I'm sorry, I have trouble understanding your question but if you mean how we ship from Amazon to Pakistan, and how we got people to use our service: we worked out a pipeline to get products from the US to Amazon, and advertising + word-of-mouth. Also:

+ There's no direct way to buy 90% of products from Amazon since they don't ship to Pakistan

+ Our service is the only in the country that gives a fixed price at checkout in PKR

+ Our customer service is excellent

+ We're one of the cheapest options available, as long as the competition imports products legally.




I disagree with the last point. Services like MyUS, Viabox etc. are cheaper than Nazdeeq in many cases.


I do not know Nazdeeq but parent claims they deal with importing and last I checked neither MyUS nor any other random package forwarder deal with customs which can be a real PITA. (I have some experience with importing things into ... legally interesting ... countries, from 1990 till I left in 2006 I, as an individual have imported a lot of computers and parts into Hungary. It was ... fun.)


You covered it perfectly! :)


Hey Irfan! I'm sorry you feel that way, but as someone else here pointed out, we handle everything from clearing customs to last-mile delivery (to your doorstep), which is why our pricing may seem expensive because we declare all costs upfront.

A lot of our customers have similar horror stories where their goods get stuck in customs because they didn't realize clearing is a thing.


Ok I had my first horror story with custom clearance today. Going to give nazdeeq.com a try next time :-)


Haha, we'd love to have you! Throw my name at the support channel, and I should appear to help you out if you have any trouble :)
