Shipping from abroad (share your experience)

Hello! I so i ordered a dbrand skin last week For 17$(5$ shipping)and today I receive an Invoice from an aramex regarding customs clearance which was an ok 5000 L.L BUT “handling” costs around 29,000 L.L? Like at this point I'm paying for it being delivered more than the Item itself? Have anyone of you guys been through this before? Any recommendations b

They're taking 22k LL from me, it's because of corona. They're renting a charter.

Add to this, their exchange rate is still 1500 LL per $, which is fair.

I once had a chat with dbrand, i wanted to use their fedex option, they guarantee that you won't pay a penny other than what's shown on website.
That was 2 years ago, double check it.

Guys, many courries in the world like usps etc, are still not shipping to Lebanon, although the airport has been open for like a month, didn't we inform the world that we opened our airport again?
It's weird

NuclearVision wroteIs there anyway to tell how much customs fees will i pay on delivery with ups/fedex? dhl shows the amount you have to pay online, they have a much nicer online interface.
i got a fedex package, and a ups package is delayed in dubai for 4 days now... And this is express ups....
edit: the products are replacement/parts, i wonder if these are subject to clearance and import fees.

For customs: 21% on everything but PC parts, these have only 11% VAT. Magazines and books don't have customs

Ups parcel: duty of 6000lbp : they took a additional disbursement fee of 48000 seems like a small fixed dollar value. (real dollar hence the high LBP value).
Such thieves, I delt with dhl and fedex and didn't have to pay this kind of fee.
Avoid ups.

I'm planning to get a Dell xps from the US through Aramex's shopandship, it won't have an invoice but will be sent in its original package. Anyone has an idea how much I should expect as customs/handling fees? Is there anything to be worried about?

as far as i remember , it was long time, I have ordered small stuff before, shopandship will ask you for a bill, otherwise they will estimate a price for it.
Considering it is a laptop, not sure they might or still doing the same.

Hello, I have ordered multiple stuff from ALI Express like on month ago, still didn't receive them , anyone has received imported stuff from Ali Express after Beirut Explosion ? I am not sure if they are shipped by AIR or Sea...

anybody knows what is ups disbursement fees?
Looks like theft to me?

I doubt it's by boat, they always mention by plane but they pass by India and UAE before reaching us and they stock them there several days/weeks until they get sufficient amount.
New Delhi airport was totally closed for 2 months causing huge delays.
Now it's not as ''fast'' as before which was about 2 to 4 weeks between China and Lebanon but not too slow either, it's taking about 4 to 8 weeks on China post airmail and AE standard shipping.
What is weird is why they don't accept to send from Turkey, they have a huge stock there as well as in Poland but they still oblige us to buy from China

How long does Shopandship take to ship something from the states to our region?

uf thats kind of long, seems like i'll pay at the 3500 rate after all.

I think they take that long since coronavirus, I heard they were faster before

Anyone having issues with iherb---I placed an order in July and it mysteriously got to Germany and then got returned to them, like Lebanon doesn't exist. DHL shipped it to Germany and apparently was unable find another carrier to take it the rest of the way and it was returned. They were cool about it and just got a refund, but wondering if anyone else is having issues.

Not exactly an iherb issue, but i had the same issue with an order, they couldn't find any carrier to transport it to Lebanon

I'm still having the same issue, no one will ship to Lebanon, not from china not the states not europe.
Whats wrong??
