Frequently Asked Questions 
What is Shield Service?
Shield Service is a value-added service in which Aramex's liability for any loss or damage is enhanced up to USD 10,000 for non-document goods, and USD 300 for document shipments. Additional information can be found in the Shield T&C.

When your package arrives, we place it in a secure locker at your selected location that can only be accessed by using a pin code we send you in a text message or by a QR code we send you via email.   

Just enter your phone number and pin code or scan the QR code. If you haven’t paid yet, you can settle the due charges on the spot, after which the locker door opens automatically. 

If your item to be shipped is not a prohibited or restricted item under the Shield Service, then the Shield Service is available. Please refer to shield exceptions to confirm whether your item qualifies for the Shield Service.

You can find the list of locations on the Lockers page.

You can find the sizes and dimensions of the lockers on the page.

Please refer to the Shield excluded countries to confirm whether the Shield Service is applicable in the origin and destination countries.

Within 30 business days of receiving the Shield protected claim, and receipt of supporting documentation identified under test  below, Aramex will, for a straight-forward claim, confirm whether the claim is admissible, and the following information:

  1. If the claim is admissible, the compensation amount will be determined; or
  2. If the claim is not admissible, a reason for rejection of claim will be provided.

You need to provide the following documentation:

  • Waybill of shipment which was lost or damaged;
  • Photographs of damaged shipment, if available;
  • Commercial invoice of items in the lost or damaged shipment. If a proforma invoice is provided instead of a commercial invoice, then the item will be deemed to be a used secondhand item; and
  • Packing list, if available.

Shipments with declared value of up to USD 10,000 may be covered under the Shield Service.

The fee for the Shield Service is calculated based on a percentage of the shipment’s declared value.
