See how mine looks, compared to yours?
Also, leave street address 2 blank.
If you don't come right, use the ebay app as sometimes it is more forgiving.
You can also change your region much easier when using the app. Change it to UK when buying from the UK as most sellers only ship locally. You'll see very few results if your region is USA and you're looking in ebay.co.uk.

Did a check-up on a few items that I saved and bookmarked and shipping costs were the same as before lockdown. Product prices have changed slightly but that's it on my side.
They were 2 shipping options available, one was global saver (iirc) and global priority. Whereas now there is only the more expensive option available (global priority)
Definitely waaay more expensive. On average R500!

There will probably be an update tomorrow in the news if all went well.

There is a shipping calculator on both the app and on the website.
Amazon usually give the weight of items they sell. Make sure you add on weight for box and packaging.
If your order is over $35 you will probably be charged duty and then 15% vat on everything (invoice amount and duty).
A very loose way of calculating duty is like this - if its made here, there's duty. (clothes, shoes, makeup).
If it isn't made here there probably won't be duty, or if there is, it won't me that bad. (laptop, camera).
Phones and TV's are made here (Hisense), so expect some form of duty.
As I said, a very loose way of calculation. If you want a more accurate way, visit the SARS website.

Thanks. It’s actually collectibles. Props from a tv show.
Cant download import reg documents from SARS. Tried a few times since I import waaay more than 3 times a year.
My Nivea Nvidia Shield Pro's weight, according to AGS, is over 6,3 kg !!!
According to specs it should only be around 1,2kg(with packaging incl) !!
AGS wants to charge me R2500 for shipping- crazy #$^$%^
Wrote then a long letter.

Happiness, charging me the old rate, so will refund me. As for weight, no mention of it. But its fine, still under a kg, so possible Amazon made a mistake

Don't worry, you can ask JHB to re-weigh parcel. Is it a Nvidea Shield Pro? Or are you into face cream?
LOL - that made me laugh !! "Nvidia" not the lotion.
Do I just log a query via their website ?

Use your browser to open that particular shipment. At the bottom of the page you will see a link. Click it and ask them to re-weigh the shipment.
I suggest you gently and clearly explain why you have your doubts about the accuracy. The Aramex people are going to be very stressed, dealing with a hell of a backlog when they reopen after deep cleaning, and being nice costs nothing and gains much.
