Collection & delivery

Courier collection

If you have an urgent delivery then book early and we can collect same-day collection throughout the UK and Saudi Arabia.

Prior to collection, make sure you print your shipping labels, and affix them to the parcel, don’t wait until our driver is knocking on your door, or we might not be able to wait to collect your parcel.

If you don’t want to wait for the courier to arrive, select one of our convenient drop-off services.

Saudi Arabia delivery

Before you choose your delivery date it’s a good idea to make sure someone will be in to accept your parcel. We deliver between 9am and 7pm on working weekdays, so someone should be available at the delivery address all day.

If this is inconvenient, consider booking a timed delivery, to narrow down when we will arrive. If you have sent a big or bulky parcel, then our driver cannot unload it on their own; for health and safety reasons you must assist them.

Tracking your delivery to Saudi Arabia

Unravel the mystery of international shipping with Parcelcompare’s real-time delivery tracking. We show you the countries, ports and depots which your parcel passes through on its way to its destination, so you always know where it’s headed next.

And should your delivery fall behind schedule, we’ll email you and your receiver to let you know. Our UK-based customer services team are experts at working with our couriers on the ground to make sure your parcel overcomes any obstacles.

Sending gifts to Saudi Arabia

As if they don’t have enough already, Saudi Customs are clearly keen to spread a little sunshine throughout the country, offering a tax and duties exemption for all gifts imported into the country worth up to US$100. To qualify for this, be sure to add ‘gift shipment’ to your goods description when making your booking.

It’s lovely to rip open fresh wrapping paper and uncover the present beneath, but with international shipping there’s always the chance that it will be customs officers enjoying this pleasure. Consider a gift bag for easy-to-open attractive presentation.

Large and heavy shipping to Saudi Arabia

Don’t let the bulk of your parcel get you down – let Parcelcompare take the weight off for you. We can deliver oversized and heavy packages weighing up to 1,000kg, or up to 270cm on their longest side.

We offer a range of door-to-door and port-to-port logistics services for heavy freight delivery, with both fast and economy air-freight options.

If you’re sending an item on a pallet, be sure to tell us in advance and we will provide a pallet truck and vehicle with a tail lift both when we collect and deliver.

Sending food to Saudi Arabia

Food can make a lovely gift for someone looking for an alternative to Aseedah, and Parcelcompare makes it easy to ship. However, along with the rules shown below Saudi Arabia has its own restrictions on importing certain foodstuffs.

All pork products and foods made using any ingredients from swine are strictly prohibited, as is frog meat and anything made from animal blood. Avoid these and your recipient should be in for a delicious treat.

Non-perishable foods

  • Store bought foods with a best before date over 6 months away

  • Items must be in the original manufacturers packaging and unopened

  • The food label needs to list all the ingredients

  • The best before date must be displayed on the packaging

  • Examples of pershable foods: Crisp and savory foods, Chocolates and candy, Canned foods, Herbs and Spices in sealed containers, tea bags, Jams and other preserves

What you cannot send:

Perishable foods

  • Foods with a shelf life of less than 6 months

  • Homemade foods or any foods not in the original manufacturers packaging

  • Foods that can spoil in transit.

  • Food in packaging that have been opened

  • Food that does not contain a food label listing the ingredients

Packaging your parcel

It’s a long way from the UK to Saudi Arabia, and your box has to travel that distance surrounded by, or even stacked under, other packages of all shapes and sizes. Package it properly and you can rest safe in the knowledge that your goods are properly protected.

Simply follow these three simple steps when preparing your parcel.

1. GET A NEW BOX

If you think of boxes like athletes about to set out on a long-distance race, then a new box is fresh and rested, whereas an old box has already run a marathon before it has even reached the start line. Which one is more likely to collapse on the way?

2. PACK YOUR BOX

Wrap each item individually, taking care to secure any moving parts. Then place them into your box in a nest of packaging material, such as packing peanuts. Fill your box so that nothing moves when you shake it.

3. SEAL YOUR BOX

Using parcel tape create a Union Flag pattern around your box, going three times in each direction. Cover seams and corners to add extra reinforcement to your box. Attach labels with the barcode easily scannable.

Saudi Arabia public holidays

Sending a gift to celebrate a holiday is a lovely thing to do for a friend or loved one, but if it doesn’t arrive in time it can all end in disappointment.

Don’t leave your family waiting at the door – use the list of public holidays in Saudi Arabia below to plan your shipments. And remember, we don’t deliver or collect on the holiday itself.
