Shipping to South Africa

I need to ship a popper and a couple swimbaits to South Africa. What is the safest and most cost effective means of shipping from the US to there. I have never shipped anything internationally so any help would be appreciated.

Mitch probably your best option is USPS price wise

With the 360tuna t shirts I am going to use priority mail flat rate. check the USPS website for the rates, pretty reasonable.

I would purchase insurance if you are sending something of value to
South Africa.

I have family in South Africa and don't send them packages anymore
as they often went missing or arrived and had been opened.

USPS Flat rate for sure.... and get a tracking number!!!
Being in South Africa, I've bought LOTS from the US< as alot of you know as I've bought from you guys, and always had the best results with USPS... go for the 5-7 day option, it will take two weeks to get here, but at least it usually gets here... anything else can take over 6 weeks.... even though the USPS says 10 days....
Bear in mind SA is one of the most expensive places to ship to which sucks balls, but its the way it is...

Be sure to mark the package as "2nd Hand Fishing Tackle" too....
