Aramex global shopper

[lived666]

Service from AGS has gone down since I started using it more and more. And the price has gone up too.

I'll look into PostBox-Courier.com as well. Is there a specific MyBB thread on it? My Google fu is not strong today.

but its not worth using them for odds and ends or low value items, even with all their crap, aramex is still worth it for lowish value items.

That's the nicest thing you have said about Aramex for a long time. Methinks you had your coffee this morning.
True what you say about low value items - as long as you are with FNB and can use the promo code discount (first five digits on card and then SHIP).

Thanks a lot.

I did a quick comparison for a 1.8 KG parcel. PBC came to R595 and AGS is R514. Add to that the R75 discount via the FNB promotion, as you say AGS is compelling despite the downturn in service.

So I have an item waiting for payment (R200). Given my experience with aramex I wanted to see what they charge me for customs and what they value the items at ( it was free as a gift from seller in US). Will the item still go through customs or will they wait for me to make payment first?

Thanks.

Another thing to think of is AGS Protect. Do postbox courier offer such a service?

Is this gift item valued at R200? If so, there will be no duty. Customs only perk up their ears and take notice when you bring in items from about R450 and above.

I used AGS twice about a year and a half ago. They were not bad, but they have not impressed me at all. For my US purchases I rather stick with MyUS.

I have 10 parcels coming today
Poor delivery guy. I feel sorry for him, but they have been slowly gathering in JHB since Thursday with no movement.

Quick poll:
How many of us use the way out origin addresses?
I use Shanghai often, but have never used the UAE, Thailand, Korea, Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, Georgia, Australia or Indonesia.

Smart Saver
Get more savings on multiple packages that are shipped together to you. Ship more, save more!

But cost R1500 once off, few other benefits also.

We had a quick discussion about Flex not that long ago. Great for people not with FNB, who can use the R75 shipping discount.

Poor man arrived with 10 parcels, amongst which was an Echo Tap, and an Echo first edition I won on an eBay auction that actually turned out to be an Echo 2nd edition.

Haha, as long as there was a tip.

He arrived moments after The Courier Guy who came in with two 25 litre water containers so I couldn't give any tip. I was happier to see The Courier Guy.
Yeah, yeah, I live in Cape Town, where every drop of water is saved so we can flush the loo twice a day.

 

[Sayf777]

Eish thats hectic. And painful. Hope you'll get beneficial rain soon.

You expect a fast delivery now?

Maybe not so fast, like this parcel, a parcel cleared from customs 2 days ago that I might (or might not) get tomorrow.

8 days from order in US to JHB, then 4 days in customs seems a bit ridiculous.
