are you an employee of ...are you an employee of ARAMEX?
PM said
I had nothing but trouble with Aramex ...I mainly ship books and DVDs that are related to my work. With Aramex, I had lost shipments, not to mention the ones confiscated by the Ministry of Information. When things are taken by the censors to review, Aramex not only doesn't give you that info, but they can't even tell you how to follow up -- nor do they follow up, either. I have lost quite a bot of money through Aramex, so will not use them again

I haven't tried shipping ...I haven't tried shipping directly to my mailbox as I was more concerned of confiscation than using Aramex. I'm Aramex but my only complain is that sometimes it takes a week for the item to arrive in Qatar after arriving in their offices in the US.
PM..
How many weeks does it take for Amazon to deliver their books here?

I pay for expedited shipping ...and usually get things within a week -- sometimes less.

PM , You Are ...right. I used Aramex because I have an account with them for 6 times. Out of those I got 2 with problems. The first one was a broken mug and they deny who is fault was that and blame it on the guys in the USA. The second one was when I bought LOTR Box set ... The main box that was holding all the books was broken. These people does not know how to handle these things with care and I'm wondering sometimes if they ever care about customers packages.

Generally I have found them excellent however... ...once had a dvd confiscated, so I thought, ok, once it is cleared it will be sent back to aramex office seeing as it was addressed to their premises. But oh no, according to them I had to retrieve it, and so began the long wild goose chase, amongst the wrong info they gave me, to find out where it was located- It turned up at the central Post Office.
They claimed that it was not their fault but was the law that the name on the parcel could only claim it.
Apart from that no problems

Out of the 6 orders I made ...Out of the 6 orders I made shipped to my US mailbox, I only encountered once where my parcel was shipped only after almost two weeks. But for the rest, these were shipped within a week after these were received in my mailbox.
Yesterday, UPS delivered to my mailbox the 80gb ipod classic I ordered and it was posted by Aramex today in my mailbox. I just hope no delays this time.

I've been using it for 2 years! ...I've been using it for 2 years now and all my techno stuff were bought at amazon.com. So far nothing was confiscated. Just be careful if you order expensive items because qatar customs will apply tax on it. Compared to the prices at the malls here, amazon.com is cheaper even adding the shipment with aramex. And regarding the handling of the box by aramex personnel, it should not be new to us that you receive a damage box from an air freight courier because almost all of the airport everywhere in the world throw these boxes during transfers. Just be sure to instruct the shipper to have a good packaging and sometimes its better to insure it.

Hi ...I am planning to buy my wife a watch for her birthday and I saw a very good price in amazon.com. If ever I want it to be shipped here in Qatar, do you have any advise on how to oter than Aramex? Your help is very much appreciated.

why not aramex. ...Aramex is the best , really i have excellent experience with them, all my friends as well.

I haven't lost anything with ...I haven't lost anything with them since November last year ( When i got the account). Bought laptops, Nintendo Wii & DS, toys, VS, and everything arrived perfectly.. again, only almost after a week in the US. A bit delayed but can still live with it instead of not having any options. There are a lot of Online stores that don't deliver Internationally so the Aramex Address is great... Hopefully, the service improves for those who had some bad experience with them.

What DVD was confiscated? ...What DVD was confiscated? Just curious.
adey said
namabiru ...had a Japanese art house film confiscated for inspection because of the dvd cover artwork. They watched the film then gave it back to me. I doubt they watched it to the end as it would have bored them stupid. It had nudity and sex scenes in it but it wasn't porn - thus it's returned.

hello,, ...I am planning to buy camera lens and other accessories for my dslr at amazon costing around 1400 USD. I already have the aramex account and address, I just want to know first if Qatar customs are going to charge taxes for these things?
Thanks & regards
xtian001 said
Tax for items over $2000 ...It says on Aramex that customs won't charge tax for items not going above US$2000. I've bought a laptop for about US$1500 but was never taxed. I'm even of buying an LCD if prices are ok and if shipping it won't cost me more than buying it here....
