Guys , please.
Whoever is thinking of buying and shipping stuff from amazon, and has to pay quite an amount for shipping anyway.
Please let us know here in the thread, perhaps you could help out a fellow member by ordering something for them with your order.

Like me for example.
Thank you.

Shipment was 22.30 $ the total weight of the items was 0.580

15 $ ===> Shipments fee
5 $ ===> insurances fee


and for Custom fee was 17.80 $ the original prince was 66,80 $

MrClass wrote Now regarding Clearance, default amount is 11,000LL if the item costs less than 800$. But if you shipped many items where each is less than 800$ but the total cost for all is above 800$, do I still need a formal clearance? Tasfieh is needed if the item cost ranges between 0$ and 1666$; Tasfieh costs 190000LL. Bayan is needed if the item cost is above 1666$; Bayan costs 405000L.L.
MrClass,
Did you get the answer regarding what happens if each item is less than 800$ but the total cost for all is above 800$ ? I'm having the same question and wondering if it's better to ship in separate packages
thx

you pay cash for shipping and customs fees when your items arrive at your door step.

I followed what Ramnesia did with his MSI Gaming 970 from Amazon and Borderlinx and followed the same path, though instead of 44$ for transport it will cost 77$!!
I look deeper in the problem and it looks like the ''volumetric'' package is 2kg more than the shipped 1.8kg.
I have no idea why with UPS it weighted 1.8kg and Borderlinx estimated it 4.8kg.
I just called Borderlinx but the team is not here just a regular DHL guy, so I loosed a whole business day for nothing because tomorrow the team will return and dunno what to ask for make it like Ramnesia and cost me 44$ meaning return to the 1.8kg weight and volumetric.
I am sorry i should have told you how they calculate the weight, As long as the volumetric weight is less than 25 kilos DHL will only charge you based on the actual weight. (Disregard the shipping charges that are displayed in the suite as they would sometimes reflect the volumetric weight of your package even if the volume is inferior to 25 kgs).
Thats is how DHL charge you:

Cool!
So it's a bug in their system as they calculate the shipping total like if it was a +25kg while they shouldn't.
I am gonna call them directly at Ohio just to be 100% sure, I brought their phone from google based on their address.
How do you call US from your home's fixed line (we have international enabled)?
The number of DHL is +1 859-371-1286
I am doing 0018593711286 but it looks like a number is missing
Can't wait to have this card :)
When did you order yours ?
I put my order just this morning.
Perhaps our cards would arrive in the same shipment .
What shipping speed did you use?


Also @ramnesia
Did you use the rebate form that gigabyte is offering ?
My card is already at Borderlinx US, it took 5 days for Amazon to ship it, I am just waiting them to update the price of the item as they didn't get an invoice to release it
i m hoping i get it on the gtx 970 :D
I released the gtx 970 from it's US prison :P
Still no tracking number but from what I learned from Borderlinx Lebanon, they usually have 2 shipments per week toward Lebanon, Friday and Tuesday, my GTX 970 should be shipped so in tomorrow's plane then of course I will get the tracking number, with ordinary DHL you get the tracking number from day 1 but hey we are paying 40% less here so I won't complain.

Ok here's my review of Borderlinx:
Positive:
-Cheaper transport cost from US compared to DHL and UPS ''normal'' costs.
-Delivered to your door
-Free membership

Negative:
-VERY IMPORTANT NEGATIVE POINT: They give you a tracking number that don't work (it's with all Borderlinx orders) so you are in total pitch darkness about where is your shipment
-They say 5 to 7 working days but it's always 7 days, not less.
-Very confusing billing system, on the website they will tell you it's 77$ because of volumetric weight but in Lebanon they calculate only original weight if under 20kg
-No support 24/24 6days per week, it you have a question before releasing your shipment or need to update the invoice after 5pm in week days or after 1pm Saturday then you will loose a day of delivery because they don't have night shift employees just regular DHL operators who don't really help you.I had to call my suite in the US to have the answers.
-Apart the absence of real tracking number,they have a lack of coordination with their delivery guy, the delivery day my estimated delivery time passed from ''before 12'' to ''before 5pm'' to ''before 7pm'', and they don't call you,you have to do it.

Conclusion:
Apart the economy of 40 to 50$ this system is not good, everything has a price and if you want the normal DHL service with real working tracking number, 3 to 5 days max delivery time and clear and nice coordination from A to Z, you will have to pay more
