Aramex global shopper

@DeeinSouthAfrica

How can i use Taobao without a chinese bank account? It seems as though alipay wants me to authenticate my identity (ID/Passport no) and provide it with a chinese bank account number?
 
So, I directed an order to the Springfields address, and I see they received the package this morning and is currently at the sorting facility.

The estimated date for delivery is 26 August. Is this normally accurate or can I expect something else (better or worse)?
 
Im struggling to add the chinese addess to my Taobao account.
Its complaining that i need to provide a street address and suggests
"Xinhong Street". Is this correct?

Also its not accepting the +86 4006318388 number. It states that:"The
phone number format is incorrect. Please re-enter"

Anyone have any advice?

Thank you @DeeinSouthAfrica

This is where i get a bit lost:
"Since then, it's changed our lives (better? worse?) and become second nature for those of us living in China. "
"Here is where you enter your Chinese bank card number. You can add foreign debit and credit cards here too, but to add funds into your Alipay balance you’ll need to add the Chinese one first. "

Do you have an Chinese bank account? And did you provide them with your ID/Passport?

I ordered a part for my friends super bike from eBay UK which was delivered on the 21st by Hermes. To date the AGS app/ website has no info about it. How do I go about about finding out what's going on with my parcel? The JHB call centre keeps asking me 'What would I like them to do' when I call.
 
I'm having the same issue with the UK Aramex office. What makes it worse, my item was shipped without a tracking number.
 
Aramex is a waste of space on this planet.

2 Packages from China - basically the same thing with a very minor weight difference.
One went DHL, one went Aramex
The Aramex was 50% cheaper than the DHL

DHL : Took 4 days from China to Johannesburg. 1 day to clear customs, 1 day to deliver.
Aramex: Took 5 days from China to Johannesburg. 3 days it sat at customs with no emails and they told me no invoice for payment yet then they sent me an invoice finally.
8 days later, it cleared customs. They kept blaming OR Tambo Customs.. (weird no one else does..)
2 days later they deliver it.

DHL: 6 days to door
Aramex: 18 days to door.

Will next touch Aramex again.

Email [email protected] with the tracking number and explain that it hasn't shown up in your account for x days.
Once it's above 3 days they do investigate it, and it will probably be found in the origin to have been missing your AGS account number.
I've found quicker results by phoning them, 011 457 3000, then global shopper option

Thank you. Going to do that today.

Quite simply put:

DHL is express.
Aramex Global Shopper is Economy.
Aramex do have an Express option for people in a hurry for their shipments.

Your parcel waited for space on the airplane. If the plane was full of Aramex Express shipments your parcel got bumped off.
In SA at customs your parcel waited for Aramex to first clear the Express shipments, as those people paid way more for fast service.

Aramex Global Shopper is a cheap and sometimes nasty service, but you do receive your parcel eventually.

Yes, it's slow, but you get what you pay for.
 
How do I buy a phone from Aliexpress using Aramex Global shopper? Ship to Hong Kong?
