infiniteloop wroteThese Lebanese online shops are either dumb or limited by the banks, but when doing this they push people to buy from US and European online shops, so throwing more $ outside Lebanon.
I have a small account in $ and don't want to see my couple of $ left going to a band of thieves called politicians, I rather buy something useful with it. Even a Xiaomi phone bought from aliexpress + customs will cost me less now because of the $ black market here, if you pas in $ they want to see actual cash and if in Lebanese it will cost x2 more, imagine a phone that cost 450$ will be 900$ and an s20+ 950$ will be 1900$!!
Yeah, right now I am buying everything from amazon, with shipping and customs it will actually cost less than buying here with cash.
