Aliexpress Direct Shipping Service for Saudi Arabia (KSA) and UAE personal experience, guide line and buying guide

What Aliexpress Direct shipping is really?

In this Blog I will tell you friends:

• What is Aliexpress direct shipping?
• How much this will cost you at the end?
• Is this 100% true door to door shipping including VAT?
• How many days it's actually take from the day you create order and pay for it?
• Who will come to your place with your stuff is that Aliexpress own courier service?

And many more questions are rising in your minds so guys lets look at the first what is really  Aliexpress advertise in shipping selection.

    

So, as you can see in the picture above they said,

• Tracking available.
• Door to door delivery.
• VAT included.

And after their is one note say "Free express shipping to Saudi Arabia in 10-20 days on order over US $90.00" 

So, If you are inside the U.A.E you may see the same line with 60 US Dollar min limit to get the free shipping from the Aliexpress suite.

Here in picture below you can see the tracking information about the stuff I ordered from and it was success full deliver to me.

As you can see from the day of  "Accepted by carrier" to till the date of delivery it is not 15-20 days actually here 21 days only after the seller ship your goods. Possibly few days more or less it took when I or you guys order next time.

And here guys one more proof that it is not 100% free door to door service.

In this picture above you can see that for a 0.26 kg parcel they charged me 10 SAR  Handling service fee which is not the custom fee and upon that fee their is 50 halala they charge as VAT @ 50%  and that you guys know any service you get or you buy any stuff from the market locally in KSA they will charge you at rate of 5%. 

And the  third fee 9.560 SAR they charge as Import VAT yes any thing less then 100 USD you import to KSA you have to pay tax at the rate of 5% on it but if your item is more than 100 USD according to Saudi custom laws you will be charge separately.

At this point I want to say you guys if you are using the Aliexpress direct service at least you will receive your order, In first step you need to select the items that you want to buy and until you cart have 90 USD value or a little above. You need to select all items carefully all items should include Aliexpress direct shipping. If your order is lower than 90 USD aliexpress will charge you 8 USD per item as delivery charges separately. When you have enough stuff to order select those items from your cart and check for the total and details carefully some times Aliexpress app add exptra shipping charges even your order above 90USD so be careful. after payment start to push every seller to ship your item believe me some sellers are much lazy and thy take 12 to 15 days to ship your order or even completely sleeping. Because of all your orders will go to Aliexpress warehouse where they will pack all the stuff into one pack and ship it for your county so if one seller is delay more your all goods have to wait for that item but if seller failed to ship your item then the order will be close and aliexpress will return back your money for that item without opening a dispute. And for the rest of the items will be sent to you without extra charges.

here is a tip: If you want aliexpress write on your description name of the item you want to be add that item first to your car while placing the order. because in my first order via aliexpress direct the first item was pressure monitor even the seller ship the wrong item to me and Aliexpress help me in refund without sent back the item.

keep wait until you receive the text message from Aramex in Arabic language first time without the Currier guy number and 2nd time with his number and call him and set you delivery time with him. Because if you do not call him they are lazy and in my case in first they make delivery failed even they did not contact with me.

Here is the proof below.

The final conclusion is:

• It is door to door service but you may need to call carrier person.
• Fee shipping from Aliexpress side on order over 90USD but you need to pay 10.50SAR to aramex in cash.
• You can track your order invidiously by tracking number provided by aliexpress suite stat with LP.
• After Aliexpress handover your parcel to Aramex you can use Aramex app for tracking.
• You need to Pay VAT @5 rate to Aramex, Aliexpress advertising falls.
• You need to order all items in once to get this service.
• Do not afraid from Saudi Post show in tracking info actually Aramex will deliver to your door steps.
