Over the past few months, I have used Aramex (ShopAndShip) quite a bit. I find them to be the best and cheapest option available, and their rates remain very affordable.

What are the shipping and customs/VAT rates nowadays? I may try them for the first time in the near future
Aliexpress deliveries are being "fast" again, I am receiving stuff between 3 to 4 weeks after it's shipped

So when they say inflation charges for 14 USD, is that based on the declared value on the packaging? How did they come up with that 50,000 number?

Because that's all on top of the shipping fees. Granted it's all in liras, but still.

Code no longer works, FWIW. I'm not a Facebook user, so it's no surprise I didn't see it. An email would've been nice.
any idea if we can ship tablets using shopandship , and if they require clearance from MOT? want to buy the Tab S7 + keyboard
Does Shop and Ship charge any one-time setup fees when creating an account? Or is it free for non-Flex Members?

Dear Customer,

Starting January 1st 2022, Shop & Ship will collect shipping payments in USD only (cash or online) and customs charges will be collected in local currency (cash on delivery).

Thank you for your cooperation,
The S&S Team
Just got this email from sns. Not sure if this will apply to packages already on the way. Didn't like the short notice.
I shopandship and they said if packages arrive to BEY after jan 5, USD eill be collected.
While the short notice is really unkind, a trap i might say- i really benefited a lot from the 6000lbp per usd while usd was for 27000. So i'm happy to pay them back a little part.
I'm thinking of buying flex too, but i won't be able to order big packages from now on, that's for sure...
Perhaps if all of us email them they could extend the Jan 5 period?

I have 3 packages on the way so I emailed them and got a confirmation that only the packages received after 1 Jan will be payed in $. And i totally agree the 6000 rate was unfair, but i wish they notified us earlier, not like 2 days before.

Hello everyone,

I received my order today, and now Aramex charges in USD
I have paid 25USD in cash and 30,000LPB for a 1kg package from Amazon (around 580.000 total).

I paid much less for a bigger shipment a month ago (about 300.000 for around 2kg package) AND I paid all in LBP

I don't know if Shop&Ship is worth it these days
its ok, it was too good.
Now its fine with flex
i got an email that fees will be increased in feb 1st

ill wait and see

Yes, I just called them, and their shipping fees are now being collected in fresh starting this year (1st Jan).
So, expect to pay around 600.000 LBP for a 1kg package now (by the way, I'm on Flex. so higher if you're not a Flex user )

The weird thing is I received the receipt through my email in LBP. When I enquired about it, they told me they have to put the receipt in LBP since the official rate is still 1507 but they charge you in USD.

Do you think it's still worth it anymore?
whats the rate increase in feb 1 did you ask about it?
the email said it is a rate increase, on top of thebusd we are already paying
