A rate of 8,000 LBP to 1 USD will be applied to Clearance Charges, VAT on Clearance Charges and to DHL Express Issued Delivery Orders.

Thank you for your understanding.
Sincerely,
DHL Express

Old news. They used to charge all of these fees on their site at the 8000 rate, or fresh USD if you select USD as payment, which was robbery. Now they only charge for shipping in USD. You pay the clearance and taxes in LBP at the 1500 rate upon delivery. They haven't updated their email notifications yet, still says 8000. I made like 6-7 amazon orders in the past 40 days, all the taxes were paid at the 1500 rate. I assume it will be updated to 15000 LBP at the end of October, due to the decision of the central bank and the ministry of finance.

AVOlio wroteThe guy just shared his experience at the time with the company, and I remember very well that time everyone was receiving their orders.

true he did, and i got my orders at that time, he could've stopped there but no he kept on defending them here, on facebook and joining telegram channels like who does that? why all the hassle? people do that when they have something to complain about, not to vouch for other companies with nothing in return. the problem isn't that he kept vouching for them, he just disappeared when the company stopped delivering. he showed screenshots of him contacting Raja directly on linkedin, "more like showing off that she acknowledged him" he either saw a job opportunity, or he knew the company is fishy and did all that just to have his orders delivered and scr*w the rest. again see the screenshot for his orders being delivered in a month. you are in the telegram channel, see the orders for the people who ordered before him, he's being prioritized.

if you're betting on tech guru reaching out and saying "hey buddy thanks for defending me, let me contact my friend Raja directly, and ask her to ship you your tv asap." you're being delusional.

sorry i couldn't post earlier. libazon called me on monday and said that they got all my orders in their office, they asked if i can go pick them up or wait till next day and have them delivered by aramex. told them ill go pick them up.

i went to their office at chhim, and met the staff, they were so nice and friendly. they apologized again for the delays. i looked from the warehouse window and saw lots of packaged orders inside, some were big items probably fridges or beds. i do think they ship by sea cargo which explains the shipping delay. they insisted on opening the items and inspect them one by one, the items are brand new and sealed, the fujifilm got a tamper sticker that turns transparent if opened, its still sealed and brand new.

turns out they really do have tons of orders, i would order again if im not travelling. i do recommend buying expensive items that you are ready to wait for.

at the time of order the fujifilm cam was 8m lbp on shipped.io, i got it for 4m with a bunch of accessories for half the price, even less than the retail price which is crazy. again you can save a lot of money by waiting more.
"right now this cam is 12.5m on shipped.io and 5m on libazon!"

only problem with libazon is the lack of communication and the shipment delays "corona and high volume of orders", but you save like 50% so you cant complain, they are legit and i got all my orders in perfect condition.

farouq3d wrote Thanks a lot, many people advised me to contact bitcoinduliban, but I didn't bcz they are Lebanese LOL
I think I'll go with them, let's see

they are lebanese yes, its an educational site and group, no one will ask you for money or btc, as a matter of fact, they do free btc drops from time to time, the main goal is to help as many ppl to get out of the system and have complete control over their money.

farouq3d wroteHello,
Is there anyone here who knows how to create a trusted bitcoin wallet in Lebanon

if you want a mobile wallet only use opensource ones like mycelium and bluewallet.
use mycelium if you have android and bluewallet if you have iphone.
dont store the recovery seed in a digital file or something connected to the internet, write it on a paper and store it in a safe place, if you lose you lose your coins if you delete the wallet or change your phone.
you are ready to send and receive bitcoins right after you install and note down the recovery seed, also do a test send like 1-5$ to your wallet, wipe it and restore it for the peace of mind.
you can also see this site bitcoinduliban.org for more information, and their telegram group is very helpful.

This is exactly what happened to me i had 2 items in the same order and i received the cheaper one as seen in the pic. As for the "cloth" part this only for internal shipping via aramex i m sure they don t tag a mouse as cloth for customs.
https://ibb.co/m0NS9Mp
https://ibb.co/8j3Px6k (tagged as cloth too)

why does it say cancelled for the tv? was it you who cancelled it or they offered the cancellation and a refund? if so, it could be a scheme to exchange lbp to usd at the date of order, then refund lbp 2 months later and make profit.

