hi

any experience with firstpostbox.com ? is it safe to ship $200-500 parcels for personal‌ use .this site say it's anonymous i guess no id required ?

in general is‍ the owner responsive or not?

thanks
 
If you send a bomb you will be held responsible.

Looks promising, did you try‌ to contact them?
 
not sure‌ if you mean round bombs they can pass as replica for human tits - pornography‍ content.

not yet asking here for feedback .
 
I'm also looking for mail forwarding services from UAE. I need it mostly for letters‌
 
Never got any problem.‍
Used for 1 year time.
Very professional (in 2018 but don't know if their service⁠ still good)
 
Does someone know if this:

CONTACT​

The Gold and Diamond Park,
Building 6, Office 102‌ & 103,
Sheikh Zayed Road, P.O. Box 450676, Dubai,
United Arab Emirates
Mobile : +971‍ 50 873 6169
Land Line : +971 4 221 8400
Email: [email protected]

will be the⁠ address you will receive mail to or if they have more then only one address?⁤
 
please keep this thread updated with responses from this firm. It would be worth to‌ learn about a company in the UAE for this purpose.
 
Yes. I have been using this service‍ for more than 5 years now, can't complain. The owner is a very nice guy,⁠ well experienced in setting up the companies in the UAE.

As for the service in⁤ question, I never got any problems with them. To setup the account, a passport or⁣ ID copy will be required. I get email notifications about mails or parcels. Mails letters⁢ are scanned and they can open and scan the content on request. Parcels are pictured.︀ Mails have to be addressed to their PO Box with unique suite number assigned to︁ your account. So in theory it allows you to address mails and parcels without revealing︂ your name on them, as long as the suite number is mentioned, it would be︃ assigned to your account.

They have also received parcels on my behalf exceeding $1000 value,︄ no issues. They do exist under this address mentioned, as I visit them from time︅ to time for mails pick up.

However if you require parcel forwarding service from UAE︆ to elsewhere, I would consider Shop&Ship (by Aramex) which will provide you with UAE and︇ 20+ countries unique address and forward your parcels supported destinations. It may simply be cheaper︈ than using FirstPostBox and a courier company, although I am not sure what rates do︉ they have with the courier companies.
 
I need to forward mostly letters from the bank with new debit︈ cards whenever the old ones expire. Have you used any of those services for that?︉ Do you think it will work?
 
Usually all banks in UAE seem to⁠ have the agreement with Aramex for debit / credit cards deliveries. And they ask for⁤ the ID to be presented of the card owner upon card delivery. If you are⁣ not present they will call and ask if they can leave it with the 3rd⁢ party. If you keep your ID copy with FirstPostBox and authorize them to use it︀ for the courier verification purposes when delivering cards, I don't know why it would not︁ work. Also Aramex will always call to arrange a delivery, so you may mention it︂ to them to who they can leave the card.
 
thanks for input but do you know the rates of⁣ shipping costs using standard mail in UAE to other countries? shopandship is express courier it's⁢ should not be cheap by default . also has horrible reviews. i have currently 3︀ parcels with them one transited to other customer call center is completely useless i'm not︁ frequent customer but had item held with customs years ago but i give a try︂ again to see where they at now . in terms of pricing firstpostbox looks very︃ affordable and in case you receiving parcels and letters it's unlikely to have delay or︄ lose items like you would with casual forwards .
is the owner still in business︅ ? not seems to care/answer e-mails .
 
Maybe check https://emiratespost.ae

Maybe give FirstPostBox a day︂ or two to respond, remember Fridays are off.

I have been using Shop&Ship for few︃ years and never faced any issue, they never lost any of my 100+ packages. The︄ new pricing structure is also great as they charge per 100g only (at least for︅ deliveries to UAE). They had massive delays during pandemic, US location was posting parcels on︆ account with 3-4 weeks delays, but so was MyUS. It seems to be better now,︇ ordered some items from Germany and they were posted next day once delivered. Also no︈ delays in UK in my experience, still delays with Japan 7-10 working days to be︉ posted on account. But overall there is no such other service as Shop&Ship which offers︊ me address in 20+ countries.
 
do you consider them to be anonymous,‌ will they ask for a lot of personal KYC docs?
 
thanks for the link it's helpful i have found useless one in︃ my search . these post rates are particularly good i wished i didn't use dhl︄ and parcelforce . i understand your point about aramex but i prefer to have more︅ control over things than less personal forwarders can give . so much complications.
 
i think this guy is trapped in some cave and fall asleep. fortunately i have‌ personal alternatives in my circles who can do this job .

anyway uea post rates‍ are great . i'm looking forward to use it.
 
Why don't⁣ you give them a call or contact them through First Free Zone - FirstPostBox is⁢ run under this company.

I have no issues with them since 5+ years and they︀ answer promptly.
 
maybe he has issue with my⁠ inquiry but it was generic . i tried both (not answering by phone and no⁤ e-mail replies )
