Wholesale Supplier to South Africa – UK Trade Stock for South African Retailers

Rysons is a UK wholesale supplier delivering to South Africa from our warehouse in Manchester. We supply South African discount stores, general dealers and online sellers with pound lines, household goods, toys, stationery, party and seasonal ranges and clearance stock — the fast-moving general merchandise that discount retail runs on.

Delivery to South Africa at a glance

  • Dispatch readiness: goods are usually ready for shipping within 3–5 working days of receiving the order
  • Shipping cost and transit: freight is arranged and quoted per order — it depends on the number of pallets and the destination in South Africa
  • Your own forwarder welcome: choose Customer to Collect / Arrange Collection at checkout and collect from Manchester, Monday–Friday 9am–5pm
  • Currencies: GBP, EUR and USD — billing addresses accepted worldwide

Many South African buyers who already move goods from the UK get the best rate using their own freight forwarder — you keep control of the route, the cost and the customs handling. If you would rather we arrange it, contact us with your delivery address and approximate order value for a quote: +44 (0) 161 387 7214, Live Chat, or customer services.

How the pallets work

All orders are palletised, shrink wrapped and covered on top. Pallet quantity is worked out at one pallet per £500 net of VAT and freight is charged per pallet, so one consolidated order almost always ships more efficiently to South Africa than several small ones.

Customs and VAT

Buyers in South Africa are responsible for import duties, taxes and customs clearance in the destination country unless otherwise agreed in writing. Goods are UK stock sold at trade prices excluding VAT.
