Thread: Shipping a razor to Saudi Arabia...

Has anyone in this group experienced a problem shipping a razor to Saudi Arabia?

I am still waiting for the razor I bought from eBay.

First thing to do is check with the seller. If they say it has been shipped then get a reference number and check with the shipping company. Then after that check with customs and import to see if its being held pending any charges.

When did you order them? Do understand that international shipping might take weeks rather than days depending on the method. Customs is another hurdle it might snag into.
Give it a few weeks.

I ordered a vintage Henckel 50 from eBay last January 5. What really worries me is custom. They might look at a a razor as a deadly weapon rather than a tool.

They do openly sell Pakistani/Indian razors in the local market.

When you say last january 5th do you mean 8 days ago, or a year ago?

It shouldn't take a year obviously.... But the above advice would be the best idea, contact seller, then shipping Co. then customs.

I just received my Henckel 50 in the office this afternoon!!! It required a little cleaning and it is sharp enough to shave the hair on my air, but I doubt if it is ready to shave my tough beard.

The Norton 4000/8000 would be my next order. But I will check first in the local hardware if it is available here.

It took exactly 8 days from order to delivery. Not bad, I guess.

Thats a pretty good shipping time.

Just for future reference, international shipping can take up to two weeks, sometimes even longer if there are public holidays in the way...!
