Aramex global shopper

15% of the value declared

Someone gave a calculation earlier in thread

1 x exchange rate x 1.15 x 1.1 = cost?

Please check as my off the top of my head recollection may be inaccurate.

happy new year everyone, so it seems my phone went to customs in the UK and not the aramex office, saying they awaiting payment from recipient. anyone experience this before?

Hmmm there seems to be import tax from NL to UK. Probably would've been better to use another EU address other than the UK who left the EU.

that sucks, so i would have to pay tax again when it gets to SA? but who will pay the tax in the uk initially? Aramex? how would they get the parcel from customs then?

Why would you have selected a Uk delivery address instead of one in NL or another EU country ?

Quick question,

I ordered some hot sauce from the USA and I thought I'd only be crying when I got to try it out, but it looks like Aramex want me to feel the burn before it arrives.

Is R401 for shipping costs normal? I was expecting around R200.


for those interested, this is the hot sauce:

Did you calculate the price using the weight and zone on the website?

15oz = 425g then you must add weight of packaging. If its over 500g you pay for 1kg without flex.

Actually content of the bottles are 15oz. Also add weight of the glass or plastic bottles.

Looks like glass to me from photos. That would be close to 1kg so R400 seems very plausible

Website says size it's 5oz per bottle which is 141g. My conservative guesstimate was that it would be about 700g total incl. packaging, perhaps 1 kg at most - which the shipping calculator says is R373.

I just wonder if it's common for Aramex to mess up the weighing and if so, what recourse do you have?

*I'm on Flex.

I see you ordered the phone while UK was still part of EU, but arrived after they left the EU

Alright. Its 3 bottles right? That glass is deceptively heavy. But you can always request that they weight the package again. Keep in mind, that will obviously add delays to your package.

Agreed. For the sake of getting it delivered, I'll pay but I'll measure the package when it arrives and report back on the thread.

yes i ordered 2 other phones a few months before and had no issues so never thought about selecting a other address

Not sure if this has been asked before but has anyone ever imported and used ags then get asked to supply bank statements to clear customs?

I hardly import but the last 2 times I imported the first time I supplied bank statements an my shipment got delivered 4 months later. The second time it happened i told them to forget about it for the time to wait and to share my bank statements..

havent tried importing since.

Yes with other couriers I had to supply bank statements. Sars can access yours accounts anyway, so better just give it to them.

Been asked before. Gave it them and also highlighted the specific transaction to make it easy for them. Waited 3-4 weeks for those imports.

My package was delivered to the Frankfurt address on Wednesday 6th Jan, but still does not show up under 'My Packages'. I've used the New York address a few times previously (pre-covid), and the packages showed up almost immediately.
Should I be concerned, or give it a few more days?

Give it a few more days. Mine took about 10 days to Frankfurt depot, posted to them from Frankfurt...
