Aramex Shop & Ship - Get anything from US/UK Toooooo much cheaper than Borderlinx

I also bought a Samsung Galaxy S Captivate i897.
Shipping was Rs.500/- approx. and I was not charged any customs.
Would you mind sharing the cost of your Samsung Galaxy S Captivate i897.
I have ordered one Koss Portapro head phone through aramex. They said they will try to make it free of customs. Just waiting.
I got it for USD 300 approx but mine is just the phone and nothing else. No box, no earphones, no data cable. The seller included just a cheap wall charger and a cheap car charger which I am not going to use with this "expensive" phone.
But I don't mind, it is still a good deal. You can get similar or better deals at ebay.com

This business must still be very small for them, if they are able to answer about individual consignments in this way.
Actually, even my Aramex "box number" tells me that there are only a handful of users in this city.

That's a much bigger number than here in Chennai!
But is it the same number for everyone? Like DEL 99 is for everyone it seems. Can lead to utter confusion when so many Rahul Bhatia's sign up :yahoo:
I mentioned DEL 99 in my examples and I meant 2 digits by '99'.
Everyone has a unique number. After city code (e.g. DEL), there is 2 or 3 digit unique number.

Ahh, as in Delhinn. That's what I thought. And then I wondered. Thanks for clearing that up
Finally got my Koss Portapro headphones delivered via aramex. They arrived at a very good condition. Total delivery charge (including tax etc) was Rs. 507/-. Yes, they could make it free of customs. So, the total cost was about Rs. 1850/- including shipping. Turns out to be quite cheaper compared to buying in India.

My number is less than 25 too
barcode, I can't even add an Indian address to my Paypal account, which was opened back in UK.
Maybe MGDELHI can tell us how to do that

And why do you think MGDELHI can tell you that?
OK, I took the initiative to share whatever little experience I had with Aramex, but for PayPal..... we have more experience members here.

I also couldnt buy on ebay.com for the same reason.
So for I read through this entire thread for the last 30 mins and ended up doing 2 things.
1.) Grabbing the code to register for ARAMEX before it vanished. Now I am charged only 5 USD.
2.) Adding a new US Paypal Address.
Surprisingly, for me it worked. This is what I did
- logged into Paypal
- login denied, forgot password.... lol.... reset password, tried logging in again, login successful.
- in My account --> Profile --> Add or Edit Street Address.
It showed me a list of linked addressed and option to remove them, or add new ones.
I added a new address and it got added successfully.
What problem are you guys facing.
Although, there is still a problem with my Paypal account, but thats not linked to adding a new address.
I moved out of US and didn't use this Paypal account for a while so as a security mechanism, they are still waiting for me to do to the Pending Phone verification.
I need to give them a US Phone number which will be then linked to my Paypal Account and they would send a unique code at that number. Once that's done, I will be good to start using Paypal for shopping from the US.
Thanks MGdelhi for the code
