Buying Laptop Battery Online

Hi,

 

Am planning to get a battery for my Laptop through amazon.com. Since the battery is not available anywhere in Qatar, there is no other option than importing it.

 

Is it permissible to get laptop battery pack through aramex/dhl?

 

Laptop: Gateway FX

 

Thnx,

First, try with Amazon. They just may have a way of having the battery delivered here. Second, try with DHL. They may get it through their service but I am sure it will cost you. Third, try with some laptop dealers who import laptops and accessories from the US. They may get it in along with their incoming shipments.

By the way, several years back, I did import some batteries from Japan for an instrument being used at the plant. It was shipped through DHL and yes, the cost of shipment was exorbitant.

You may find it somewhat costly to do so. Even if any courier is ready to transport it to Qatar, they will charge you heavily. This is because batteries are classified as "dangerous goods" in shipment. Hence the high cost. Check with any courier to find out more.
