who got a shop and ship account? I'm not able to signup for an account with my credit card.

My laptop battery died, it's not the usual laptop battery, it's built in, I shipped one to dhleasyshop but they won't ship it,
although I heard from online reviews that shop and ship will ship it.

If anyone has an account and could lend a help here, with his address in US, I'd be paying the shipping costs?

Also in return I'd get you an item from amazon for 300$ that you'll have to pay for then you get the money back.
(not sure if you can pay with credit card that much online nowadays)
On my experience shop and ship even worse with batteries.
Sometimes they don't notice, but it's sometimes.
IATA regulations is same for all air shipping.

You can't ship batteries with aramex, it's prohibited. I tried to order once a battery for a phone and they discarded it.

I don't understand what do you mean here?

call Aramex and ask if you can ship standalone batteries with S&S

shopandship and dhl stuff are going through normally, they are just ignoring aliexpress stfuff
Its more like dhl and aramex go after their stuff, while aliexpress stuff (normal airmail) is handled by customs eithout any broker etc. So it takes time (no one going after these packages).
+ They get $$ with private couriers like dhl, while 90% of aliexpress stuff pass free.
Though this game they are playing of postponing AE shipments is not at theur advantage, because the more they postpone the more they will have accumulated shipments. In a normal day they would have 150 packages to check, now with 2 months accumulation, they will have to check 1500 per day

I shipped a laptop stand from Amazon USA to test them as I am looking to buy more items.

It departed Dubai to Lebanon. Very very fast.

I will keep you updated once I receive my shipment.

watch out, last time they tried to trick me to pay at 8500 rate. The postman was either tricking me or too naive, i doubt the latter.

I know. Last time I shipped an item with Aramex "Not S&S" to my friend's work office in summer. The postman asked for 30000 LPB and my friend paid without asking for an invoice. He told him "هي للجمارك".

I called them and I asked them for the invoice so they sent it to my email.

My shipment arrived in Beirut and from what I saw on S&S website, the charges are cheaper than what I expected. Will post everything once I receive the shipment.
I used S&S two weeks ago and i paid at a rate of 1500LBP. The shipping and handling charges were $20 and the delivery man insisted that i had to pay 30kLBP not more, for some reason they took the delivery charges at 1500 rate also Customs were at 1500 it is werid.
they will call you and claim they want more, happened to me.

Can you share the invoice here?
And when you received the shipment and paid for it, did they give you an invoice?

I got my shipment today and I paid more than the invoice they sent.

They wrote the total on the shipment box. I will share the full details after getting an answer from them about what happened.

Did you sign on that you receive the shipment? and when you paid for it, did they give you an invoice?
