Aramex is much better and faster than the other services and it is really good. All you have to do is nothing but to go to Aramex Office [Located on Salwa Road, on the opposite side to the Mitsubishi Agency].
Ask them that you want a Ship and Shop account, they will give you a form to fill it up. They will ask you if you want the account or also their credit card[Web Surfer]?
If you want only the account it would cost you 128 Q.R, you pay it once and never pay it again. If you want the credit card also [if you don't have a master card or visa or for different issues I will talk about it later] they will ask for more 70 Q.R for the card. You can fill the card at any time with any amount of money. Just go to the office and ask them that you want to put some credit in your card and give them the amount and they will calculate it and charge you in riyals. After 2 days you will find the credit their in your account. You have to renew your card every year by paying 70 Q.R again.
After you complete the registration the following would happen:
after one or two days they will e-mail you with your addresses in the USA and UK. The idea is when you purchase something you would specify those addresses as your current address [which is in fact an Aramex office there that got all of these boxes]. After they got the package there they would forward it to J.F.K airport. From there they would forward it to Dubai and after that to Doha.
The first one 'www.aramex.com' can be used to track your shipment, where is it now? what is in your box? what was shipped and what was not? and a lot more. You can also calculate how much would the package shipment fees would be.
The second one 'www.issuers.com' can be used to check your balance and see what is your current balance? Where did you spent you money and so on.
The benefit of having Aramex Card:
1- You don't get your visa or master involved.
2- There is a limited amount that you put in there, so there is a limit because sometimes we can't control it and keep on buying small stuff until we got very big bills.
3- Billing address is the same as you address, means that you would avoid the problems that some websites would give you because there is no shipment to Qatar. The information on your visa or master card [not Aramex] would show Qatar in the details and you order would be canceled.
4- You don't need to meet some requirements [requested by banks to get Visa according to your salary].
When you receive your package, Aramex would send you a message on your mobile asking you to come and collect your package. The rates go like this:
1- 8 US$ for the first half kilo
2- 5.5 US$ for + half kilo
Don't forget to provide your account number when you decide to put some credit in your credit card and provide them with your box number when you got the package.
