I like Global Shopaholics services. It’s my preferred alternative to MyUS. Package log-in, shipment packaging, customer services, etc., are all efficient and smooth. I’d recommend GS services to anyone seeking an affordable, hassle free package forwarding to Africa.

They were super helpful and patient with me… My box arrived in very good condition and the products were well packed, I didn’t even have to ask to add bubble wrap hahaha, top! I really loved the services, they just had to inform the days when the carriers go to collect the products from the warehouse before the customer makes the payment.
