Aramex vs FedEx or DHL?

SpikenButchsMom

Recently, I spotted a post about Aramex and thought it was a neat service. My husband, however, was less than impressed, saying we could use Fed Ex or DHL. If you like Aramex, what are the pros over other companies? Also, if anyone's sent/received time sensitive documents through this company, I'd like to know how your experience went.
Thanks!

Writing my experience with all of them,, I found DHL best in sending Time Sensative Documents..!! Moreover, as per my conversation with one of the Managers in DHL (who is also my friend) told me, the pressure is much less due to lack of business in recessions..so, this makes me sure that their service will be better & faster as none of your things would be queued or neglected.

Dears,

It’s a matter of support what these companies are getting in based country; as well as there own resources; however I experienced FedEx excellent in UAE, as well as DHL here in Qatar.

ARAMEX, no idea Sorry….

I have used Aramex and DHL. Aramex delivery time was always longer than they say on their website. DHL on the other hand even comes in early sometimes. DHL is more expensive, but in my opinion, worth it.

me and my wife would use aramex to send documents for our distance educ classes based in australia. we chose aramex over DHL because of the pricing they give. they can deliver it quickly enough, though of course dhl and fedex [or ups] are better at that. but with pricing, i'd say aramex. for documents that is. but with jewelries or gadgets, etc, im not really sure i'd chose aramex to deliver those for me.

Although I have tried Aramex for Auto parts, I still prefer DHL or Fed Ex. They can all deliver door-to-door.

I was not very impressed with Aramex's delivery time.

I've sent n received too many times with all of them.Each time i experienced to send sensetive papers as you meantioned.But what I noticed that DHL is the fastest one incase you have limited time n hurry for something.

And as a personal view I say all are safe enough and well servicing.The worse thing is ;you have to pick up ur stuff from their office after they informed u that you have a shipment.Would be better if they could delivery at the door.

wish you the best.
