Chinese Shops using Buffalo Express

[mister]

Hey all,

So far I've found the following shops that ship to ZA using Buffalo: (http://www.buffaloex.com/index_en.html)

http://www.gearbest.com
http://www.banggood.com

Are there any others?

Geekbuying also has a priority line shipping option for most products, not sure if it's buffalo tho. Sunsky has good aramex shipping with good delivery times

Is Buffalo Express the SA direct mail option on Banggood?

Newfrog.com / cesdeals.com (same thing) also has a direct line option that uses buffaloex.

Is Buffalo Express the SA direct mail option on Banggood?

Yes. Should be two options, SA Direct Mail, and SA Direct Mail (Tax Free).

With Tax Free Banggood pays the customs. With the other option you pay the taxes. It's worked out cheaper for me to take the first option and the tariff insurance where they refund you anything paid.

Thanks for the tip on using the first option. Also better to pay the customs upon receiving the goods in the country.

Which delivery option did you use to get Buffalo?

The direct line delivery. Just be careful, their "free for over $40" calculation is a bit off afaik. I had to add something small to trigger the free delivery.

When enough people complain about packages that never arrive they will see the light.

People will just not order so they won't realize it. Those big Chinese stores don't care about delivering to SA because once you sell large items if it gets lost in post then they make big losses. Also will large and duties items customs get more nosy and can put much bigger duties on , the customer bears the loss if he doesn't want to pay customs.

Result is the only places that care are the Temu, Shein, gearbest and banggood with limited cheap no-name stock deliver reliably to SA because they can't compete with good manufacturer themselves or with sites like aliexpress. These shitty sites with limited cheap stock are forced to use reliable delivery with short delivery times to make money. Supplier on aliexpress don't care about South Africa so will charge huge delivery fees or simply not ship here.
