Buying from a South African retailer or supplier? Use your SwiftPath South Africa address and arrange forwarding to Zambia. We help individual shoppers, traders and businesses move purchases home, with a quote required before you ship.
Your shopping. Your supplier. Our connection.
Use SwiftPath to forward purchases from Temu, SHEIN, Bash, Takealot, Zara and other South African stores to Zambia. Your delivery country is where you receive your goods; the receiving address is in the country you buy from.
For Temu or SHEIN, check which country the checkout accepts and where the seller will deliver. Use our South Africa address only when that order can be delivered there. SwiftPath handles onward forwarding; retailer delivery terms still apply.
Stores are examples of where clients shop. SwiftPath is an independent forwarding service; store acceptance, payment and local delivery conditions still apply.

Before you send
Measure the packed parcel.
Volumetric weight (kg) = length × width × height in cm ÷ 5000. Chargeable weight uses the higher of actual and volumetric weight, rounded to the nearest whole kg, with 0.5 rounding up and a 1 kg minimum.
For example, a 50 × 40 × 30 cm parcel has a volumetric weight of 12 kg. If it weighs 5 kg on the scale, its chargeable weight is 12 kg. Your invoice also reflects the route charges explained above.

Can you move business stock or larger loads?
Yes. Contact SwiftPath with the goods, quantity, value, packed dimensions, collection point and delivery location. Pallets, equipment and full loads need an individual transport quote rather than assuming the parcel rate applies.
