Shipping Craft items from Vic Falls

by JC
(NJ - USA)

We will be starting our two week trip in Vic falls, Zimbabwe, in Aug. If we purchase any Craft items in the Open Market or shops, is there a UPS, Fed Ex or DHL outlet there for shipping home. We would like, not to carry items around for two weeks if we don't have to. Thanks

 Be Careful
by: Tony

Hi JC

There is a Fedex and a DHL within the Elephants Walk Shopping center. Any of the local traders will point you in the right direction. Have a look at the town map on our website as well for the layout of the town and where the markets are etc.

My advice is to definitely use one of these shipping companies even if one of the curio traders tells you he can do it all for you.

Vic Falls Gallery has recently been highlighted in a complete scam, where the clients paid for curios and shipping and never received them. The case is still going on and we are trying to recover their money.

If one of the shops wants to ship for you make sure that they show you records of their previous shipments. Check out if they use Fedex or DHL and if not who are they using for their shipping who is reliable and honest. Don't go for the cheap option you might never see your goods again.

 shipping scam -vic falls
by: Anonymous

I recently left my carvings and statues at Fedex in Vic Falls, along side many other orders to crate and ship to the U.S. They would give me no paperwork but took my email and said that in three business days they would email me and I would wire shipping money and it would ship. I have been home three weeks and have heard nothing from them. At least I didn't pay the shipping.

 Vic falls fraud
by: sharon

beware of a vendor in Vic falls. His shop is across the street from the city market and he sells a lot of stone statues. I have been trying for seven months to get my sculpture, having heard every excuse in the books.

 continues to scam people
by: Tony

Hi Sharon

Have you read this thread on our website Southern Africa Art Gallery. It's probably the same company that has defrauded you.

This guy continues to scam people all the time, I get emails from people who don't post on this post but tell me about how they have been defrauded. We are building a case against this guy and his time will come. If you have any invoices, receipts etc, please send them to me at info@victoriafalls-guide.net we can use them in the case against him.
