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?

Why would they increase the rate just to Lebanon if they are already started getting usd.

Who knows... we just have to wait and see if they increase or decrease the rate.
S&S has a new design for the website. Also, they changed their rate a bit for the USA.



I saved the old rate to compare them to the new ones. Keep in mind that I have S&S Flex Membership, so you will get the best shipping fees.

They are the same now. I didn't use eve before and I don't know their fees, but I think S&S is faster.

Hi.

As many of you know, Amazon charges you extra taxes on your purchases.
According to an article, you can message Amazon with the information that your goods are shipped outside of the U.S. and they will refund the taxes.

is that right?

Yes that's correct.
You'll pay the taxes first, no way around that.

And once you receive the shipment, you need to send them all shipment details like the invoice, tracking number, shipping label etc...
Then they will refund you as Amazon credit.

I wish I had known that a long time ago. That's something I should do every time and for every item, right?

So what would I send them specifically?

Hello everyone,

A friend of mine wants to ship a small Bose portable speaker from the to US to Lebanon. (He already shipped it to a friend's house but this person will not be coming to Lebanon anytime soon).

Any recommended shipping service? (I have no idea whether ShopandShip would work in this case, since the speaker has already been shipped)

Thanks
