Shipping from abroad (share your experience)

SnS is counting the $ at 1500 or black market rate for their shippings?

Last time an item was delivered to me by SnS was 2 weeks ago, the $ was 1500.

Aly wroteS&S is still counting 1usd @ 1515 rate (got a shipment yesterday).

Why are you not sharing all the invoices related to your shipment / shipments Aly?
This post is of your creation, your baby.
You should keep it fed!

My packages are still stuck at their office here after a week of waiting for them go fix the unqualified clearance agency's mistake.

1 order (3 items) was split into 2 separate packages, and the 3rd item was out of stock so I cancelled it. total cost is $365 for all items combined, $218 for the 2 items shipped (200 + 18).

Their unqualified agency after assessing the invoices, priced every package given the included total invoice "365$". They expect me to pay 350k LL for 218$ worth of items because of their own mistake.

After lots of back and forth, they waived the shipping fees and clearance charges.. but I still have to pay around 293k LL for customs.

Beware if it happens to you, always check the price set on their website and inform them if it's wrong.

I sent an email to SnS to make at least 4 of them into 1 package, they said no. I sent tgem another email saying I will not pay 150$ of shipments and customs for only 35$ of items while they definitely can make them into 1 package and make me pay 30$ instead. If they say no again I will ask them to cancel the orders and return them to amazon and I will cancel my SnS membership too

how come they cant ship them together? like are they gonna ship each item on a plane to increase the cost? i wish some day amazon can ship directly to lebanon so we stop relying on those money hungry companies.

I want aliexpress to come back to Lebanon :(
Do you think the airport will still open on 8th of June?

Aliexpress is still working, in fact they didn't stop

They had a bug in Germany, the shipment that arrived on saturday only showed yesterday, it showed multiple shipments instead if expected 1. I asked that they put them altogether or cancel them and return them to amazon, their Lebanese guy said he will try and will tell me. Today I resend him an email saying I will not pay the 5 shipments but 2 because it looks like they already shipped them, he answered he can just do 30% on the shipments costs, meaning it's still 140000 for just 35$ of covers. I answered him again that I won't pay 140000, no way, I will pay for 2 shipments that's all and besides it is theur fault if they were 3 days late to show the information, it's my right to cancel a shipment as long as it's still there but they had a bug a were late to give me the information
If their company is a good one they should do a real gesture and accept the 2 shipments fees instead of 5, if not then I will not pay and tell the delivery guy to take the goods with him

Thank you

The only way to avoid customs is to order from aliexpress, and that will need that the airport opens again

For PC parts there are no customs, only VAT so no 21% but 11%

How was your order shipped if I may ask--lots of things I have been looking at only ship with DHL or EWS now.
