I'm always a little wary about online shopping and wonder how others can purchase clothing and shoes online without trying them on first.  Am I the only one who never knows their exact size and needs to try on at least 2 or 3 different sizes?  And of course, a dress may look absolutely fabulous on the model, but not necessarily always on me.  Ha!  

Aside from fit, there's the worry about parcels going missing.  I've had a few disappear and have no idea where to even begin looking, our postal service in Kuwait is the pits!  I've also had a box opened, an item removed (stolen!) and then been handed a re-sealed box.  Luckily the website I ordered from refunded the cost of the missing item (bless 'em).  And then there's the uncertainty of exactly how much I'll have to cough up over shipping and customs charges once the parcels eventually arrive in Kuwait.  

So when 248am.com wrote about Edfa3ly, I immediately went over to the website to check them out.  I know there are quite a few forwarding services like Posta Plus, Shop & Ship, etc, but I've only used mrbabu.com whenever I've needed something that either isn't available here in Kuwait or is ridiculously priced.  Mainly because there's no sign up fee and I know what the total price will be whilst browsing.  

I'm going to be honest here and state that I don't like the name Edfa3ly.  I have no idea how to pronounce it and the 3 just throws me off.  I guess the word has an Arabic meaning to it, but still.  

To compare between Mr. Babu and Edfa3ly, I tried entering in the same items into both sites and found Edfa3ly to be at least 50% cheaper each time, and that's even after calculating and adding on the shipping charge, which is just $1.33/100g!

Once your order arrives in Kuwait, you can have it either delivered to your home (for a 2kd runner fee), or you can pick it up from their office in Shuwaikh.


There are a few items that you can't purchase due to their company policy and orders containing those items will be cancelled and the amount either refunded or used later as store credit.  I do find the website a little confusing at times, or is that just me?  But apart from that, no complaints.  Their customer service is amazing and a staff called Nada spent a good part of an hour with me answering questions and helping me with my order.  

Edfa3ly at the moment only ships from online stores in the US and UK and they deliver to Kuwait and Egypt.  I learned from them that they will be starting shipments to Qatar and Saudi Arabia in the near future.

I placed my order on the 22nd of August and got a call on the 15th of September saying that my order had arrived in Kuwait.  Though that's a lot later than I had expected, I guess the Eid holidays may have slowed things down a bit. I was a little worried as my order contained a fragile item, but it had been repackaged with plenty of packing peanuts and the parcel was handed to me in perfect condition.  Their office is a bit of a mess (if I'm being completely honest) with parcels all over the place, but the staff were extremely friendly and I couldn't have been happier.  They have various discount codes up on their website from time to time so check out Edfa3ly here.
