I am using Aramex Shop and Ship from more than an year now…

I think you are right… They have issues like delays in shipment.. and lack of customer support. After reading several times in your blog. I finally made my mind to give UShopWeShop a try….

It has lots of features like ship frequency and Ship Now feature.

But their Rates are up to the limits . Here is my General Comparison of Shipping Rates i m getting using Rate Calculator from both websites.

Aramex Rates USWS
USA to KSA (Jeddah) USA to KSA (Jeddah)
0.5 KG 17$ 0.5 KG 25$
1 KG 26$ 1 KG 40$

For smaller packages its fine .. Real Problem is when you want large packages. Suppose 10 or 20 KG

Aramex Rates USWS
USA to KSA (Jeddah) USA to KSA (Jeddah)
10 KG 195$ 10 KG 310$
20 KG 381$ 20 KG 5020$

I think its cheaper to use USWS in Kuwait .. but in Saudi Arabia… Aramex is more suitable….

I hope in future USWS gives us better rates for Saudi Arabia.

Actually, they do charge per 1 decimal point of a pound here in Saudi, a 0.4 pound item cost less than a 1 pound item. I noticed that recently ..

Does it mean that Aramex will charge the new rates on shipments that will be initiated from July 1st and onward?

ie: if an item got shipped from the NY box on 29 June and reached Kuwait on July 3, will the new rates be effective…

We would like to offer this feature first to our VIP clients in order to eliminate delays in delivery due to cash unavailability.

Are all Aramex clients VIP or are they referring to an actual category of their clients?
