Shipping from abroad (share your experience)

I noticed this today in my email when Shop&Ship activated my account.

These are their fees for now considering the 1$ = 3900LBP

I got another shipment with Shop&Ship. It took one week to arrive.

I ordered a Monitor Arm from Amazon

This time there was no tracking in the USA so I thought it was lost. After that, the shipment history got updated when it arrived in the UAE.

I paid 250000 LBP for the (shipping fees, customs, handling, and VAT) which is very good since the weight of the shipment is 7.13 pounds (3.23 Kg).

The cost of the shipment is 25$ but the customs valued it 150000 LBP and took 36000 LBP (24%). I think because the box was big and heavy.

Due to the limited quantity of baby milk supply in Lebanon, I will be ordering Milk for my baby from abroad.
I found the Milk we regularly use in UK. I usually use MyUS to order stuff from USA, but never tried any shipping facilitator in UK.

Which shipping agency can i deal with to deliver such product from UK to Lebanon?

shopandship

Use www.shopandship.com

Their fees for now considering the 1$ = 3900LBP and you will pay the (shipping fees, customs, handling, and VAT) here in LBP. Don't pay them online in USD.

Check this below for the handling and clearance fees if you are going to order a big quantity.



Also, reach out to them on Twitter to make sure you can ship milk with them.

Once I ordered a protein powder online, upon arrival, Liban Post refused to hand it over to me before I get a clearance from the Ministry Of Health that this product complies with some safety regulation. Please double-check this as well.

I have ordered protein powder and other supplements online with no issues so far. I haven't had to deal with the not so bright people at Libanpost however as each time it had come through DHL. Regular milk and infant milk shouldn't be too much of an issue IMO. Just have to hope that you get someone with common sense to clear it at customs.

You're welcome! Ironically, I didn't even see your post, I just saw the offer on Instagram today and had to share it with everyone here.

tricky wroteAramex Shop & Ship. When I try to locate an office am getting "Sorry, we are not available in this country.". And cant seem to find much information about the services in Lebanon

And thanks for sharing the $1 promo! Hopefully they are stick active in Lebanon lol


Just checked some of the guys invoice shared here, what is Inflation charges?

I'm guessing it's their way of compensating for the raise of the dollar if you want to pay in LBP

it is, say 10usd for shipping they will charge you, 15000lbp and 25000 inflation charges

It's good we can still buy stuff online, or else it would be the "cubanisation" of Lebanon, meaning we would have the same tech and cars for the 40 years to come while the whole world is evolving

It is just accelerating deterioration because of consumerism. Cubanization is inevitable.

YOU can buy still but most of the people can't, so if the 10%(maybe less) have shiny cars next year that doesn't mean anything, it doesn't make the situation any better, and those are becoming less and less as we speak
