International courier service in Dubai
Send documents, parcels or recurring business shipments from Dubai. Start with a rate estimate, then confirm the contents, packed size, destination postcode and pickup location before booking.

Courier, road freight or air freight?
Courier parcel
Usually the starting point for documents and packed parcels. Suitability depends on contents, size, route and urgency.
Estimate a parcel →Business shipping
For recurring international shipments where lane pricing, invoicing and pickup arrangements matter.
Business shipping options →Freight
For heavier, palletised or commercial cargo. Service is selected after reviewing packing, dimensions and documents.
Freight 100 kg+ →Courier, freight forwarder or international mover?
These services solve different problems. Choosing the right one avoids an incomplete quote or unnecessary follow-up.

Check before handing over the parcel
- Describe every item accurately.
- Use a supportable declared value.
- Check whether the item is restricted.
- Prepare a commercial invoice when required.
- Keep receiver contact details complete.
Not sure whether the item can travel?
Check the restricted-items guide before booking. Final acceptance depends on the carrier, route, packaging and applicable regulations.
Check restricted items →Compare the scope, not only the headline price
A useful comparison includes pickup, chargeable weight, service level, customs responsibility, destination delivery and support if information changes. The lowest displayed rate may not cover the same job.
For recurring shipments, use the business account route. For pallets, crates and heavier commercial cargo, request a freight review instead of forcing the shipment through a parcel calculator.
What your confirmed quote should state
A useful quote should identify the shipment, destination, chargeable basis, service level and included collection or delivery scope. Duties, taxes and special handling should not be assumed unless they are stated.
