Anybody got a fastest delivery time to Saudi and a slowest?
I've posted a book from the UK and am wondering how long it is likely to take. The authorities are sure to have a look at the package too, I guess. |

| Friend of mine in Qassim has never received about half of his packages over the years. I received mine from the States in very reasonable time, about 10-12 days. |

UK to Dhahran 10-14 days. Germany-Dhahran 5 days
Go figure.
Lots of books, DVD's and CD's. Nothing lost yet.

| I have also found Saudi post to be (surprisingly) reliable. Whenever I've ordered from Amazon (UK) the package has always arrived intact within 2 weeks from the day of placing my order. On one or two occasions I have had something go astray, but that has been very much the exception over the years. |

My worst experiences was a full month from the arrival stamp Dhahran to delivery date in Riyadh for a letter (it WAS Ramadan, tho...) and catching the slob at the post office in the DQ slip my letter into the circular file when I had the audacity to ask for my change from a SR10 bill for a SR3 charge for postage.

Figure what? You should travel to Germany to post something?
Thanks for those replies. |

| If ordering from Amazon, you will find amazon.de cheaper AND faster than amazon.co.uk or amazon.com !!! |

| I can't imagine any European prices cheaper than US prices, not for most items. Unless you save a bundle on shipping. |

| Books are cheaper. Shipping costs from our German cousins are also much more reasonable. They have a charge for the order - regardless of how many books. |
