Question about online shipping !

The best advice I can give you about this company is to google them, using keywords such as "scam" "rip-off" and "BBB" make sure you check out the Better Business Bureau's website to see if there are any complaints against them.

You mean ARAMEX?
I've done some business with them before
I bought something online and it came to me with no problems
They are pretty popular here

Oh, okay... well there you go then

OK I tried one more time the online chat with a different person

Quote:

...........Shady: I will have a shipping address in US
Shady: When you are ready to make your online purchase, insert your Shop&Ship address as follows: For the USA: Street address: 147-29 182nd Street Apartment or Suite #: Your Shop&Ship Box # City: Springfield Gardens State: NY Zip Code: 11413
Shady: That's from their website
Hasil: Unfortunately that would not work. Newegg.com will verify the address with your bank. Unless that address is noted with your bank and they can verify it, your order would not go through.

What's up with that?
Isn't it possible for someone to buy something and pay for it online and ship it to (for example) his friend's house as a gift ?

Yeah...I don't think they verify the address with the bank...or if they do, maybe you can try shipping it as a gift to the address in New York (different billing and shipping addresses).

Also, $9 per half kilo and $5.50 per additional half kilo sounds like a lot...are you sure it's more cost effective then just buying more locally? Also, you have to make sure that American products will work in Egypt...a lot of electronics use different standards, voltages, etc.

**Shady** · 12-11-2006, 10:44 PM

Yes it's cost effective.
9$ is not too much at all, remember it's from USA to Egypt, that's a lot of distance.
I'm gonna look into this Mailbox issue later on.
If anyone have more info about this please post it

They varify it with your credit card company, or paypal account. This is one of the steps they take:

Step 2: Verification and fraud prevention measures are complete. Your credit/debit card has not yet been charged.
