Can I Order Just One Item?

Short answer: Yes, you can order just one item.

SSS is built for individual shoppers and small businesses that need:
• One off imports
• Trial orders before buying bulk
• That one weird cable or part nobody stocks here

No account with the overseas store? We can even buy on your behalf.

Save this post for later and tag a friend who is always asking “Do you know anyone who can help me import…?”

Real story from one of our recent customers:

“I needed specialised car parts that no one in SA had stock of. The supplier would only ship to the UK. SSS arranged everything, kept me updated, and the parts arrived in Pretoria quicker than I expected. I knew the total cost before I paid a cent.”

Importing does not need to be a gamble. You just need someone who lives in the details.

If you have a tricky item, reply with “Help” and we will talk you through it.

What does “all inclusive landed price” actually mean?

With Scott’s Shipping Services, your estimate includes:
✅ Product price
✅ International courier fees
✅ Customs duties
✅ VAT
✅ Clearance fees

So when we say “Your item will land for R X”, that is what you can plan around. If something changes, we tell you upfront, not after delivery.

Tired of surprise “customs bills” at your gate? Try SSS for your next import.

“I wanted to buy on AliExpress, but they do not ship to South Africa.”
You are not stuck.

Many AliExpress sellers only ship to the USA, UK or EU. That is exactly where SSS comes in. We receive your parcel overseas, then ship it on to South Africa, handle customs, and deliver to your door.

You still get the low AliExpress pricing. You just skip the “does not ship to your country” message.
