Thinking of ordering music gear from Germany. They have UPS Express at checkout which is considerably cheaper than using Aramex Global Shopper. The UPS google reviews locally are terrible though.

Both bad and good experiences - in ZA it's the driver for that day as RNG.
Also see a lot of reviews moaning about them trying to tack on extra fees and making the payment of duties etc. quite difficult.

No way you can use amazon US / UK for this? Sorry I thought you were going through amazon - well we all know scots is now turned **** so not sure what else there is to do here. I won't do a direct country to country and not use someone like amazon just for very easons you just mentioned.
Nah it's from a store in Germany. Usually I would just use Amazon but they don't stock this item. I'm using Aramex Global Shopper for another non-Amazon US order so will see how that goes, just a bit unsure about UPS Express as it's all the German place offer. Unless I want to pay more and use Aramex Global.

They are difficult to deal with, but you do get your goods, unlike the postal service. The extra charges complaint is probably people who dont understand vat, duty and disbursement fees. They cant really rip you off, unless they make a mistake. You can check the duty code yourself as well.
For business where we have a choice, we havent used them for years, and for express use DHL. For personal if there is options I also use DHL.
