Re: Shipping options
 

Its completely unrelated to eBay, so tracking isn't necessary, I just want to make sure it gets there without taking TOO long.

Thanks for the recommendation

Maybe if it is without tracking can get lost easily in Africa depending which zone,
Try also to che check online some comparators of shipping companies like "monkey parcel "

Re: Shipping options
 

Non ebay order,if they pay with credit card or Paypal,no tracking,you will lose if they said they did not get it.
mail delivery may not be so good in many parts of Africa

Re: Shipping options
 

The deals will be with big companies in Africa, so I'm not worried about non-payment or theft, the channels I am going through are legit. I won't be taking payment via PayPal as deals of this potential size shouldn't be using a service that can rob your money if they wake up on the wrong side of the bed that morning.

I am ultimately trying to make sure the goods arrive "safely" into the hands of the correct people, and for the best price possible.

Thank you guys for chiming in, if anyone else has any additional references, please do share!