AVOlio wrote Can you share the group link please?

t.me/libazon

- as i said before 99% of the times they dont order from ebay
- you'll receive a box labeled "cloth" with 0$ value, they dont pay taxes
- the estimated delivery dates are not accurate and if you dont keep asking about your order it will take more than 2 months
- if you order 2 pieces of the same item you wont get them in the same box you'll get the 2nd item weeks later
- they havn't delivered any order above 4m yet.
- if you order a bunch of items, they deliver the cheapest one first, and you'll have to contact them then they'll reply "you'll get them soon"

source: telegram group with lots of buyers.

bobo619 wroteDid you check their website recently? They have nothing of worth you can buy right now and don't think they are updating their catalogue but inflating their prices. Their legitimacy is one thing but they are dishonest about their practice as my tv i ordered 1month and a half ago has not even been bought from the ebay seller and now if i ask for a refund they will refund me the lbp back when the exchange rate was 4000. I believe they will call me and ask me to withdraw the money because if they haven t purchased the tv yet they will have to buy it at big big loss.

i called them, they dont order from the same seller or even from ebay, those listings are just a catalogue you choose from. im pretty sure they ordered your tv, but it may be a different model or refurbished, its a gamble.

bobo619 wrote 120hz on what resolution? i have an nvidia shield and i can push 1440p 120hz with hdr and 4k120hz hdr is only for hdmi 2.1.

interesting, the Shield tv pro can do 60 fps max in all resolutions according to nvidia site.

excuse my question: but why roku tv or tcl tv? why not any smart tv from samsung for example?

you may think tcl is not a reputable company due to the cheap indian units we have in lebanon with android os, but its actually a reputable usa company and this tcl tv in particular was the number one best seller on amazon.



they went cheap on the materials it feels very light but they used a high end display, i promise you 2k tv doesnt come close to this, its a 120 hertz 4k bezel-less display with HDR.

i was comparing this with the toshiba fire tv they are head to head, but the fire tv is android os and it lags very often, while roku is butter smooth, i saw a comparison between the two on youtube. the roku player is 99.99$, its built-in in the tv, and comes with alexa and google assistant, it was actually a very good deal.

AVOlio wrote How did you ship a TV from Amazon if you don't mind me asking

with shipped.io, there was a bug on their site when you add an item with addon item in cart it doesnt get the real weight or dimensions lol. i ordered it a tv with a soundbar, they fixed the bug and shipped the order anyway, they said the price you see is what you pay and they'll take the loss.

zizo99 wrotehello,

Is Apple TV works properly in Lebanon? is it worth it?
because amazon fire stick doesn't function properly in Lebanon, i want to check what is the case for Apple TV before buying one

i use roku tv, it came integrated with a tcl tv i shipped from amazon, when signing up i found lebanon listed and everything works fine. you might wanna consider Nvidia Shield TV its the big best thing right now, it does smart 4k upscaling for hd videos without quality reduction, very useful in lebanon if you have a slow internet and wanna watch netflix in 4k.

Dan28 wroteUpdate#1: paid at omt office

my invoice is 4,044,000 LBP, omt said they cant send that amount in 1 transaction as the maximum limit is 1,500,000 LBP and they cant send 2 max transactions after each other. what they did is, they sent 4 transactions that sum up to 4,044,000 LBP, i told Libazon about this and they said its cool.
i didnt pay transaction fee, its covered by Libazon, so what you see on the site is really what you pay.
i also asked omt employees about libazon and they confirmed they have done transfers for them before, all good so far.

EDIT:

Update#2: payment confirmed

just received an email stating that the payment has been confirmed, and the order status on the site changed to "payment confirmed".
https://i.imgur.com/NHImksw.png

Update#3: got scammed?

been 3 days since i placed the order, i've been checking the cam i ordered on ebay and the quantity never changed, the seller has 2 items and he still has those 2 items.

assumptions:

1- they haven't placed the order yet: this is really bad the items can go out of stock any time.
2- they ordered from a different seller: well that's worse they could order an open box, refurbished, or used item.
3- they actually placed the order and the seller restocked: this is not the case i made a bot to send a notification as soon the quantity changes.
4- they scammed me: i hope not, many posts in this thread vouching for libazon unless they got free items to advertise for them and i took the bait.

it's more likely number 2, you order something and they look for a cheaper seller to save cost, they say they open the box to inspect the item, so they can look for sellers selling items labeled as "open box" and just repackage them, or let's say you order a used item they could order from a cheaper seller and the item would be in a worse condition.

i contacted libazon on whatsapp and mentioned this, their reply was "don't worry we'll let you know if there is a problem with your order".
- huh nothing related to my question!

this is gonna be interesting ill wait and update here if anything new comes up.
