Buying from amazon possible in Pakistan?

[bym007]

How is this possible to have virtual address world over and then finally get the product at your door steps, can I do this by staying in Pakistan.

We discussed these options in the last few posts. Head over to the following competitors to get an idea, of how:

www.shopandship.com
www.stackry.com

There are many more, but you can start from here.
Oh, and if you decide to sign up for Stackry using above code, you (and me) will both get a $10 gift for referral.

No Idea about Pakistan. Check with DHL or UPS. Here its a subsidiary service of Aramex, a courier company. Since they have their offices in all these countries, item actually goes to their office with one PO BOX type designated code for me. So they receive it on my behalf from Amazon or whatever service and immediately without any call or email, they dispatch it to my home address in Dubai. Standard charges apply 12$ upto 1/2 kg parcel and for every subsequent 1/2 KG, they charge 7,8$. Hope this serves the purpose.

Aramex is a great service for middle east , especially Saudi Arabia and UAE. the problem in pakistan is taxes + customs. they are so unpredictable and may lead to an obnoxious experience when buying stuff.
HAS anyone used Stackry in Pakistan? i want to here an experience by someone living in Pakistan!!

You will probably be the first to try stackry on Pakwheels. The customs will be standard, if you choose FedEx, DHL or Aramex ShopnShip, as its from the s4!t govt. [emoji35] [emoji35]

My experience on stackry was better than viabox, and I have used viabox like 9-10 times or so...

It works for Pak as well, as it is a global service. Just no one tried it in Pakistan, or people keep asking questions, and stay at questioing stage forever.

Check their websites for rates.

They gave you a personal address. Go ahead and do your shopping from US websites. In your delivery address, put this address.

Your items will be delivered to their location in the US. They will notify you of this by email. Now you can reship them to your addresss in Pak (or anywhere worldwide) using Fedex, Dhl, Ups, depending on the available choices. They will show you their shipping charges, just pay it and have it shipped to you.

You can combine shipments too when shipping them to you in Pak, to save some money.

Hi everyone!
I am also looking for a cheap and reliable solution of shipping products from amazon. So far from the post I have been able to see following possibilities,
1) Companies like stackry.com, shopandship.com, shipito.com
They all seem very good, I have spoken to their online chat rep. in order to get an in-depth knowledge about the functionality and reliability and came to the conclusion that these companies are pretty much reliable at their end, but the problem is Pakistani Customs. This is where they are also helpless and cannot provide any assistance/support/information. All they could tell me was, duty will be informed once the parcel is received at customs.
2) My Importers on FB and Some guy named Adnan, with phone number mentioned in above posts:
Do not know how he works, but I assume he will be working on advance payments. Same is the case with importerz, they also require 100% advance payment and they ask for approx. 15-18% the invoice amount as the shipping charges. Again reliability is under question mark.
3) shopmass.com/HSN/shophive.com:
I have checked with HSN, their charges for a dslr costing approx. 60K was 50K, and there is no way anyone should pay 110K for a camera that costs 70-75K even on their own website lol. Same payment mode, they also ask for advance payments. Visited shopmass.com, they have very limited products on their website but did not inquire about shipping from amazon.
......
Now, what is the option for a layman to go for? I am still confused on which source is reliable and the cheapest?
Please help.
Regards,
Junaid

Try all of the options by experimenting/buy an inexpensive item. so that less money is involved. and see which option suits you the best.
Good Luck

The shipping is expensive, whichever way one chooses. So it has to be worthwhile for the item to be shipped.

yeah also its better not to deal with customs directly.

[junaidkhan29]

So which option to go for? I think in each option, customs will be involved except the fact that we pay a lot to Mr. Adnan or the local websites like importerz or HSN etc.? Any jugaad in customs? any leads or links?

No solution for dealing with customs, except if you bring it by hand.
I guess the only way forward is chip up and take it like a true soldier.

3 weeks ago. I tried my importz the rates are cheaper . Paid them instantly..But they didnt place the order even aftrr a week , i have reqested a refund! i also forgot to read the reviews . Apparently people have not gotten their items even after a few months. Even though they claim 30-40 days. so it really depends. On ur preference. Would you like your item after a few months or rather pay more and get it within 15-25 days

If I have to wait for 3-4 months, I may as well order it custom made for me in China... lol
