On May 30, the US celebrates Memorial Day, which honours the men and women who have died while serving in the US military.

That’s not an occasion that screams online deals and discounts but many US retailers do actually run specials in the week leading up to May 30.

Memorial Day also marks the unofficial start to summer in the US which is why there are so many discounts on items like camping gear, braais (yes, they call them grills and barbeques), and the like.

You’re not going to order those from overseas – they’d cost a fortune to get here. When it comes to various gadgets, though, there are savings to be had.

Tech goodies, homeware, appliances, fashion – when US retailers do discounts, they do them properly.

I won’t run through individual items because there are too many to list. The best summaries I’ve come across can be found on The Verge, USA Today, and Tom’s Guide.

There’s a good chance some of the items you’re interested in don’t ship to South Africa. Usually, that would be a problem, but Postbox Courier has you covered. The specialised courier service will get those goodies delivered to your door and the entire process is very simple.

You’re provided with a free overseas shipping address, and you can ask for quotes on the costs associated with having any purchases sent to South Africa before you go forward.

Once you’ve given the all-clear your purchases will arrive at your door in three to five working days, shipped over as a single delivery.

In addition, you’ll avoid the horrors of having to deal with customs during any stage of the process.

You can track and manage all of your orders via your free account, as well as ship single items or multiple pieces combined into a single shipment.

The South African-owned business also offers the same service in reverse, giving customers a central delivery point in South Africa, in case you’re considering sending something valuable abroad.
