I use Burgan Bank and BKME bank both knet cards are not accepted in USWS online, only NBK debit cards are accepted. As for the credit card i use visa issued by BKME and it was not accepted either. Now my option is only to pay by cash. I called up the customer service and they said there is no additional fees or anything, a shipment of 19.5kg would cost you KD 69.000 if you pay by cash and USD 217.00 if you pay online. I found it little confusing and hard to digest. Cajie,

In your previous statement, you want USWS to offer multiple payments (they do that. You can pay by credit card, KNET etc.) If you follow this route, the exchange rate is calculated by the NBK payment gateway, and you end up paying exactly the KD value computed by NBK. So why would you want to pay by cash? Maybe they charged you some additional fees to convert you cash back into KD and thus losing on the exchange rate difference? Rejoy,

Don't get me wrong dear fellows I am 100% satisfied with their timely service Not even once it was delayed/lost or anything like that. USWS is the best. I was not comparing USWS with any other service but to itself. They raised an invoice for USD 217.000 (KD 59.500) and took KD 69.000 when i paid by cash. Any body who knows the exchange rate will feel the same thing what i felt.Thats all Other than that USWS is a very good service. OMG!!!

There should be a transition period for such things or at least they should keep collecting from the old address for about 2 weeks or something.
