   Mark, with usws i get most of my packages held in customs, aramex none, and they ask you to sign and pay nearly 20 kd to get it out for you, thats a ripoff, i got my packages out of customs in an hour and paying 5 kd, why the hell do they charge that much to do the work for you?

3. 3. Enigma | June 18th, 2008 at 5:57 pm

   How much are the charges for USWS?

4. 4. ar53nal14 | June 18th, 2008 at 6:06 pm

   WHAT?! I ordered something and it’s gonna arrive on Saturday! Will i have to pay the new prices or the old ones?! Last time they increased the prices was less than 6 months ago!

5. 5. K.theKuwaiti | June 18th, 2008 at 6:27 pm

   They couldn’t have made it 2.750 / 2.250??

6. 6. Ahmad | June 18th, 2008 at 6:30 pm

   Didn’t they just raise their prices??

7. 7. Nobu | June 18th, 2008 at 6:46 pm

   USWS site doesn’t have much info like where they’re located and how much they charge, not even in the FAQ section! Some links are not links, just dead text and now their entire website is gone! It says server error!

8. 8. 3baid | June 18th, 2008 at 7:56 pm

   Aramex new logo and new worse prices.

9. 9. blasha | June 18th, 2008 at 9:20 pm

   i ain’t defending anyone, esp aramex… They sux in every way possible, BUT, increasing the prices is a MUST since the oil prices got so high!!!! How you think they bring the packages here? On camels??? The use planes that use fuel that is made out of oil that price got way off charts!!!!

10. 10. Mark | June 18th, 2008 at 9:24 pm

    DHL and USWS don’t seem to have a problem

11. 11. Laialy_q8 | June 18th, 2008 at 9:48 pm

    I want to see the market research they did in order to come to this conclusion

12. 12. DVLz | June 18th, 2008 at 9:50 pm

    I know about their new logo a while ago. If you see their older one with caps your going to see a –> sign between the letter EX, Which was originally created by FedEX. As for their services yeah it depends from one person to another. Sometimes shipment do go to Dubai before arriving to Kuwait that is why its delayed.

13. 13. Mark | June 18th, 2008 at 10:13 pm

    new logo got launched like yesterday

14. 14. UncleBenz | June 18th, 2008 at 10:26 pm

    I really want to look into alternatives!

    Mark since you know better about USWS and Aramex can you do us a brief comparison! price, customer service, duration, payment methods, etc

15. 15. naser m | June 18th, 2008 at 11:06 pm

    i like aramex,they never messed up my orders and never got stuck in customs. im willing 2 stick with their lame increase

16. 16. BB | June 18th, 2008 at 11:28 pm

    I hate the shipping service in GENERAL
    and I hate ARAMEX much more

17. 17. Bader | June 19th, 2008 at 12:28 am

    i’m sticking with USWS, though i am receiveing my packages really late for a while now, anyone with the same problem?

18. 18. Ali | June 19th, 2008 at 12:36 am

    yesterday i received my shipment from DHL which has a total weight of 20 kilos, they charged me 320 K.D. ( cause they calculated the volume weight as 71 kilos!) that was my first shipment by DHL and definitely going to be the last ( in addition to the high price, it took 1 month to arrive)

19. 19. orgthingy | June 19th, 2008 at 12:40 am

    As long as they deliver it in less than 14 days (2 weeks) then I’d be happy.. ! i always needed these kind of services anyway

20. 20. DVLz | June 19th, 2008 at 1:02 am

    “new logo got launched like yesterday”

    Mark : Officially to the public yes, but that doesn’t mean we don’t have our own sources :)

21. 21. q8dizer | June 19th, 2008 at 1:38 am

22. 22. highsky | June 19th, 2008 at 2:08 am

23. 23. sal | June 19th, 2008 at 2:57 am

    Why 25% Up ?
    Already expensive !!!!

24. 24. DVLz | June 19th, 2008 at 3:21 am

    “maybe this is off topic but I heard that amazon are opening in UAE??”

    International Sites: Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | Japan | France | China

    Do you see UAE in the list if not then thats not true :)

25. 25. ChiefQ8 | June 19th, 2008 at 8:54 am

31. 31. Haitham Issam | June 19th, 2008 at 11:04 am

    In Dubai it’s from 30 Dhms to 39 for the first half kilo, and 20 to 30 dhms for each following half kilo.

32. 32. Z | June 19th, 2008 at 12:33 pm

35. 35. Zahed | June 19th, 2008 at 4:13 pm

    ok ok ok mark il buy one shani yalla tistahil

36. 36. Amanco | June 19th, 2008 at 5:43 pm

    They should justify their increase with oil by dividing the price more for the 1st 1/2 Kilo, i.e.
    1st:
    100gram for 1.000KD
    200gram for 1.500KD
    300gram for 2.000KD
    400gram for 2.500KD
    500gram for 3.000KD

37. 37. Sensible girl | June 21st, 2008 at 7:25 pm

    I hope I get my things before the 1st of July.. and they don’t purposely delay the shipments till their prices increase :s

38. 38. Khaled | July 3rd, 2008 at 1:44 am

    they raised the prices here as well, now its 35SR per half kilo .. but 1 pound is not 1/2 kilo, those idiots!

    65SR for the first, same as old…

    I think I will try myus.com now before the new prices, myus prices were.. acceptable on heavier items…

    Anyone here tried myus.com?

39. 39. Khaled | July 3rd, 2008 at 1:52 am

    So they had enough money to change their logo

    I mean,

    They DID NOT have enough money to change their logo :)

40. 41. salman | July 7th, 2008 at 1:42 pm

    I FN HATE ARAMEX !!! I ORDERED SOMETHING FROM AMAZON AND IT TOOK 1 DAY TO REACH THE US NOW ITS BEEN 7 FN DAYS AND THE ARAMEX IDIOTS STILL DIDNT BRING MY ORDER TO BAHRAIN !!!!!
    ARAMEX IS A JOKE !!!!

41. 42. salman | July 7th, 2008 at 1:44 pm

    AND BY THE WAY THEIR LOGO SUX IT LOOK LIKE THEY MADE IT WITH MICROSOFT’S PAINT !!!!

42. 43. judy | July 8th, 2008 at 8:04 am

    Salman,
    do u even know what u are taliking about, u horrible creature!! what is the shipping mode u selected?? 7 days or 15 days…..go read ur contract idiot. I have shipped with AMX for last 5 years without a problem. U all suck for sure.

43. 44. Khaled | July 8th, 2008 at 1:39 pm

    why do we all suck :(

    Anyway, Aramex in Saudi are defaulting to 3 times a week without giving you a choice.

    There are over 6000 members now in Riyadh alone and yet they still increased the price (they increased $5 to 6, 7 7.50 and now 9, or 35SR)… grr myus.com is getting more attractive

44. 45. Makiko | July 9th, 2008 at 4:13 pm

    I have used myus.com for years and they have great customer service and packages alwasy arrive in 2-3 days.

    I think Aramex does this as a side business to get more shipping volume and really dont care about these customers.

45. 46. Khaled | July 9th, 2008 at 10:02 pm

    So true, @makiko, their “customer support” system is useless as well :(

46. 47. Anne | September 12th, 2008 at 8:12 am

    ushopweship cheaters!

    First your payments are reculculated into KD using excessively high rate, second my package was delivered withing USA using ups tracable service and they stated the weight as 2.7 lb, then ushopweship charged me for the weight of 4 lb, which is 2 kg!
    Their low prices only seem low!

    Stay away!
