In my house, letters to Santa are all ready written and pinned onto the refrigerator with pictures!

Even though Christmas shopping in Dubai can be a much more pleasant experience than pounding the cold, damp and crowded streets of our home countries, on-line shopping is increasingly for a lot of people be a much, much better experience.  Not only is it hassle free but on many website there are  many bargains to be had or  some-times there could be that quaint specialty store in your home country that your would like to buy gifts from. Unfortunately many of these on-line companies will not deliver overseas or their shipping costs are outrageous.

However, Aramex has the answer with their Shop and Ship services.  For a one off membership fee of US$45 you’ll be given personal account numbers, which are ‘physical’ delivery addresses in  US, the UK, China, Turkey, UAE, India, South Africa, Hong Kong, Germany, Italy, Spain, France and Singapore that can be used as delivery addresses.  Aramex then forwards these items to yourself in Dubai at reasonable rates.

The packages need 5-7 business days after arriving in your US and China account and 3-4 days from your UK account to get to you (customs and clearance processes may vary from country to country).

Their online tracking system enables you to monitor your packages every step of the way from the convenience of your office or home; you can find out where your shipment is at; anywhere and any-time!

Browse, shop, click and Santa’s reindeer will be fully loaded up in no-time.
