Courier Service from Mumbai to Saudi Arabia

Courier Service from Mumbai to Saudi Arabia, Picked Up at Your Door

Saudi Arabia is home to a very large Indian community, and many Mumbai families, workers and businesses ship there. Families send gifts and festival items to relatives in Riyadh and Jeddah, professionals send attested certificates and work documents, and exporters send samples and goods to buyers. Our courier service from Mumbai to Saudi Arabia collects from your address, prepares the export paperwork, and coordinates Saudi customs clearance until the parcel reaches the recipient.

Saudi Arabia restricts items that are common in India, including pork products, alcohol and many medicines, so the contents need to be checked before pickup. We do that before you pay.

Delivery Across Saudi Arabia

We deliver to Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, Khobar, Mecca, Medina and other cities. Shipments arrive through a Saudi gateway and continue with local delivery partners to the door.

Address tip: include the recipient’s Saudi National Address short code if they have one, along with the building number, street, district, city and postal code, plus a mobile number that will be answered. Saudi couriers rely on the National Address and a working phone, so missing details are a common cause of delay.
