If you happen to live in an area frequented by the much-maligned hipster, you may have seen one skating around – their board being towed by whatever dog breed happens to be in fashion at the time.
It looks cool, people say ‘awwww’ and snap pictures, the hipster gains power with every like – welcome to 2016.
Except 2016 is offering something that might render that dog useless (except for likes) – it’s called the Boosted Board and people across the U.S. are chomping at the bit ahead of the big release.
Here’s what they’re telling us this little gem is capable of:
With smooth braking, powerful electric motors, and simple wireless control, the Boosted board is an amazing riding experience. The 2nd generation delivers key upgrades – an extended range battery pack, water-resistant electronics, and advanced connectivity – and still has everything you love, including the Loaded bamboo deck, a high-torque drivetrain, and industry-leading customer support.
Before you ask yes, of course there’s an app that helps you navigate your way around using it.
A quick look at this one in action then whilst it cruises the streets of San Francisco, which means you know it’s about to win over a whole load of techies…
Imagine cruising down Kloof Street rocking your new Booster Board, your beard blowing in the wind as you swoop and swoon past adoring onlookers.
Hell yeah, what’s not to love? Just the one problem though – they don’t ship these beauties to South Africa.
Heartbreak, outrage, but then you remember the good folk over at Postbox Courier and all your shipping worries are solved.
For those of you who are slightly behind, Postbox Courier is the groundbreaking service that gives you a shipping address in the US, UK and Hong Kong. So if you’re buying products that don’t ship to SA then just give your U.S. address (which Postbox Courier give you) and as soon as it is delivered there (usually same day) Postbox Courier will grab it and bring it to you in South Africa in 3 to 5 days.
But the best part about Postbox Courier is that they handle your parcel every step of the way – meaning it doesn’t get “stuck” at customs here in SA – and they also make sure you don’t get stung with the wrong VAT duty.
So what are you paying for the Booster Board delivered to your door? On the standard model, with a cost of $999.00 and using an exchange rate of 14.73:
And all of that leaves us with the grand total – R19 237.74.
You can’t put a price on cool, but if you could that would be a decent enough place to start.
SO, ONE MORE TIME – HOW DO I ORDER PRODUCTS FROM OVERSEAS THAT DON’T SHIP TO SA?
You’ll be pleased to know the owners of Postbox Courier are South African. You’re in very safe hands, because you know they’re looking out for you.
