Re: AliExpress in Lebanon

Guys do prepaid cards like pic actually work? And one more question did anyone buy a counterfeit product ? Will it cause problems and headaches with lebanese customs? Thanks.

Re: AliExpress in Lebanon

Any one has a problem tracking items on Singapore post from yesterday morning?

I guess since no one answered, that's a negative.

Has anyone ordered with DHL? Do they take extra import taxes for, say a phone?

Once you choose courier companies, your item will 100% go through customs and you will end up paying alot for it. But I don't know if it is possible to order a phone with the other mail companies (Hong Kong Post, Singapore Post, etc... if from the far east).

So everything is normal and I just have to wait?
Or should I fill a dispute?

Singapore Post is usually ok, as is Hong Kong Post. China Post is a disaster. It has been more than 2 months and my item hasn't arrived with China Post. Also 5 other items from Aliexpress (through China Post) are nowhere to be seen as well. This is the last time I buy from a seller that only uses China Post.

Always file a dispute before the time is up. Aliexpress won't do anything until the time is up anyway. So file the dispute like 5 days before the end. The seller will probably send you messages asking you to wait and that he doesn't refund slow shipments. You can wait while the dispute is open, it is fine. The seller might extend the delivery date, it is fine as well, eventually I think you will get your money back ( I am waiting to see if that will happen to me, 7 days left on the delivery date and the dispute is opened already).

Try to contact Libanpost and ask them. They must direct you.

Re: AliExpress in Lebanon

the shipment was with China post, Apparently you can track the item on libanpost website, you can go to the "track&trace" and choose "Other" and enter the tracking number... most of the item i shipped didn't show up there, i got a "no data found". however, one particular item that cost around $140 did show up with a statement of "Item handed over to Customs for clearance". 

The problem is that am very short on time, I tried to call them three already but got "all our lines are busy", so my units are being eaten by these hopeless calls! They don't have 24/7 support, so i can't call them when i return home nor on saturday since i leave home around 7am and return around 1pm . So email is currently the only efficient way of communication, am quite shocked that they replied to my initial email and where helpful.  Now i sent them another email on where to pay the customs but didn't receive anything back....

Re: AliExpress in Lebanon

When the item reaches liban post office in the airport you will be able to track it using their system . I havent received my item yet but i can see that it arrived to leb yesterday and it is now heading to the regional distribution center.

Re: AliExpress in Lebanon

"Item handed over to Customs for clearance" doesn't mean that one should go and pay customs. As noted by another user on lebgeek and an email from Liban Post.

Re: AliExpress in Lebanon

True, what about paying 1800$ for a chinese laptop?
Everything is being manufactured in china these days, cell phones, (samsung, nokia, LG) laptops (sony, hp, toshiba, asus)
So yes i paid for that and I don't regret it.

Re: AliExpress in Lebanon

Re: AliExpress in Lebanon

PEK means it's in the plane. Back in mid 2013, whenever i had PEK meant that I'll receive the item in 10 days. However these days the 10 days window is not so accurate anymore.

Your items are still in beijing waiting for departure. Don't worry you will get them eventually.

Re: AliExpress in Lebanon

If you wanna track the items shipped from China, use:
http://track-chinapost.com/track_chinapost.php

It shows you much more detailed and clearer info about the status and location and date, instead of showing PEK and NULL

@gamingindex if you ship through DHL you receive the item from DHL. And you will pay customs
