Re: AliExpress in Lebanon

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.

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

Re: AliExpress in Lebanon

anyone noticing big delays ?

2 of my items arrived on the same plane at the same time, one of them came in, held,and released from customs while the other is only "item recieved at Beirut..."and not even " at customs clearance ".... what's the deal? any thoughts?

one last thing, do they work between 23-2 (of course holidays excluded) or like schools/unis it's all off days

Re: AliExpress in Lebanon

I got this parcel shipped with Hong Kong Post, it got collected by the post office BUT the status didn't change yet, after 10 days. Is it normal? posted to the office and hasn't shipped it using hong kong post?

Also, I had 2 packages shipped with China Post a day after each other. The second one arrived in 20 days, all in all I got the package after 1 month. On the other hand, the first one hasn't arrived to Lebanon yet, almost 1 month and 10 days so far. It "should" arrive I guess, it's a big package though.

Anyone experiencing delays with chinapost? I have an item marked departed to final destination since 05/12/2016 and nothing yet. Usually items arrive in max 30 days.

Re: AliExpress in Lebanon

Yes, expect a 2-3 weeks delay. Since the 11/11 very few items arrived within the regular month. I even had to open a few complaints to get reimbursed for a few things that didn't arrive

Hi
I see some people could buy from aliexpress without paying airport customs, can you buy a Xiaomi phone without paying customs from aliexpress?

Re: AliExpress in Lebanon

As you can see above, most people who buy items using China post /Hong Kong post / ali express standard shipping ect. Very rarely pay customs, me included,regardless of the item.

So the short story is yes, in 95% of the cases you don't pay customs.

I ordered in the recent years more than 10 xiaomi phones and only the last time I had to pay a 25$ customs fee. So you're probably good unless you get unlucky but that's not a big amount to pay!

I recommend you contact the seller and ask if he can change the item description to something other than cellphone (phone case etc..) and also change the price on the package. Some sellers will accept and other wont.

Re: AliExpress in Lebanon

hey guys, when aliexpress says that delivery time takes 53-60 days, does it really take that long to arrive? or it can take less?

how come i often hear people say it takes 3-4 weeks to lebanon? knowing that none of the suggested free or low cost shipping methods offer a shipping time that is less than 37 days!

Re: AliExpress in Lebanon

The average time is 40 days to 60 , some items take a whole lot more (i usually open a dispute if i didn't receive it after 60 days) , others arrive earlier .

Re: AliExpress in Lebanon

Liban Post are being assholes, they are not delivering most of the packages, they mark them as failed to deliver, and then they call you and say you have to pay 5000 LBP to get them re-delivered.

Coincidently (probably), Liban post started selling low end items (USB flash disks, USB cables....) in their offices or through fast delivery, they are even having a competition between their employees on who will sell more. Basically, go to any Liban post office, and the lady or the guy behind the desk will beg you to buy some item from them... Pathetic.

I had an issue with one item. I called the guy who delivers me the packages. He told me that I had a package that he knew it was for me but his supervisor requested to send it back to libanpost main office due to a misspelling:D
So i had to pay them 5000 in order to get it back.
