Sorry to disappoint you Sabra read prior posts chosen2k real price was 66 USD and priced by customs for 210,000 even though with the tax we still have great savings relative to prices of local sellers, they were mugging us for a quit long time.
Lets hope they will really unblock the parcels as posted by Hybrid.
Hey guys, the seller priced my item at $66. They always lower the price on the package. When you buy something for $20 look at the package your receive, the sellers usually put $3 or $2.

The real price of my item was higher than their estimates. I actually paid customs while smiling.
just searched the internet about any news if libanpost will deliver our items, found nothing.
the problem is that i have two shipments, the first from china (dx.com) and it is around 100$ and the other is from USA (bodybuilding.com) and it is around 250$

Does the same law (parcels less than 200,000 lbp are not subject to taxes) apply to orders from Amazon.com shipped through Borderlinx?

So what can stop them from estimating all packages for +200.000 l.l ?

we can protest!
Despite the fact that LibanPost has installed an advanced sorting machine july 22nd (capable of sorting thousands of mails per day) in the presence of press and LIBANPOST announcement on MTV August 19th that all goods will be released.
None of my 14 shippments has shown up on LIBANPOST tracking system as received by sorting center.
I hope that what has been announced is not a morphine shot to calm down people.

for chosen2k inquiry: By Law customs has the right to price received items according to local market prices (hope they price as for burj hammoud and not Hamra prices) and we can do nothing about, in case of descripancies (we can not close roads to protest) the only thing we can do is little teasing, by posting these descripancies with evidence into social networks in a constructive manner (so that not to be sued by "KADE& WE ZAM") hopping they might change.

No, we can protest. Not by closing roads, that is a savage act.
But we can go to LebanPost HQ and protest their. "WE WANT OUR GOODS..WE WANT OUR GOODS..."
Media will sure be there, and speaking about my self i have to problem in spending there a whole day since that still better than losing 400$ worth goods.
For delivering goods they have already announced that goods will be delivered.
Please check MTV morning news the 20th of August 2014.

For pricing yo cannot protest as long as they abide to customs laws and rules which for pricing is relative.
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT about incoming mail from China

We would like to apologize for all the delays that were out of LibanPost’s control occurring with mail items received from China/ Hong Kong (AliExpress and others). As per The Lebanese Customs’ law, all incoming items with a value less than 200,000 LBP will be exempted from any charges or fees. It is important to note that all incoming items still have to be cleared by the Customs and LibanPost will deliver right after clearance.
LibanPost has started the sorting process of more than 100,000 pending items and delivery will start in the coming days.

Friend of mine just received a package from libanpost with no customs.

He also has some incoming packages from aliexpress that he shipped through Aramex . Will update you if he'll get customs on them.
Im also waiting for a few items from dx.com that i ordered last month. Contacted Libanpost today and they said they are still in customs.
They will contact me when the items are cleared.

I guess not, we will always have to pay customs when we ship through DHL or aramex or etc...
Hi all ,
A friend of mine has a parsel with status (Item handed over to Customs for clearance) since 11/8/2014 (according to LIBANPOST tracing system).
It looks like we have another bottleneck for delivering items at customs.
In the compendium of libanpost it is stated that clearance requires 4 hours, which is not the case.

Does any one knows what is the new average time for parcels to be cleared from customs??

Me too have parcel since 24/7
Tomorrow I will receive 2 items, they are now in Libanpost office where I live.
The items were handed in customs for more than a month.
But I think in the upcoming days this process will take less time.
I will update you tomorrow.
i have items in "Sent to airlines" status since 18/7/2014 is it weird that they didn't arrive to Lebanon yet ?
