A fully comprensive service for South African Expats

Hi,
We lived in the UAE for 10 years and returned home to SA last year. I have since launched a business offering the following services for South African Expats world wide:

Expatshop
I was an expat for so long and missed certain SA products - and we came home infrequently. I decided to develop a safe secure site for SA expats to enable people to get what they need from SA at a reasonable price. My website only contains a selection of products I have access to. I can purchase products at any of our major shops such as PnP, Woolworths, Clicks etc

Sending Gifts in SA
I am also willing to send gifts to loved ones in SA (will be your personal shopper of sorts).

Requests out of the ordinary
I am willing to deal with all kinds of strange requests. A SA in Prague contacted me to see if I would be willing to assist to ship his household contents in JHB to Prague. I am currently looking into this to determine the logistics of this request.
A South African lady in Saudi has asked for help with the logistics of getting a visa into her daughters passport – that also is no problem.


I know how hard it was to get people to attend to business matters in SA - to get things done was a nightmare and then on top of it all the minute they hear you live overseas they just see $ signs!!
We were ripped off by so many people over the years. I thought I could offer my personal services to SA expats and I believe I can deal efficiently with most problems. I will be honest and advise you whether something is out of the scope that I can do.

Kind regards
Machelle Munro

Need unabridged marriage / birth certificates from SA??

Hi all - we have extended our service by popular demand to include procurement of documents such as these - especially required when applying for foreign citizenship. Just send an email with your requirements to info@expatshop.co.za.

We have also had a number of very busy months on the request of SA items for the website and you can view all the latest additions on the following link:
Visa for Saudi
Cheers

Selling cigarettes on line and dealing in legal matters seems rather ominous?

Actually, IIRC, things like police clearance certificates which are needed for foreign residency/citizenship applications need to be picked up in person. A courier service is essential to avoid a trip home.
