For those of you who aren’t aware, you can order the new iPhone 4S from the UK Apple Store online. I didn’t post about this earlier since I wanted to make sure it would actually work but I just checked the status of my order and it’s getting ready to ship so it’s working. That’s how I ordered my iPhone last year as well, the cost is decent around KD227 for the 16GB and you just have it ship to your Aramex Shop and Ship UK address. The phone is also factory unlocked so you can use it as soon as it gets here. [UK Apple Store]
Note: If you want a UK forwarding mailbox you can get one by signing up with Aramex [Here]

USA site is cheaper 649$ and will be factory unlocked by November (175kd )
For those who r in rush… U can use Canada site (which is cheaper) 173 kd
US site is cheaper but like u said it starts shipping in November and if you order it now it will ship end of November meaning you get it in December. My solution is for people who want it like right now.
Canada is cheaper but if you mail it to your US Aramex account you will have problems since there might be customs fees and from what i know Aramex won’t accept the charges and the phone would get shipped back.
actually i’m not sure u can even order the iphone from now in the US?
it is not possible to order the unlock since it will be available in november.
Congrats on the phone and i will be expecting mine around next week or so
there is no customs fees in the US, unless you are a business but individuals do not pay any fees on imported items
Apple Will NOT ship to Aramex !!
Apple U.S
Apple US shipped my Ipad 2 to Aramex.
Apple US Refused to ship my iPad 2 to aramex. they only sent the accessories. I got it later from an Amazon.com reseller.
And the customs will charge at their own will, so this may end up costing you something around 250kd.
I don’t think shipping and customs will amount to KD25 probably less
Thanks
What card did you use to pay for it? Coz I heard we can’t use our Kuwaiti cards :s
I used my American Express from Kuwait. Last year used my Visa.
Hey mark the uk shipment when is the arrival date?
I think I would have it probably in 10 days time or maybe less. Maybe if I’m lucky by thursday?
Thanks for the info Mark.
Have you tried to order somthing from Apple online store in UAE ? https://store.apple.com/ae
nope i havent
Mark, did you have that 1-2 weeks delay at first? i ordered mine on the 7th of Oct but mine is being pushed back to 21st of Oct
Nope, I ordered on the 7th noon time
Hi,
What should I enter in the billing address? Kuwait isn’t an option and I intend to use VISA from Kuwait. Also, they mentioned delivery between Oct 21 – Oct 28, so how long does it take to deliver to Aramex Kuwait.
Thanks.
I used my Aramex shopping address, I’ll tell u if I end up successful…so far waiting for Apple to process my order
Thanks a ton Mon. Do let me know if it works out for u. Thanks again
Yes Sabre, it works!!
I literally added my Aramex address. I just got a confirmation email a few hours ago. Took them around 22 hours to send my confirmation email…even though they charged my credit card right away.
Hopefully shipping wont take too long 😀 delivery estimate was between 1-2 weeks 🙁
Thanks a lot Mon!
Mine just shipped! 😀 Arrival date tomorrow!
yey so did mine, can’t wait.
Likewise just hope we don’t get to deal with stupid customs! I guess our tweets to Aramex and ShopandShip will start flooding them tomorrow hehehe!
I am really really hoping that I get mine this Thursday or earlier if possible!
Well… I am told (unconfirmed) from sources in one Mobile operator that iPhone 4S will be available in early December with both VIVA and Zain. The phone will be KD 165 or around it and it will be free with the existing 30KD package.
BTW, the price of iPhone4 has just been reduced to 87KD by VIVA from KD159.
Did you have to provide some documents after the payment like passport copy and a bank statement? They told me they will process the order as long as I provide them with that info?
Nope they didn’t ask for anything
That’s weird! here is the email, what do you think:
We perform security checks on our customers orders due to the nature of
our business, as the cardholder is not present to sign for such
transactions. Such checks are done to protect your security.
Apple Online Stores Terms and Conditions state that Apple reserves the
right to verify the identity of the genuine credit card holder by
requesting appropriate documentation.
Please scan a copy of the following documentation to us in jpeg format
and email to [email protected] as soon as possible (Please
quote your Web Order Reference number when sending):
A copy of
1) Card holders Drivers license or National Identity Card or Passport
and
2) Recent Credit Card / Bank Statement showing card holder name, address
and card number. Please feel free to black-out any other
non-relevant information.
might be just a random check, send them your stuff.
Just wanted to double check with you since you already ordered from the same store.
Anyway thanks bro.
Hi Mark,
It’s little irrelevant here, but I think you might be the person to give the info. I would like to know it takes how many days to deliver a shipment from us through USPS first class mail.
Do they deliver to physical address or PO Box.
Please if you can
Thnx in advance.
It takes 1 to 2 weeks usually and they deliver to PO box. I personally felt way better when I used shop and ship service through Aramex.
Hope that helps as this was my personal experience anyway
via USPS it could take months… and even then might not get here
hello,
is it better to ship the iphone from canada or uk? which is more reliable and this is the 1st time im doin this.
so i give the address of aramex uk to apple and then the address of aramex uk to aramex kuwait?
i can do this all online or i hav to visit their office? they will help me out?
4s is a rip off in kuwait
16gb= 350kd
32gb=390kd
64gb=415kd
Those considering the purchase from Canada don’t forget TAXs when calculating price.
