How to Shop on Amazon.com from Dubai
Everyone living in Dubai, the UAE and the Middle East have probably wished they could get their hands on great products from the US – be it books, music, movies, games or electronics. But very few people shop online with Amazon.com
A great solution to this dilemma is to find the right payment and shipping options suitable for you. Here are some recommendations:
Online Payments – Shop Safe!
While traditional credit cards will do the trick, for greater safety and peace of mind, we recommend using virtual – internet-only credit cards. Emirates NBD in UAE has a great option – just pay an initial card fee AED 50 and you get a virtual Credit Card (Mastercard or Visa) issued to you with the number, expiry date and verification code. The added advantage is that this is a pre-paid card and you can manage the transfers into the card account using online banking. Another tip – never never use your ATM or debit cards to make purchase online and never share your credit card details over unsecure pages or by email!
Shipping Save!: In online orders from Dubai, the UAE or most countries here in the Middle East shipping can really add up to the price. A great solution here is the Aramex Shop N Shop service. As the site aptly describes the service: The Aramex Shop&Ship mailbox service allows you to enjoy all the benefits of shopping online International websites as if you are actually living there. This service offers you a personal mailing address in the US and the UK where you can receive your correspondence as well as personal and business packages such as Internet orders, gifts, magazine subscriptions, bank statements and more. Aramex then forwards the mailbox contents to your doorstep back home at very competitive rates, saving you time, effort and money. The great thing about this service is that you can get multiple items delivered to your mailbox and have them shipped together depending on frequency, hence saving you individual item shipping charges. The good news is that usually when ordering from companies like Amazon.com
