Best Home Removals Company from Saudi Arabia to UAE | 0568829975 ◈ Free Survey, Itemised Quote and Car Shipping

If you are looking for the Best Home Removals Company from Saudi Arabia to UAE, start with what a mover does before it names a figure. Al Rahwan surveys your home free of charge, gives you an itemised quote and a signed inventory, then moves your household in closed trucks through the Al Batha border post into the UAE at Al Ghuwaifat. Delivery takes 2–3 days from Riyadh, Dammam and Al Ahsa, and 3–5 days from Jeddah, Makkah and Madinah, counted from the day of loading. And since money is always the next question: a flat of three or more rooms costs from SAR 4,100 to move, a villa starts at SAR 8,300, and if your sedan is following you, its shipping begins at SAR 1,100. Phone 0568829975 on any day from 7 in the morning until 11 at night; the online survey request never closes.

Every advert claims to be the best, and the word means nothing until it turns into things you can check for yourself: who comes to your home, what paper they leave with you, who handles customs at the border, and who puts the bed back together at the other end. This page gives you that yardstick. It walks through the selection criteria one by one, the warning signs that expose a weak operator in the first phone call, a side-by-side comparison of a professional company and an unlicensed hauler, the right service for each type of customer, the starting price of every kind of move, the paperwork, the route, car shipping, and air freight for whatever cannot wait.

What Makes a Removals Company from Saudi Arabia to the UAE the Best?

The best company can prove eight things before you pay: that it is a registered business with a genuine transport activity, that it surveys before it prices, that its quote is itemised, that it signs an inventory with you, that its insurance has clear terms, that it has real customs experience at Al Batha and Al Ghuwaifat, that it has an assembly crew in the UAE, and that it stays reachable after delivery. Each of these protects you from a specific loss. Here is what each one means in practice.

A Commercial Registration and a Transport Activity You Can Verify

A hauler taking your home across an international border has to be an established entity you can hold to account. Ask for the full trade name and registration number, check that the registered activity relates to transport or shipping, and make sure the name on the quote is the same one you will pay. This is not fussiness. If the truck is late or a piece breaks, you need an organisation with an address, not a mobile number that may switch off after the booking. The authorisation you give on the Fasah platform also goes to a named customs broker, so a company that does not know who clears its shipments cannot promise you a date.

A Survey Before the Price, Not a Guess Over the Phone

A three-bedroom home might fill half a truck or a whole one. The difference lies in the number of wardrobes, the bookcase in the hallway, the store room on the roof, and whether the kitchen is coming or staying. Nobody can give you a final figure from a phone description. At Al Rahwan the survey is free: a supervisor visits or joins you on a video call, counts the pieces, measures what needs measuring, looks at the stairs, the lift and the street outside, and asks about your address in the UAE. That visit produces a quote based on what the surveyor actually saw, not on a phone description.

An Itemised Quote

A single total is not enough to compare movers. A good quote lists dismantling, packing, transport, customs clearance, unloading, assembly, car shipping, insurance and any storage, each on its own line, so you can see what you are paying for and what has not been counted yet. Put two similar quotes side by side and you will often find that the cheaper one leaves out assembly in the UAE, charges for cartons later, or leaves clearance to you. Al Rahwan sends its quotes broken down this way, and insurance appears as a separate line that you choose whether to take.

A Signed, Photographed Inventory

The inventory is the document you will go back to if there is ever a disagreement. It lists every piece and every numbered carton, the room each carton came from, and the condition of valuable items before packing, with photos. It is also the basis of the packing list submitted to customs on both sides, so if it is incomplete the shipment waits at the border. Sign it together with the move supervisor, keep a copy on your phone, and go through it again in the UAE before the crew leaves.

Insurance on Clear Terms

Plenty of movers say “guaranteed” and leave it there. The right question is what the cover includes, on what value, and how a claim is made. Insurance at Al Rahwan is optional and is added at booking only if you ask. It is calculated on the value you declare for your items and on the photographed inventory, and it shows as its own line on the quote. If you have expensive pieces, declare their real value; if your household is ordinary, good packing may be enough. What matters is that you know what you chose before the truck leaves, not after it arrives.

Real Clearance Experience at Al Batha and Al Ghuwaifat

The border is where shipments with unprepared paperwork get stuck. An experienced mover knows that the Saudi side needs an electronic authorisation for the broker on Fasah, that entry into the UAE is processed by Abu Dhabi Customs at Al Ghuwaifat, and that a Dubai address means the shipment must also be lodged on Mirsal, the Dubai Customs platform. It knows that cartons may be opened for inspection, so it numbers them and lists their contents in a way that lets them be closed again without chaos. Ask any company who stands with the shipment at the border. If the answer is vague, that tells you enough.

