Checked X570 motherboards, it's x2 the price of US
Also AMD Ryzen 3800x is 350$ in the US, Libanzon = 610$

Nikon 35mm f1.8 S for Z series is 820$ in Germany, Libazon? 1350$

Libazon is a huge NO!

dude you pay on $1=1500 lbp

And??
Base prices are way more expensive than amazon + SnS
It's like they are counting 1$ = 3000LL

Edit: The Nikon lens in Libazon is a Used item at 1350$ vs NEW at 820$ on amazon, I really don't see where it's a bargain

it depends you are buying from ebay so you might find good deals i am going to buy a phone from them and it will cost me 900000lbp  if i wanted to buy the same phone i have to pay more than double in lebanon

amazon 820$ x 4000L.L = 3,280,000 L.L without taxes and shipping to leb.
libazon 1350$ x 1500L.L = 2,025,000 L.L with taxes, shipping, and delivery to your door.

go for it then, my byblos card is now $50 per month and $200 per year so that would not be possible.

im not defending them im defending their pricing, if your account is in lebanon you have a lollar account and you cant pay online above 50$, if you have an account abroad you still gonna pay full price in usd, and pay for shipping and customs.
you can transfer those dollars here and convert to lbp then pay libazon, you save like 50%.

i ordered fujifilm x100v, costs 1400$ on amazon. add to that the cost of shipping and taxes we are looking at 1800$ thats 7,200,000 LBP
while on libazon it costs 3,700,000 delivered to my door, thats 3,500,000 LBP saved, what dont you understand?

Correct ,and you need to be careful not to buy a phone region locked to europe,i avoid doing that by contacting the seller on ebay,by the way i heard that if you buy a google pixel phone you won't have to pay taxes because there is no google in lebanon wich means libanpost can't get the retail price of the phone so after 90 days the phone will continue working but either i am not buyin a google phone

Re: Libazon reviews

I am not here to defend anyone, but you sort of have to sit back and measure apples to apples.  I placed an order yesterday for about 300,000LL of random stuff.  I initially wanted to get some ram for my laptop, but I did find that a lot of the inexpensive prices were for used/reconditioned or opened ram, and I decided not to take that chance (I ordered from another site instead).  Now for me, I price out everything at 3000LL to the dollar as I have dollar accounts and that is what the bank is allowing me to withdraw from the ATM at (at least the first $500 from each account).  Now, something like the protein powder I mentioned earlier is a bargain if I can get it for around 150000 LL because that would equate to less than $50 for me, while in other stores here it is much more expensive, and even in the UAE, it is around 400 AED (115ish dollars).   Just pick and choose where you get stuff and if you don't like the service move on.  And Aliexpress was charging almost nothing for the ram, but multiples of it for shipping and you still never know if you have to pay anything else when it gets here.

I am going to go to OMT today or tomorrow (when I find them open) and pay for my order and see what happens next.  Hopefully it works out, otherwise I will use another service I have been using.

Re: Libazon reviews

Fellows ,  I don't know why many are still having  doubt about this service. I have a skpetic personality by nature ,  and I have done  a very comprehensive due diligence against them. I have everything against them to sue them , they are registered in the NSSF and MoF. I work in the government,  and I can utilize my connections to hurt them. However,  this this is not the case since they are ACTUALLY delivering. Paying in USD is not a way with them ,  since as I have repeatedly said,  they inflate their USD to adjust for currency devaluation then multiply the amount by 1515. Nevetheless ,  they are much better than all shipment companies here riding the wave and sniping on the high dollar rate. Best prices go for Libazon , period. Libazon is genuine 100%. Without diving into their pricing details, if  Items are  delivered vs prices of :

Shipped.io
Iship
Ubuy
Eve Concierge
Desertcart

Libazon will be number choice to me. All others services are overrated and highly priced , especially in this economic crises. The end result what I do care all about without being too picky about how they price things.

Genuinity (Checked)
Delivery (Checked)

Both checked , they are number one to me,  no question. In this economic down spiral , my primary purpose is to save money. Libazon ,  till now ,  supports this reason.

I issued before  a red flag for  their director about the "fishy" trust pilot issue. Nevetheless ,  when I saw them delivering , I donot care now about TrustPilot. Every company might have a marketing strategy ,  and Libazon do fail in that. Shipped.io don't have a Trustpilot metric ,  but my experience are horrible with them. Libazon is paying Trustpilot US$349.00/month .

Just payed at OMT---apparently he took his time today because of the holiday.  Usually he is there at 9, today at 11.  In any case, as I was walking back, I got the confirmation from them and now I will wait and see.

Lol--not the only ones--I have seen other sites with furniture too. .  Unless it is boxed up like Ikea, I don't know how it can be shipped here at any reasonable cost.

How much do you think a regular store that sells you a phone is making off the phone? Perhaps their prices are lower because they are not greedy.

Re: Libazon reviews

Update#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".

Re: Libazon reviews

i am not questioning if they are legit or no, but seriously how can they exchange the rate for 1515 LL? how can they pay for the items if all customers are paying in LBP? and what about for their continuity?

i payed for my order yesterday at OMT, i also whatsapp them after and they confirmed for receiving the payment (a sweet female voice replied to me lol)
