If you’re planning to order a Nintendo Switch online and ship it to Kuwait using a forwarding mailbox the, most cost effective way is to use PostaPlus or Aramex Shop&Ship. Below is a cost comparison between different services including customs. Help me fill up the unknowns.
Nintendo Switch (no games)
Aramex: KD17

JadoPado will ship it to Kuwait from the UAE. It currently on costs 145kd plus 15kd shipping. Worth looking into.
Thats not the point of this post. My Switch from the states cost me KD109 including shipping to Kuwait and customs fee. I also got a Switch from Geekay in UAE and shipping to Kuwait was KD8. This post is for people ordering Switches from the US and UK.
Which courier service does Geekay use to ship to Kuwait? And how much did you have to pay for customs? Thanks.
DHL and no customs
Seems like 150-200 KWD will be the normal price here for a while. I got mine for 120 KWD (with shipping) from Amazon UK using Shop&Ship.
Can you tell me if Aramex gives you an airway bill for your shipment? I’m talking about a proper airway bill sheet and not those labels on the box. Thanks.
You can request an airway bill from their website. They just need the shipment number and they’ll send a PDF to your email.
MyUS took about $90 to ship to me through DHL (with two games)..but that’s ok
Thanks just added it
So what is the cheapest way to get a switch. UAE, Amazon US or UK. Or local. Or should I wait for later.
Buy from the US and ship with PostaPlus
Cool, will see, my bro want one. And Zelda looks so good.
How long does it take for Aramex to ship it to Kuwait?
For me i would prefer Fedex. good service worldwide but not sure how the local do act towards customer service.
Dears, here is a break down for Posta Plus shipping charges
item’s weight is around 2 kg so
it will cost 8.5 KD
+ 1 KD clearance charge
+ customs duties 5% of shipping charges and item’s price.
so whats the total?
9.5 KD is the accurate shipping charge,however the customs duty has to be calculated by customs’ officers.
the approximate amount is 5 KD
Shipped the switch via postaplus from Amazon U.K.
Total charge: KD 10.250 😊. Yay!
