We use DHL, FedEx and USPS for bringing the shipments to Pakistan and hire services of local courier companies to deliver your orders at your doorstep. The local courier companies deliver at your local address in Pakistan within a day as per our agreement with them.
Initially we will pay customs duties on your orders while clearing the shipment at Lahore Airport and we will bill that duty & taxes to you. Our invoice will include the shipments charges as well as the customs duty, if any. The customs duty depends on the price mentioned on the invoice by seller. If we receive your package without an invoice at our warehouse, we will inform you immediately. We may also contact the seller on your behalf and arrange for the invoice.

At present sellers at AliExpress deliver orders free of cost but their delivery
time is 45-60 days. For a fast delivery, the sellers there allow you to choose
DHL & FedEx but the cost is so high that in most cases it exceeds the cost of
item you are planning to buy.
Currently Pakistani eShoppers of AliExpress are facing these problems:
(a) Free shipping takes up to 60 days to reach Pakistan
(b) Free shipping uses Pakistan postal services in Pakistan that normally
holds your orders for one reason or other
(c) eShoppers want to buy many products from AliExpress at one time but it
is hard to find all products with one seller.
(d) If someone buys 15 different products from 15 different sellers then you
will end up with receiving 15 shipments and delivery time of each item will
be different.
(e) The shipping fee charged by the sellers (DHL or FedEx) is very expensive,
in case you need fast delivery. When you add up the shipment charges for
15 shipments separately (for fast delivery) the overall cost of all 15 items
becomes very high.
(f) Many cell phones & electronics items listed on AliExpress are not
available for shipping to Pakistan (even with expensive shipping).
PkShip’s solution:
You can use our China's address while shopping at AliExpress. Notify the
seller that you want the delivery in China. We will receive all your 15
shipments at our China's warehouse. Upon receiving your orders we will
send you picture of your shipments received at our warehouses in China.
We will consolidate all your orders received in 2-3 days and ship these in
one carton box to Pakistan. Based on the price you agree with the seller, we
will pay the customs duty (if any) and deliver the items overnight to your
doorstep.

Because we charge shipping fee proportionately, based on our current shipping formula, it will cost you USD 7 where USD 6 (= 200/500*15) are for shipment charges and USD 1 for shipment handling charges incurred in USA warehouse.
Our minimum shipping fee is USD 4 (including shipment handling charges).
We reproduce that table here:
USA | China | Germany | UK |
---|---|---|---|
0.5KG = 0.6KG | |||
1KG = 1.087KG | 1KG = 1.087KG | 1KG = 1.105KG | 1KG = 1.072KG |
2.8KG = 3.067KG | 2.9KG = 3.053KG | 2.80KG = 3.13KG | 2.88KG = 3.1KG |
4.6KG = 5.084KG | 4.5KG = 5.03KG | 4.5KG = 5.1KG | 4.71KG = 5.1KG |
6.7KG = 7.073KG | 6.7KG = 7.12KG | 6.2KG = 7.2KG | 6.51KG = 7.1 KG |
8.4KG = 10.08KG | 8.2KG = 10.09KG | 8.6KG = 10.17KG | 8.3KG = 10.1KG |
Well, there are two scenarios of this situation:
First: If Amazon combines all three orders and sends in one box as one
shipment then yes, you will pay only USD1 as shipment handling charges.
Second: If Amazon sends three orders in three different boxes then you will
have to apply shipping calculator separately for each shipment.
This is because shipment handling charges apply to each shipment individually.
As a policy we intend to revise our rates on annual basis to combat inflation effect, however if there is any sudden revision in shipping rates globally then we may revise our rates accordingly.
Absolutely! You will pay us what you see on our shipping fee calculator.
There are no hidden charges.
We know that couriers out there charge these over and above the rates
published on their websites. We don’t!
At present our delivery time is 3-8 days (This time starts when we receive your orders at our global warehouses.) However, we are confident to reduce the number of days in very near future.
Absolutely Yes! However, we will charge additional service charges to entertain that request.
Absolutely possible! When you sign up for PkShip, we allow you to enter more than one mail addresses in Pakistan specifying one as your permanent or default address. In case you want the shipment’s delivery at a different address than your permanent or default address then all you need to do it after having received email notification that we have received your shipment at our global warehouse, go online and change the default address in your profile and we will deliver the shipment at your new default address.

We accept following modes of payment:
1. Cash on Delivery
2. Online funds transfer
3. EasyPaisa
4. Cash payment in our office
You can deposit or transfer money to our bank accounts and notify us via dedicated email i.e. [email protected]. We request you to calculate exact shipping fee using our calculator to avoid any misunderstanding. Please make sure that you are using weight of total shipment including the weight of packing material in addition to weight of product itself.
We use USD selling rates published by National Bank of Pakistan. Click here for rates.
For delivery made on December 2, 2015, we will use USD rate of December
1, 2015 (previous day).
Couriers charge use a standard rule to calculate shipping fee i.e. (higher of
the shipment weight or dimensional weight) * Rate/KG.
Dimensional weight can be calculated as follows:
Dimensional Weight (KGs) = (Height x Length x Width in Inches) / 300 or
Dimensional Weight (KGs) = (Height x Length x Width in cm) / 5000
Our shipping calculator calculates the fee based on above rule however for
all shipments from USA we provide 50% additional weight to our members
in case their dimensional weight exceeds the actual weight of shipment.
In other words, we don’t apply standard rule of calculating shipping fee if
dimensional weight is up to 1.5 times of actual shipment weight.
Example: If you buy a guitar from Amazon whose actual weight is 5.1KG and
dimensional weight is 15.8KG (42*18*6.3 inch/300). The calculation will be
as follows:
Dimensional Weight 15.8KG
Extra weight allowed (50% of actual weight) 2.55 KG
Weight to be charges to customer 13.25KG
