I have a book arrived from Amazon, thru my Aramex account, but it is held up in customs. Any idea how long it takes...any similar experiences? Am desperate to get book as quickly as possible:(

I waited 2 months for a book to get through customs. Maybe one of them was reading it :)

Usually only takes 1-2 days.

I've had them hold books up because of cover artwork on a book jacket (there was a Star of David on the cover of one mystery/murder novel as the plot involved a Mossad secret agent) as well as because of the title of another book (Why I am not a Muslim). They refused to release that book and I had to send it back ouside of Qatar at my own expense (silly, really, because I just brought it back in my luggage on my next trip).

So be patient...it's more a hassle than anything else.
