Does anyone know if you can courier a package to a South African post office box..... I worry about security.

African security aint the best.

I imagine someone like UPS could do it, however if you're thinking of one person taking a package from Scotland to Africa I doubt it

I am sending out a birthday present and short of putting a snake in the box wonder how to make sure he gets it.

The smart phone is a real grab if one of the postal workers bags it.

Problem is he lives in a very remote town on the Zim border and they go to collect the mail

Wrap it in box of something really boring and unassuming, biscuits, tea or something else british that someone would be likely to send abroad but any dodgy P.O workers would have little interest in.

That's a very good idea. They call the post out there the big dipper wonder why

We use a freight froward to send stuff to South Africa when we were working down there. UPS or DHL should be good just make sure it is insured for the full value and is tracked.

If it goes awal then atleast you can claim.

Also use the "box of marmite" trick described above.
