If you want to buy an item from Amazon/Ebay and want it delivered by aramex, you need to open an account with aramex costing $35 for opening a mailbox address in US/UK.

I have ordered Canon 50D bundled with 18-200mm VR with ebay and paid a NY tax (8.375%), this DSLR cost in carrefour for QR8145. I spend QR7000 including courier charges. It took around 11 days to arrvie here in Doha.

This camera + lens is awesome.
