If not Aramex then what?
Tivo Guy asked if there was another service other then Aramex’s Shop & Ship. The answer is yes, there is, MyUS.com. I haven’t personally used it but my old boss did. The prices are more expensive then Aramex but the packages are delivered by DHL, and you have more control over your mailbox. For example, you can tell them to ship your magazines once a month but packages as they come. You can also for example ship the packages on your command. That means you can fill up your box and when you think you have all your stuff you give the order to ship. You also have the option to insure your packages, a good option when ordering items like laptops and expensive gear. Again, this all comes at a price.
4lb’s of weight with Aramex would cost you KD7, while with MyUS would cost you KD12. Aramex also has a one time setup fee of KD10, and then its free annually. MyUS has a setup fee of KD10 but it has an annual fee of KD40 for 12 months, or KD5 monthly.
If you are totally fed up with Aramex, there is another option, but are you willing to pay the price?

I’m not willing to pay the price and I think I’ll give Aramex some time to adjust to the overload. I ordered stuff through Amazon and got two of the packages fairly quickly. The third one (the one I really want, of course..) is taking time. I like the fact that through Aramex, you get two P.O. boxes: one in the U.S. and the other in the UK. Amazon UK has some stuff that isn’t available on the American site.
Just my 2cents (fils) worth..
