Default Question about online shipping !

Hey guys
I found this shipping company that offers something that will allow me to buy from newegg or any online store that doesn't ship to my country
http://www.aramex.com/shopandship/About.aspx

I don't have any experience in online shopping so I need advice
Should I take this offer ?
Also what about this one ?
http://www.aramex.com/shopandship/WebSurferCard.aspx
Is it safe to deal with it online ?

Suggestions please

I havent dealt with them personally, but it looks like a reputable company.

how much are they charging for a fee to ship from newegg to you?

I always thought that to be the case myself. Most reputable online stores require a signature at the other end to cover their asses. You might want to phone or email Newegg and find out.

I dont have to sign anything when newegg ships out my items, however that may be because when they first delivered I signed a signature release form.

and the person who talked to me was not friendly at all.
I don't think she got my point
I'm not happy

Online chat is useless, lol, they probably didnt even graduate 3rd grade.

Just use the online chat and see if they deliver to PO boxes, and if someone has to be there to sign for it.
