Send Package to Jordan

[Shar2013 0]

Hello Everyone,

I'm new here. I would like some suggestions on what is the cheapest and/or best way to ship a package to my husband in Jordan. He lives in Irbid. Any experience with sending a package would be much appreciated. TIA.

A friend of mine does a lot of international shipping and tells me that for someone who doesn't have a corporate account, the cheapest way to go is USPS.

And if you want the package to actually arrive to your husband in Jordan I would choose a private carrier that has offices in Jordan. I have used DHL and Fed Ex to send and receive things from Yemen and both worked out well.

When I mail packages to Jordan I send to Amman and Irbid via USPS Express Mail. They are the least expensive for packages, and the fastest by far. Once the package leaves the US it is shipped DHL, you can see it on the tracking page, USPS must have some sort of arrangement with DHL. When you go to the post office just tell them you want to ship Express Mail and you won't have any problems. I mail packages to Jordan via Express mail at least once a month, I have been for 2 years and have never had a problem. Good luck!!

Are you mailing to the West Bank or Gaza ? USPS is not always reliable for Palestine; even Express Mail can take months - your package will arrive in Israel very quickly, and then it might show up at its actual destination weeks or months later, after you'd given up all home of it ever arriving. For Palestine, I would use a private shipping company such as Aramex instead - it can take a week to 10 days to deliver from the US to the West Bank, but it's more reliable than USPS. Also, delivery to a major city such as Ramallah will be faster than to a small town out in the boonies...

oh very good to know! I did wonder if it was because it was going to a small town...he is in the West Bank. the other thing I'm concered with is since people don't usually get mail we didn't know how to address the letter.

eventually I put: Dura, Hebron, West Bank, Israel

I had to put israel because USPS didn't have the option for Palestine...

All mail to occupied Palestine is coordinated through Israeli occupation officials. You can address mail or packages with "c/o Palestinian Authority, c/o Israel."
