Buyers throughout the Middle East will have access to discounts and sales on US websites this Friday and next Monday, thanks to a new deal with PayPal and Aramex.

“Black Friday” typically marks the first day of Christmas shopping in the US, while “Cyber Monday” is now a global phenomenon, known as a day of discounts at online retailers. This year, PayPal and Aramex Shop and Ship are making it even easier for customers to take advantage of online sales, by offering their own discounts.

Aramex is offering a 50% discount on a lifetime membership at Shop and Ship, and a 10% discount on all shipping costs on the two days. To secure the discount, interested buyers can register on shopandship.com, select “I want to join,” and enter promo code SNSPP50, using PayPal to complete their transaction.

When shipping, buyers can use the code SNSPP10 and check out using PayPal to add the 10% discount.

The combination of services is designed not only to provide online shoppers with PayPal's security and protection, including its Buyer Protection services, but also to guarantee that customers will receive packages within the Middle East and North Africa, regardless of the challenges that local addressing poses to global retailers.

“Black Friday and Cyber Monday are landmark shopping events and we’re delighted to have partnered with PayPal to bring shoppers in the region and bargain hunters the best possible deals and promotions outside the region. Our goal is to always create the best possible shopping and shipping experience for consumers in the region," Hassan Mikail, Global Ecommerce Director at Aramex, said in a statement.

The promotion is valid for PayPal and Shop and Ship users in Jordan, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, UAE, and Oman, from November 29^th to December 2^nd.
