@ravenous24 (y) Although, having used both ShopNShip and BuyAndShip, I'd choose BuyAndShip any day for the simplicity of use. The price being cheaper is a bonus.

2 lb package with SnS would cost 18 USD + GST ie 21.2 USD
2 lb package with BuyAndShip would cost 17 USD

(Yes you might end up paying for an lb more in BuyAndShip cause Aramex uses 0.5 kg multiples instead of lb)

Another advantage with BuyAndShip is that the price declaration, shipment declaration, consolidation (something SnS doesn't offer) is straight forward and entirely done over their website. With SnS I have to send an invoice in their format over email and then keep following up if the package doesn't get updated in the system automatically.

@varkey They replied with the following when I said I don't have GST Registration :
"Dear Customer,

He is banned now. Find him on another forum or social platform. Maybe an existing member has his ID on messengers and they can send it to you by pm.
