Aramex global shopper

[dj_jyno]

As for my latest fun experience with Aramex, a package delivery has been dragging for two months now. They completed the SAD500 form incorrectly (stating the package contains a television set, not a monitor), after receiving an invoice clearly stating that it's a monitor.

Customs hit me with a R1500 penalty because the information on the form needed to be updated, so there was a bit of to-and-froing until Aramex accepted liability for their mistake and paid the penalty. The shipment has been labelled as "Cleared from customs" for the past 7 days.

Quick question regarding their NY address. I entered the address on Etsy and it changed it to:

18221 150th Dr
CPT *****
SPRINGFIELD GARDENS, NY 11413-4014
United States

Is this correct? Looks quite a bit different to the one Aramex provided.

So here's my latest experience with Aramex.
Have another parcel coming in from Amazon and Aramex has send me the customs email, but heres the catch, its an Indian form they want me to complete with Indian information.
Aramex website shows that its coming to South Africa, everything is correct, but it wants me to submit Indian national documents.

Turns out Aramex has sent my parcel to India and is now being no help at all to get it shipped to South Africa

Thank you

Thank you

Rather use MyUS. Avoid using Aramex, they are fairly useless, stuff up often and have 0 customer support.

Using FNB shouldn't be a problem

Actually SAPO surprised me, a package left China and a month later it was in my hands.

I have shipped 2 packages from the Mumbai address in the last two months without issues. What is the problem?

I've now had a package at the US address (New York) for a week without any movement. Haven't even been charged for shipping yet. Contacted them on Twitter and they told me there are "huge delays"

Parcel was shipped from USA to India instead of USA to South Africa.
It some how got redirected to India and now its stuck in a loop of Aramex asking me for Indian identification.

Amazon dot co shipped an item with DHL the other day, for me.

Aramex finally delivered all my stuff.

 

[milan188]

MyUs updated their shipping rates from USA. Its now very similar to Aramex. It is about R50 more expensive on a 1kg package. So it might even be cheaper because you won't have to pay US sales tax.

So the most bizarre thing happened to me.

There is a Kanex Thunderbolt to USB3/ethernet adapter for about 60 CAD on a site called ZHLCHIP.COM which appeared to be in Canada as it had Canadian dollar prices. I purchased the item and paid with PayPal and used the Aramex address for Canada. The site however kept silent and did not send out the adapter, what's more the site is now offline and it appears to be a scam site, https://www.zhlchip.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=790541

So I filed a case with PayPal to get a refund. Guess what, the seller now shipped the item out via Fedex... but 48kgs! of them. Fedex tracking has 4 shipments going from Switzerland to Canada, ON to my Aramex address. So I let Paypal know ... in response. Never mind that this is 4 pieces totaling 48kg what's worse is that even if they sent out one adapter I'd also be liable for a payment of Canadian GST and import tax - not sure how that would work with Aramex - and then SARS taxes here. What a st-ff up.

Lol

I don't know what to make of that

Lol

I don't know what to make of that

Aramex said telephonically I should do a package claim with the fedex details. I also emailed the seller on his Paypal email address. I have no idea why they're sending me 4 boxes with a total of 48kg in them.

So the seller appears to be in China with a @163.com email address.


but the shipment is coming from WOLHUSEN LU
which is in Lucerne, Switzerland.

The seller is called this: Harbin Ziyuan Pharmacy Chain Co., Ltd.

Dafuq?
