No one here recommending Fedex (Supaswift)? I've always found them to have the cheapest prices and they are pretty reliable.
Also, Fastway is great, but there are often packages that get delayed and excuses from drivers etc, so just keep that in mind when using them...
(And obviously, also keep in mind that they don't deliver countrywide)

We use these guys, http://www.fastway.co.za/ and they are more reliable than DHL (I got a package today, it was sent via air freight about 6 weeks ago from China, DHL then sent it to Australia, sent it back to South Africa then wanted us to pay double the clearance as it was part of 2 parcels that were sent seperately and we paid clearance on both when we had the first one cleared).

+1 for Fastway

For valuable items, DHL.

Time Freight is also pretty good, used them a couple of times in the past. Pretty much Dawn Wing under a different name (all part of DPD Laser). Price was good and they were quite quick/reliable.

One of my clients suggested I check out SkyNet as well, can't remember why I decided not to use them - think (THIIIINK) it was a cost issue.

Time Freight i - This is the worst experience I ever had --- Please save yourself endless call for weeks to get your delivery

DHL seriously badly let down a friend awaiting a visa. She missed her flight and they offered her only HALF the additional airfare! Still under negotiation 2 months later but I will never use DHL again. That is seriously bad service and response!!
