Air the things you can't live without. Sail the rest.
Air it (2-3 days) — the can't-wait box
- Kids' toys and comforters
- Clothes and shoes for the season
- The air fryer (and the kettle you actually like)
- School kit, uniforms, stationery
- Books
- Important documents and chargers
- First-night kitchen bits
Sail it (weeks) — the no-rush load
- Sofas, beds, wardrobes
- White goods and large appliances
- Garage and storage boxes
- Anything heavy you won't miss for a while
If you'd be gutted to be without it in week one — air it.
Sea or air? Have both.
Sea
- Bulk & heavy loads
- Typically 8-12 weeks
- Cost-effective per kg
Air
- The essentials
- 2-3 business days
- Fixed, from £130 per box
Sea freight is smart for furniture and white goods when you're not in a hurry. But it's slow — typically 8-12 weeks door-to-door once it's packed, sailed and cleared through customs. So don't choose: let the furniture sail, fly the essentials.

Questions
Isn't sea freight cheaper? Why would I fly it?
For heavy, bulky loads, sea can work out cheaper per kg — and we'd never talk you out of it. But for the handful of things you need in week one, waiting 8-12 weeks isn't worth it. Air the essentials from £130 per box; sail the rest.
How long does sea freight to Dubai actually take?
Sea freight is slow — typically 8-12 weeks door-to-door once it's packed, sailed and cleared through customs. Our air service lands your box in 2-3 business days.
How much does it cost?
Small parcels £49 (up to 35×25×15cm and 3kg, in your own packaging), boxes from £130 (small), £155 (medium), £200 (large), £300 (XL). Other box sizes are priced by the online calculator — get an instant quote.
Do you handle customs?
Yes — all customs paperwork is done for you. That's included, not an add-on.
Where do you collect and deliver?
Door-to-door: we collect from any UK address and deliver to any Dubai address. We post the flat-pack boxes to you first (a small parcel goes in your own packaging).
Can I send just one box / one parcel to Dubai from the UK?
Absolutely. A small parcel (up to 35×25×15cm, 3kg) is £49, and one box of essentials from £130 — there in 2-3 business days.
Where do you deliver in Dubai?
Any Dubai address — home or office. We deliver door-to-door once your box has cleared customs.
Is my shipment insured — what if something is damaged or lost?
Cover for loss or damage isn't included in our prices. Every box is tracked from collection to delivery. If you're sending anything valuable, tell us before you book and we'll talk you through the options. Our terms explain what happens if something goes wrong.
How do I pay?
Securely online at checkout when you book.
Are there things I can't ship to Dubai?
Some items are restricted by UAE customs and we'll guide you through what's allowed.
