⚠️ Do not pack these

These stay with you or travel by a dedicated method.

| Item | How to prepare it |
|---|---|
| Clothes | Vacuum bags reduce volume, especially for air |

| Books | A small carton of no more than 20 kg so it does not tear |

💡 Put a list inside every piece
A small sheet inside the bag with the recipient’s name, number and contents helps if the outer tag is damaged on the way.
Several recipients on one trip
You may send a bag to your son in Irbid, a carton of gifts to your sister in Zarqa and a parcel to your parents in Amman. We record each piece under its recipient’s name and number on the same receipt, each recipient receives only their own item, and you get a separate notice for each handover.

Who uses this service?
When the recipient is elderly
If the recipient is a parent who cannot go out, we deliver at home, and one of the children can receive with authorisation. We call well before arrival.
Car shipping with luggage
If your car is following your luggage, a sedan starts from SAR 1,090 on a shared carrier, an SUV from 1,950 and a private flatbed from SAR 2,000. Luggage is not placed inside the transported car; it ships separately by number.
Air freight from Riyadh to Jordan
From King Khalid Airport to Queen Alia Airport, from SAR 55 per chargeable kg. The chargeable weight is the greater of actual and volumetric weight, so a large light carton may be charged above its weight.
Documents and customs
The sender’s ID and a copy, the recipient’s full name and Jordanian number, and a list of each piece’s contents. Personal belongings in reasonable quantities are not treated as goods; large quantities of one item pay duty and the 16% sales tax.
Delivery in Jordan
The courier calls the recipient before arriving, matches the numbers and ID, the recipient signs and you receive the delivery notice.
