Aramex Doesn’t Ship Animals

Yesterday I mentioned I saw a kid with a puppy and when I asked him where he got it from he said Amazon.com. He told me it cost KD50 for the dog and KD100 shipping.

I tried to find dogs on Amazon and wasn’t able to find any. I guess the kid found an external link (like an advert) on Amazon but actually purchased the dog from another US based website. I also emailed Aramex to see if they shipped animals and I got the following reply:

Dear Mark,

Thank you for contacting us via email regarding your below request.

Kindly note that pets can not be shipped via express. Live Animals shipping is complicated and requires special documents and laboratories tests at both origin and destinations before being shipped.

Please accept our apology for not being able to help you much with your request.

Kindest Regards

So I guess the kid had the dog shipped directly to Kuwait. I should have gotten more information from him…

    Or maybe the kid got the dog from a pet store and told you he got it from Amazon.

    How come you are not blacklisted by Aramex?

    I got a cat for my sister through the net. Just find a reputable breeder online who will ship worldwide (there are more than you would think there would be) - preferably in Europe and they’ll deliver the dog/cat to Kuwait airport. Then you just get the dog from them - there’s a whole process you have to go through for Kuwait airport bas we managed to do it to get the cat. Good luck!
