I already got 2 xiaomi phones from ali express! One was before that customs crisis while the second was stuck at the customs during that crisis!
Each of them was around 220$ and none got any additional customs fees!

But I didn't request any phone lately! So you might get lucky!

What's your budget? You can get awesome chinese phones! I personally wouldn't get that xperia C!

You might like the picture but in the end you will get a plastic phone that makes poping sounds when you touch it.
I'd rather pay 100$ For a new phone and take it home, than pay 60$ for a Refurbished** phone and wait months for it.
(This phone is cheap because it is refurbished). Never buy refurbished cheap stuff. A mac maybe, an hp laptop also. But not a cheap phone. Try finding a new phone.
I know it's interesting to buy a phone from abroad, but eventually it turns into a money waste.

You, my friend, never cease to speak the truth.

Guys, which is the best shipping company : china post, sweden post , singapore post, swiss post , hong kong post ???
Which one is generally the fastest when shipping to Lebanon from your experience ?
From my limited experience, Hong Kong or Singapore.
Yeah that what it seems to me too, singaport and HK. Swiss and sweden are good too. Last comes china post.

Yeah me and my friend has more than 20 delayed items!

I called Libanpost and that oblivious girl told me that everything is working great in here, both Libanpost and the customs don't have any issues too!

But of course I didn't believe that! Items are very delayed, some more than 6 weeks and still counting!
I dont have any issues. Did you try tracking the packages on Libanpost's website. There's an android app called track aliexpress in Lebanon. You can also use it instead of libanpost website.

You have to call them and order the delivery, but you'll have to pay an extra fee though.
Not exactly, many times I got the courier to deliver it to my doorstep and lol once the driver called me because I wasn't home and i decided to pick it up later only.
I have a problem. i ordered a lenovo phone from aliexpress. had 10 days of processing time. at day 10 the seller gave me a shipping number on singapour post. 12 days after the number is not showing on singapour post. tried to contact the seller but his only reply was to ask for order number but never gave a response. Now i want to open a dispute to get my money back. Anyone had a similar experience? Any tips?
@khanem just wait for your order, Sometimes it wont show in the details unless it's passed some time from the delivery date, or maybe not show at all.
Although just to be sure, contact the seller about this issue, and tell him the item cannot be tracked.
Other than that, you need to wait, and the perfect time for you to open the dispute, is 4-5 days before the purchase protection end date.

hmmm i m afraid i won t be able to receive a big bunch of items... to much delayss but i will wait until the third month is finished... :/ i have around 50 60 items with no tracking provided.. i used to get items with no tracking normally... i don't know what's happening these days..
Yes, and the problem is Lebanese customs. They are holding deliveries for periods of 2 to 4 weeks for no reason.. Just being jerks..
You can notice it in some items, and in some, no. Check Liban Post website with your tracking number. Sometimes you will see it at customs, sometimes it will not be registered until it's cleared.

So I just got an item that is not mine... I didn't realize it till Liban Post guy was gone, and I opened the package..

I still have the package and the name of the girl that should receive it. You think I should try to call the girl or should I inform Liban Post ?
Forget LibanPost.
Add the girl in Whatsapp, if she is a nice "Specimen", tell her the story, it'll be a great conversation starter!
Otherwise, keep it!

LoL.
On a serious note yea, i think you should contact the girl, dont bother with libanpost.

And on a curious note, what was in the package? xD
