Re: AliExpress in Lebanon

I am not sure you can pay the amount for them using any USD card, my Internet card from Audi is limited for 80$ per month, you need to check with your bank but all the limits applied are low

Re: AliExpress in Lebanon

eSurf I think we can up to 500$ per week
It's bidden to my $ account, as I can't withdraw $ unless I go into 3 hours wait for only 100-200$, I prefer buying online in that case

Re: AliExpress in Lebanon

is shipping via EMS on Aliexpress a good idea or will the item be subject to customs and whatnot?

Re: AliExpress in Lebanon

Hi all,

I have ordered a reverse camera for my car for about USD150 from Aliexpress and chose Aliexpress Standard shipping.

According to tracking information, the reverse camera has arrived in Lebanon and was handed to customs for clearance this morning. But it also says "Held by customs, please contact customs or the seller."

So what does it really mean? Will the customs ask me to pay duty? And how do I even contact the customs about this particular parcel?! Your advice will be appreciated!

Re: AliExpress in Lebanon

Not really, aliexpress tracking is not accurate, use libanpost.com
Your camera is being scanned by customs and should be released within a week.
Just follow up on libanpost website and if you have to pay anything they will mention ut

Re: AliExpress in Lebanon

Guys, a seller wants to ship a product to me via TNT post.
Is that like normal china post (airmail) or is it like dhl with recurring fees and other costs?

Re: AliExpress in Lebanon

TNT is owned by FedEx - I don't think you will pay unless he pays and the item is not expensive.

Re: AliExpress in Lebanon

Is it me or Lebanese customs are slowing down AE stuff on purpose because they are afraid of corona?
I have 2 cables stucked with them for 10 days, it never took so much time before

bangood is like aliexpress the most important thing is the seller that you are dealing with
and it will come in like 1 month or more
and you must pay jemrok when it arrives
can i ask a question how did you buy it by internet debit card? or else

thanks for the reply, i orderd feb 26, when i had international limit on my card, as of 1 march the limit was removed.
regarding the jomrok, do you mean the tax related to IMEI with the 60 day grace period, or something else.

Re: AliExpress in Lebanon

I ordered some things yesterday and they put a 7 day timer on shipping from China end due to demand.

However last week I ordered and things shipped so just have to wait and see now. Is Liban Post even operating?

Re: AliExpress in Lebanon

Last week they delivered some stuff.
Not sure about this week though, I really hope they don't for the safety of the postmen really.

Re: AliExpress in Lebanon

Aliexpress anniversary is in 2 days, I will buy something and see what will happen
They say airport will open next week
Don't forget to clean the package with alcohol before opening it, though they say the virus can stay max 4 days on plastic and metal, the danger is not from China but Beirut airport customs

Re: AliExpress in Lebanon

I ordered 2 items , they left country of origin, I hope they will arrive here.

Anyway, I was trying to order a battery for my Nikon camera, they are saying that it can't be delivered to Lebanon because it's a Li-on battery, though they can with any European country, but I have found a pack charger + battery for just 15$ more that can be delivered to Lebanon!
How come they can't send a plain battery but they can do it for the same battery + charger?

Re: AliExpress in Lebanon

Im planning to buy PC parts from Aliexpress,  is it a good idea to buy right now considering how the shipment will be conducted and whether I will actually receive it in lebanon?
