Dhl and aramex are really expensive.... I sent my aunt a small pkg a couple months ago, like 200-300 grams and it was 250 Dhs... I think once it hits the states it goes through ups so it goes directly to their door. I always send through the post office now, I take it myself and I've never had it not arrive, and totally depends on the weight, I am pretty sure you can check the rate online epg.ae https://www.epg.ae/esvc/services/mailrate/index.xhtml?lang=en <em>edited by Cherpie on 22/09/2014</em>

I used Empost (http://www.empostuae.com/internationalCourier.html) a couple of years ago to ship a package to Europe and had no problem. They are cheaper than fedex/dhl, they collect the package from your place and deliver really fast. I would highly recommend them. PS - Note that I am talking about my experience in 2011/2012. Their service and rate might have changed by now.
