Internet Express
Domestic courier with explicit tiered pricing — best value when sender and recipient are both in major centres.
Internet Express has been operating in South Africa since 1998 and runs a domestic-only road and air parcel service. Their pricing model is unusually transparent: rates are explicitly tiered by destination class (same metro / major centre / regional). For a Sandton-to-Pretoria parcel they're often the cheapest live option; for a Sandton-to-Polokwane parcel, cheaper alternatives exist.
The service tier menu covers Express overnight, Road Freight, and a Holiday Promotion economy tier. Liability cover is opt-in via service-guarantee premiums.
