Amazon Book Orders
By RovingTeacher •
Does anyone know how good a delivery service you get in Qatar with Amazon books? It might sound a strange question, but as an avid reader, I can't do without my books. I have taught in six different countries and in two I received less than a third of my Amazon orders.
can you oder for me anything i will pay for it.from amazon.co.uk.call me on 7328213.
No delivery problems from Amazon.com, just be specific with your address.
Try Iqra Trading Company. They are one of the biggest book importers in the country and supply most of Qatar's schools. As a trading company they are little known to the general public but their prices are good and the service is excellent. Call 451 4092
Amazon.co.uk to a Qatar PO Box works for us.

Oh my, did you see that Amazon book reader thingy, you can download up to 4000 books on it? It looks like a regular schedule book with a touch screen. its about $350 (steep i know) but if you read a lot the e-books are much cheaper in the long run.

I use Aramex a lot, ordering stuff online especially in Amazon both UK and US... I love reading a lot too and I buy in Amazon almost every month.. Aramex is way to go...
Definitely Aramex - am also a big reader and rely heavily on my beloved Amazon...so I order from Amazon.co.uk to my UK aramex address and 3/4 days later it is here in Doha. MUCH quicker than qatari post. Really is the most reliable option. Aramex charge QR39 for first 0.5kg and then QR31 for every 0.5kg after.
arrive no problem i order thru amazon.co.uk
and sometimes despite postage it works out cheaper than here.
use ARAMEX Shop and Ship service when ordering from Amazon. For more information Check out www.aramex.com
Ooh wait, if your family is going to send them on through regular post, it could sometimes take months for your books to get here. My advice is to find a mail forwarding service in the UK. We have one in the US. I order from anywhere, they send the order to my PO BOX in Florida, then the mail forwarding service sends it through DHL and it gets delivered to my husband's office here. It is kind of expensive, but our items get here in 3 to 4 days from leaving Florida.

I figured that delivery to the Gulf would be expensive. It might be a good idea, then, for me to have books delivered to my UK address and have family send them on. Thanks for the info.
I had some stuff delivered by DHL. Well when I say delivered, I mean to their depot where I had to go to get it. Bloody expensive too.
I have ordered books from Amazon.com without any problems and got it delivered to my local P.O. Box address

I think it's better if you post this under "Questions". I heard that Amazon needs a US address for delivery. If you have one then i don't think there's a problem, if not, you can check with Aramex. Maybe the delivery will take longer than expected.
