Today Ahmad called Sarita in DHL to ask about their @ Home service, and here is the main idea:
They have the same price as Aramex for shipments.
Perfumes & cosmetics are allowed.
They allow shipments over 30KG.
They don’t have a restriction on the value of the shipment (Aramex have a $2500 limit, above that they require export papers).
Their default insurance is $100 unless you request additional insurance (I’m not sure about Aramex on this point).
Your mailbox will be in Illinois.
Here are some more infos I got from their Site:
Its a service for shipments from businesses to U.S. residential locations, including P.O. boxes.
The Standard delivery is within 2 – 4 business days, Deferred delivery within 2 – 7 business days.
Door-to-door visibility and tracking. (I’d appreciate it if I can Really track the package)
Things I still want to know more about are:
1- Do we have more than the cash option to pay for our packages? (online or Knet maybe?)
2- Do They check my mailbox daily or weekly?

My thanks goes to Ahmad.

How someone can signup for a mailbox? Aramex allow you to sign up for a shop&ship automatically from the web but then they would require you to email or fax in some document. but, I went to DHL site and I cannot find such an option!
It is good that Perfumes & cosmetics are allowed I’ve already called Sarita yesterday and she will send their mandoob for opening a mailbox with them. I think I’m gonna say Good Bye to ARAMEX.
Good info thanks!
Anything about the dimensions of the packages allowed?
Aramex allows up to 1 meter long boxes I think
Mo,
call Sarita D’Souza @ DHL Express and ask her to send you their mandob to where ever you want.
