I sure am, found an auction on ebay for a good price, and was curious about the procedure now
aliexpress stuff starting to showup.
I wonder if they opened the airport discretely.

They never stopped cargo planes, AE stuff was getting delayed because of libanpost working with 50% of their staff.
But libanpost doesn't have cargo planes, I read a few posts above that regular mail is delivered using passenger planes
Perhaps your shipment arrived with expats planes of yesterday, knowing there were cases of corona with these planes I would generously spray alcohol on the external envelop with gloves.
I have 2 items from late March still in an airport somewhere.
I desperately need a new cover for my 7 Pro, dunno if I get some from aliexpress and waut 2 months or get them from amazon and 50$ for 2 covers

$50 is a shit ton of money for two covers at current rate

Just wait it out, Order them sometime mid-may and you should be able to receive them on time when the Airport re-opens on the 8th of june.
You can get them from gearbest they have faster shipping than ali.

Aliexpress is pretty fast since corona, they leave China in 2 days but the thing is not from aliexpress side but the courrier used.
Any national post like China or Singapore post will be blocked somewhere till the airport is re-opened with civil planes.
Dhl, shopandship, fedex.... Have their own planes and continue to deliver.
I have 20$ of covers on amazon + 20$ airmail + 22000LL shopandship if I want fast delivery
I ordered an item gearbest 50 days ago, arrived yesterday (NL post), order 3 items 90 days ago on ali (also NL post).
Might be due to different sellers.
Hey guys. Any experience shipping from Amazon directly? I bought some books that directly shipped here and when I contacted the seller they mentioned that they should be shipped with LibanPost when it arrives in Lebanon. Can anyone confirm this? Any similar experiences?

That's true.

Any one ordering books from amazon should try abebooks.co.uk, they have much better prices and almost free shipping.
Also I think books don't have VAT and customs here
PC parts no customs but 11% VAT
Electronics 10% customs and 11% VAT
If ordered with private couriers, for aliexpress China and Singapore posts it's customs free
I confirm no customs on books, i bought a few from amazon a few months ago, got them with libanpost.

One Plus? You know there are no covers, but if you go to a big store, he might find something similar. I have a 1plus 6T and one shop gave me a cover for something else but it worked very well with it. So don't ask for a specific cover for 7, but show them the phone and they might find you something that works.
It's sad how there's a market for most expensive flagships and not budget flagships in our budget country.
So I have a good amount on my Amazon wallet and I would like to purchase a phone from there.

If I ship the phone via shop and ship, I need to pay customs twice? Once for the airport customs and another to the ministry of telecommunication after I get the phone?
I already asked here and got no answer, But i don't really need a phone right now, so if you can call shopandship, they probably know better.
Let us know what they tell you.

Yes once at the airport (and super tedious procedure there) and then you go to the ministry. I did this once back in 2017 and im not sure if its still the same, but I remember I had to waste a full day just so I can get my phone.
