dav wrotehi guys... just ordered an 800w pure sine wave inverter at 67$ plus 43$ shipping by aramex.. i agreed with the seller to mark it as low as 30$ and as a gift... the package will weigh around 3kgs... any idea if i will be charged for customs? i once got charged (25000LL) for a clock that weighs no more than 200g but marked with 45$ invoice and not as a gift... anyone got into this before? thanks!
Aramax yes, only libanpost has free customs
the clock was delivered through libanpost...

If you received a broken item how can you claim a dispute?
I clicked on ''open dispute'' but all I got is to send a message to the seller, he said he will resend the item for free in the coming 2 days...it was 6 days ago!
I sent him a new message saying I will put a very bad review if he doesn't resend free or refund, is that enough?

To phone covers chargers cables etc and some other stuff like tools and car accessories) , i would like to know if i buy with a huge budget will i get charged here (gomrok) i never actually bought from AE but my friends always recommend it , any piece of advice would be appreciated thanks.

AE is really good for stuff like cables,adapters,earphones,VR headsets...But be aware that delivery period can vary a lot, in winter it used to be 1 month minimum for airmail and 2 months for small packet plus, during summer time it's 2x faster, I got a small packet plus in just 1 month, but anyway what I mean is that it's really random, you will face problems promising customers for the products coming soon while it can be weeks, unless you bring stocks of popular items that will surely be sold (cables and VR headsets for examples) and bring small amounts of other things without taking risks, then based on your sales you re-order before the stocks are under 50% of quantities

How much time is it taking these days? I shipped some items that include batteries, they cost around 1000$ via China Post. Aramex refused to ship them because they include batteries.

Around 2 months ago, it took 12 days to arrive to Lebanon(no batteries though), yet this new one didn't show up yet, shipped from China on the 24th of last month.
Yep the golden period of summer is finished, it used to take 1 week to 10 days max between China and Beirut, now I am waiting for a screen protector which is in plane for 14 days, so I guess we are back to the old delivery time

I have a question..
i have read in a previous post that if I ordered an item less than 200$ i won't pay custom fees
what if I ordered multiple items of the same product.. lets say a product value in 10$ and i ordered 10 items of same product from the same seller the total amount would be 10 x 10$ = 100 $
In that case Liban post will deliver my products? and will have to pay custom fees?
Thank you !!

It was 200,000LL
And it doesn't always apply.
It's really a gamble.
Yup a gamble!
I've been ordering cellphones since forever and never paid a dime!
2 days ago I received a new phone and I had to pay 21$ as custom fees! Weird!
21$ for a phone is nothing, I bought 6 Spigen cases for my iPhone and they charged me 13$ customs. Complete rip off.

spigen is the best

i ordered 4 iphone cases at 12 October. the status for now is picked up by china post :s. it didn't get out china yet. DHL Deliver to Kuwait from USA in 3 days only. ali express was ordered to Lebanon.
What's the exact process for paying customs?

Like Liban Post call you and you go there and pay?
^ Money is collected when they deliver the package to you
Salloum wrote^ Money is collected when they deliver the package to you
Yep, like ''hi sir I have a good news, you owe us an extra 50$ for customs'' :)
This was my 1st experience with DHL BTW
They used to deliver a bill to my house and I had to go pick it up myself and pay.

I'm gonna order some stuff. Keep in mind not all sales are actual sales. They increase prices then do a sale.
Georges00 wroteI'm gonna order some stuff. Keep in mind not all sales are actual sales. They increase prices then do a sale.
i agree
50% on KZ earphones, it would be st**d to not get one of these :)
Though I guess it will take a while till it's delivered due to heavy sales of today
