this is not an advertisement , this is just a new found , if u look more u can find another .
this website tigerdirect.com ships to Ksa but only thought wire transfer payements ,here's what they said:

"Dear Valued Customer:

Thank you for your email.

Yes, we do ship to Saudi Arabia. Shipping time frames for international orders are 7-10 business days serviced by UPS, provided that there are no Customs or vendors restrictions. "

go and check the prices , build ur computer and compare the difference { include the bank transfer + shipping } , still lot cheaper compared to the local market.

yepsh .. excellent company .. been using this for almost 2 years now.. I used to order all stuff for our company from there, and still have the B2B accounts which offers 10% discount on regular retail price.. let me know if need anything from there ..

Personally i felt there shipping rates are a bit higher, so its a better deal to get one of those global mail box address, from aramex or saudi post, have it delivered locally in the US for free, then from US to KSA. This reduced ti delivery cost by almost 50%

I use Aramex Shop and Ship Service from aramex.com where they create three Accounts in your name in New York, London and Shanghai and request you to order your stuff from anywhere to be shipped to these addresses. Aramex charges SR 100 per 1Kg package for delivery to your address in Saudi Arabia. Most Amazon, WHSmith, Harrods and other stores do FREE delivery in their respective countries and hence you only end up paying around $30 for shipping. Bundling up several items also helps reeduce the shipping cost per item. Works well for me.

MM- Do we need to apply for a new P O Box from Saudi Post or we can use an existing one i.e. office P O Box?
I tried to register online and the quoted fee is 35 USD. Is this an annual charge?

The USD 35 is a one time registration fee only.
you have to give them a location address in KSA where they can deliver your packages, building name, street address, floor, room number etc. excellent service. I already received 7 packages, 5 from USA and 2 from the UK through them within 5 days of my order online.

I ordered TWO Amazon Kindle e-Readers with WiFi @ $114 each plus sales tax $20 = $248 @ 3.854 (rate applied by Visa) = SR 955
plus shipping via Shop and Ship SR 30 = SR 985. Cost of each, approx SR 490

Current market price for Kindle WiFi in KSA = SR 650-700 each
