I'm extremely loath to import items such as razors, brushes and hones because of these sticky fingers. I can use a service such as Stackry or Postbox-Courier but unless I have enough items to warrant the courier fees, importing once off items becomes prohibitive.
Sorry to hear about the crappy situation with the SA postal service and pilfering. A lot of people bitch about our postal system here but got to say, touch wood, pilfering has not been often heard as a complaint, at least from me. Generally pretty confident that CanPost will get it here from customs although it can take a while.
