    Recommended Apostille Service?

    Dirco is actually the most efficient (and amazingly no cost service for the apostillizing - is this even a word 🤣)) government institution I’ve come across in SA. Every other country I know of charges significantly for this service. The biggest wait will be getting the certificates from H/A...

    Foreign payments, what is the best system?

    There is the option of using a package forwarding service. They will use a courier of your choice (I always choose DHL because in SA their service is just a million times better than the others). You will also be able to enter the value of your shipment that will be used for payment of duties...

    What is the minimum validity on SA passport, to get back into SA?

    If you have an EU passport then I really don’t see an issue. The concern is more that you will remain in the EU rather than your ability/inability to come back to SA. When you leave SA they will check both your passports to ensure you have the right to travel where you’re going. If you for...

    Looking for car detailer JHB / South

    Apologies for my late reply - had a crazy last few days! So as you guys have worked out - the car is a Rossion Q1. How I acquired it is a long story - but in brief: back in the day (around 2008/9) I was after a pure driver’s car - something powerful but with no frills and electronic aids etc...

    Looking for car detailer JHB / South

    I had exactly this experience, and this is how I actually found the detailer mentioned above. My domestic worker - bless her soul - decided to take a dry cloth and wipe down my dusty sports car with it. She destroyed it literally. I bought all the products thinking I was going to do the work...

    Looking for car detailer JHB / South

    I would highly recommend Culture Automotive. The owner Rhyno has OCD on another level which is what you want from a detailer. They are based in Bedfordview. (010) 015-0905

    Any new ways to get Qobuz in SA?

    Thanks - I will try this to see if it works. My VPN can stream 4k video so I’m guessing an audio stream should be easy. I have some friends in Denmark that will assist me with registering. I’ll provide feedback if it works

    Any new ways to get Qobuz in SA?

    I use Express VPN and tried recently to register on Qobuz - tried a whole bunch of different servers in supported countries. They were all picked up as VPN/proxy servers by Qobuz which then blocked moving further on in the process. They obviously use some clever tech to detect and block all IP...

    What makes Sonor Audio speakers special!, the first in a series of videos narrated by the man himself Roy Witelson.

    Great vid! Having met Roy and auditioned his speakers I can firstly say that they are world class and Roy is such a humble genius. It’s great to see him sharing this type of intro and he deserves all the accolades he receives

    Japanese Pressings

    If any of the above don’t work out I use a Japanese forwarder called FromJapan. I usually buy stuff from the Yahoo auctions in Japan and I use them as an intermediary to bid etc. They don’t only cover the auctions though, as far as I’m aware. There is also another service called Buyee that you...

    Shipping from USA to SA

    Absolutely would make sense. The more merchants you buy from the more sense it makes. Bare in mind that shipping costs will still be quite high as well as potential duties but its worth the exercise imho

    Shipping from USA to SA

    All of these sites are able to provide estimates for shipping costs if you roughly know the volumetric size/weight of your package. Likely though MyUS would have better shipping rates. For CD’s I don’t know that it would be worth using a package forwarder. There is one I use in the Uk called...

    Shipping from USA to SA

    Long time lurker but my first post. I used to use MyUS for a long time and they were super efficient but as their volumes increased they became a lot more sticky with correct declarations and documentation which then became a frustration. I used OPAS then for a long time and they worked well...
