Does Takealot deliver to Zambia? Does Shein ship to Zambia? The answer to both is the same — not directly. But with SwiftPath Logistics, any Zambian can order from any South African online store and receive their goods in Lusaka in just 5–7 working days.

This guide explains exactly how shipping from South Africa to Zambia works, what it costs, and how to place your first order today.

How Shipping from South Africa to Zambia Works

SwiftPath Logistics operates a weekly road freight service between Johannesburg, South Africa and Lusaka, Zambia. Here is the process step by step:

  1. Get our SA warehouse address — WhatsApp us on +260 979 485 531 and we send you our Johannesburg address immediately.
  2. Shop from any SA store — Use our address at checkout on Takealot, Shein, Temu, Mr Price, Clicks, Game or any other SA online store. Write SPL + Your Name in the name field.
  3. Notify us immediately — Send us your order number on WhatsApp the same day you order. Do not wait for it to arrive.
  4. We confirm receipt — When your goods arrive at our Johannesburg warehouse, we WhatsApp you to confirm and send your transport invoice.
  5. Pay via MTN MoMo or Airtel Money — You pay your transport fee after we confirm receipt. We never ask for payment before receiving your goods.
  6. We ship to Lusaka — Your goods are loaded on our weekly truck to Zambia. You receive a tracking number.
  7. Collect or door delivery — Collect free from Napsa Lilayi Estates, Lilayi Road, Lusaka — or request door delivery.
⚠️ Important: Always write SPL + Your Full Name in the name field when ordering. Example: SPL Thandiwe Banda. This is how we identify your parcel at our warehouse.
