Based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, Aramex (which stands for Arab-American Express) is a multinational logistics company and shipment carrier founded in 1982. It is the first Arab-based company to be listed on the NASDAQ stock exchange.
Aramex has grown into a globally known and recognized company and brand that is trusted by millions as their top source for logistics solutions.
Aramex has core values that have helped it grow into the brand it is today. According to the Aramex website, “instead of investing heavily in infrastructure, we acquire or partner with domestic-focused logistics companies that have strong local networks, knowledge and transportation solutions already in place for efficient and effective last-mile delivery.”
Aramex offers shipment guarantees that set it apart from its competitors. It picks up and delivers within the days and times it sets, offering the fastest delivery on the same day or the next day of pickup for its express delivery shipments.
Aramex offers an easy online shipping calculator that will provide you with an estimated cost depending on the shipping location, where the shipment is going, and what you are shipping. You can also choose your shipping option to determine the final price. Aramex offers Express as well as Urgent delivery, which can get a package to its destination same-day door to door if necessary and within the same country.
All Express packages shipped with Aramex come with a tracking number that can be searched using the Aramex website as well as the integrated web APIs.
Because Aramex has over 600 offices across 65 countries, domestic prices depend on your home country. Find out the cost of shipping domestically by filling out the shipment form on your home country’s Aramex website.
Aramex offers Priority Express and Value Express as part of their Export Express shipping options. International parcels shipped via Priority Express receive the fastest delivery of their shipments, yet are more expensive than Value Express, which is a standard shipping service that takes longer to reach its destination. It is still considered a secure option, however, to ship to ensure parcels arrive at their destination in great condition.
An example of costs when shipping with Aramex:
A 4.5 lb/2 kg shipment from the United Arab Emirates to Canada would cost approximately without added fees):
Aramex offers a great tool on their website for finding and filling out the appropriate customs clearance documents for your destination country.
Simply choose the country and find customs rules and links to documents on the right-hand side.
Whether or not Aramex delivers on weekends depends on the country in which the packages are being delivered and whether the courier partners in this country deliver on weekends.
Most Aramex offices, however, do deliver on weekends and pride themselves on the fact that this sets them apart from other courier services that do not offer this option.
Many offices are also open for shipping on weekends too, which means you can ship and deliver a parcel domestically within the same weekend and have it arrive before Monday.
Aramex offers multiple features for eCommerce customers. They provide tracking numbers, online services, as well as Package Collect from any supplier or business. Aramex also offers Cash on Delivery and Return Services for its business customers.
Aramex also has a popular Drop and Ship Solution Service for eCommerce businesses that utilize drop shipping to get their products delivered to customers.
According to Aramex, prices depend on “Rates from Drop and Ship origins (US, Singapore, India, Turkey, UAE, Hong Kong and China) 45 MYR for the first 0.5 kg and 15 MYR for each additional 0.5 kg. Rates from other Drop and Ship origins (Italy, Spain, Germany, France, Canada, UK and South Africa’) 55 MYR for the first U.S kg and 25 MYR for each 0.5 kg.”
What sets Aramex apart from other logistic companies is that they have cultivated their own list of technology partners that have created advanced programs situated with Aramex in their backend.
