Ship your furniture or sell it? How to decide
- Write the list: every large piece and appliance.
- Find its shipping cost: a single item from SAR 775, with the cost per piece falling as the shipment grows.
- Estimate its replacement cost in Dubai: new or used.
- Compare: if the replacement is cheaper than shipping and the piece has no special value, sell it.
- Ask about the Dubai home: what it already has is not shipped.
| Piece | Ship or sell? | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Good-wood bedroom set | Ship | Costly to replace, and survives dismantling and assembly |
| An old worn sofa | Sell | Takes much space for little value |
| Cheap chipboard furniture | Sell | It weakens when taken apart and rebuilt |
| Antiques and hand-made carpets | Ship | Irreplaceable |
| A recent fridge and washer | Ship after checking the frequency | Expensive, and a reasonable size |
| Split air conditioners | Usually sell | Most Dubai flats have central cooling |
| A gas oven | Usually sell | Many towers do not allow gas cylinders |
| Bookcase and books | Ship | Weight without much bulk, and personal value |
| Curtains | Usually sell | Dubai window sizes differ |
โ ๏ธ Check the mains frequency before shipping appliances
The voltage in the two countries is similar, but the mains frequency is 60 Hz in Saudi Arabia and 50 Hz in the UAE. Read the applianceโs label: one marked 50/60 Hz works in Dubai, while one marked 60 Hz only may not run as it should.

Shipping a car from Jeddah to Dubai
A car ships from Jeddah to Dubai from SAR 2,320 on a road carrier. Here too the ship-or-sell question applies: permanent registration in Dubai carries 5% duty on value and a technical test, so add it all up before deciding.
Air freight from Jeddah to Dubai
Anyone who sells the furniture and travels with suitcases sends the excess by air: from SAR 45 per kg in 24โ48 hours, with a box up to 15 kg from SAR 290.
Documents and customs
- Documents: ID or Iqama, packing list, the Fasah authorisation, and a UAE residence permit or tenancy contract if requested.
- Used furniture: usually exempt for someone relocating.
- What you buy new before travelling: pays 5%, so buying it in Dubai may be cheaper.
Delivery in Dubai
- Towers: a move-in permit and service-lift booking before the truck arrives.
- Villas and communities: a community gate permit.
- Assembly: each piece in its room, then the list is checked.
- Measuring: measure the homeโs doors and lift before shipping; a piece that will not fit was shipped for nothing.
