I highly doubt it, If government offices and many places in Kuwait close on Thursday and Friday… UPS does not deliver on Saturday and Sunday. Then they work only three days a week?! I think that page is for the US only.

No I never used ARAMEX cuz read they don’t insure the delivary.
and just checked ushopweship.com… “the amount payable by UShopWEship if an item is lost of
Maximum liability amount payable is U$D 30/-”
So I don’t want to take any chances. :\
How come they don’t deliver on Sundays? UPS said “On Sunday GUARANTEED” heh. It just arrive at KOELN Germany *excited*

hey all, long time reader first time poster…
Mark, you got me into buying macbook too. I ordered mine yesterday morning and it was shipped just before midnight. According to the UPS tracking it should arrive on Sunday ^_^
I have a question regarding the shipping though, when using a US mail address, are you still going to have your package insured during the whole trip to Kuwait? Cuz I think I read somewhere at ARAMEX site they don’t insure.

thanks for the info
i know amazon is cheaper
but how easy is it to remove the original RAM?
from my understanding it is inside the laptop
not accessible from the RAM slot (which is for the empty ram slot)
