NuclearVision wroteAnyone tried ubuy.com?
It's basically an amazon clone, somehow affiliated with amazon.
Update: It is extremely hard to browse it, the servers seem flimsy and often overloaded.
Have you used the mobile app ?


We need to know if anyone purchased from Ubuy.com and what's the customs procedures..

Turns out to be very expensive shipping. I saw the ad on tv, and they litteraly said there were no extra cost.

Anyway, anyone bought knives from abroad? Is it legal? A 10cm okapi knife. It's a marvelous collectable.
Geeks ,

For Example I want to order a 1080 from the USA Example:

NewEgg or Amazon

Dear Sirs and Madams,

I read 11 pages and I still did not got my answer.
I want to buy a small toy from amazon 10 $ that has the size of a mouse, what is the cheapest way to ship it ?
No and I do not have any relatives in america.
I am considering either Shop and Ship or Borderlinx, but I read in the comments that anything you ship through Borderlinx no matter how small it is you have to pay 50500 L.L. for some reason, and I read also that there is a one time fee when opening a shop and ship account.
can I have a little comparison between both ... Because apparently you guys have a lot of experience using those two companies.

Thank you.
Yes a used one, but I do not see why is that relevant to my question sir NuclearVision.

I really don't recommend getting something that cheap with borderlinx. Yes they will charge you for shipping and then they charge you some "Miscellaneous" fees. It is only worth it if after you pay all the fees, the value is still lower than the Lebanese market value. If it's a toy I would recommend getting an alternative from AliExpress, Banggood or maybe an Ebay seller that ships to Lebanon.
dear sir mok, read what xazarian wrote just one post above. Perhaps you will get the point, which is really obvious.
Best regards.
Point is , if you want to order something from amazon via borderlinx or any other service, expect at lease (ON AVERAGE) 20$+ fees for shipping and customs.
Save all the headaches, and just get it from AliExpress if you find it hard to find what you want on ebay and don't want to risk it.

I have a question, let's say i want to buy an asus strix gtx 1070 from Amazon and the seller ships to lebanon, do i have to pay customs too?
Dear All,

I am considering to buy a new Asus Laptop from Xoticpc costs 1700 $ ~ without shipping, and then get it here through borderlinx.

is there a fixed customes/tax rate or it is a russian roulette with an angry customs officer?

Don't buy it if they dont declare is as a gift.
Bought a 70$ watch and a 25$ tool shipped using usps, paid nothig, they arrived to beirut airport and they were released on the same day and sent to the nearest post office.
What's the point if you have to pay double.
Regards.

Not all shops agree to put a gift tag on it, heck even some of them refused to put a fake much lower price on the pack to pay less customs, it depends on the shop