An Unloading and Assembly Crew in the UAE

Half the value of a move shows up on arrival day. Some haulers drop the load at the building entrance and drive off, leaving you alone with a dismantled bed, a wardrobe with no screws and a pile of cartons with no idea which belong in the kitchen. Al Rahwan’s arrival service covers unloading, laying out, assembly and arranging: the carpenter rebuilds what he took apart, pieces go into the rooms following the numbering written in Saudi Arabia, and the covers and packing materials are cleared away.

Follow-Up After Delivery

The first days in a new home reveal things you do not notice at handover: a wardrobe door that needs adjusting, or a carton opened late that turns out to hold a breakage. A good company stays on the line during those days, responds to your note and tells you what can be done. Al Rahwan’s customer service is on the phone seven days a week, 7 am–11 pm, so the relationship does not end with a signature on the delivery form.

Warning Signs: When to Hang Up and Look Elsewhere

Some signs appear in the first call, and ignoring them is the most common reason behind stories of lost furniture or loads held at the border. Hearing one of them does not necessarily mean the other side is a fraud, but it does mean you should ask more questions before paying a single riyal.

• A final price without a survey: anyone who quotes a firm figure for a whole home without seeing it will make up the difference on loading day, either with a sudden increase or by leaving items behind because “the truck is full”.
• Huge advertised discounts: offers exist in the market, and Al Rahwan itself runs offers most of the time, but a massive discount on a price that is not itemised usually means the original figure was inflated or something essential has been taken out of the service.
• Full payment up front: an international move happens in stages, and paying everything before a single carton is loaded leaves you with no leverage if the date slips or the story changes.
• A mobile number with no address or trade name: if you cannot find out who the company is or where its office is, you will not know where to claim if something goes missing.
• No inventory and no signature: “Don’t worry, everything will arrive” is not an inventory.
• Changing trucks at the border: some local haulers do not cross, so they unload your household near the border for a third party you have never met. Ask plainly: is the truck loaded outside my home the one that crosses?
• A vague timeline: “two or three days, hopefully” from someone who cannot name the border post or the documents is a sign that nobody has planned the trip.

A Professional Removals Company Compared with an Unlicensed Hauler

The table below puts the two side by side. The aim is not to frighten you but to show what you give up when you choose the cheapest option without asking questions:

Some of these points may not matter to you; a student moving one room does not need what a villa full of antiques needs. But the inventory, the customs handling and a truck that crosses the border itself are essential for any international move, however small.

The Best Choice Depends on Who Is Moving

No single service suits everyone. A good company asks about your situation first, then suggests what fits it. These are the cases that come up most often with Al Rahwan’s booking team:

A Family Moving a Whole Apartment

Here the priority is organisation: cartons for each room numbered with a colour or symbol, the children’s things and the kitchen loaded last so they come off first, and the family car shipped on a carrier during the same days. A full apartment of three or more rooms with appliances starts from SAR 4,100, and a smaller home of two bedrooms, a majlis and a kitchen from SAR 2,500. Most families also need a suitcase or two flown ahead for the days before the truck arrives.

A Villa Owner

A villa is a removal project, not just a move: large majlis seating, chandeliers, marble tables, garden furniture, a maid’s room and a store room. It needs two or more days of packing, timber crates for delicate pieces, and some back-and-forth with whoever runs the UAE building or compound. Villa moves start from SAR 8,300, and the right truck is often a full dedicated one that carries nobody else’s load.

An Employee Transferred on a New Contract

There is usually a start date to meet, so time is the deciding factor. The common solution is to move the household by road a few days after the employee travels, fly a case with documents, a work laptop and the first week’s essentials within 24–48 hours, and store the furniture in the UAE if the accommodation is not ready. If the UAE residence permit has not been issued yet, the work visa may be asked for in its place, depending on the rules applied when the shipment moves.

Students and Single Movers

There is no need for a whole truck. One room or a studio can ride a shared truck from SAR 1,300, or you may simply send boxes and bags: twenty kilos of carton from SAR 140, thirty kilos of suitcase from SAR 230. The idea is to pay for what you actually own, not for empty space.

An Office, Company or Institution

Office moves follow different logic: numbered files that must not get mixed up, computers and servers packed in shock-absorbing material, identical office furniture that needs careful labelling, and timing that ideally falls on a weekend so work does not stop. Al Rahwan moves the contents of companies, factories, schools, hospitals and government departments the same way: inventory, packing suited to each type of item, and delivery and arrangement at the new premises. Anything commercial needs commercial paperwork, which is covered in the documents section.

Ten Questions to Ask Any Company Before You Book

Write these questions down, put them to every company you call, and compare the answers rather than the prices alone. A serious company will answer most of them within minutes:

1. Will you come to survey, and when will I receive the itemised quote?
2. Is the truck loaded outside my home the same one that crosses Al Batha and Al Ghuwaifat and reaches my home in the UAE?
3. Who clears the shipment at both border posts, and what do you need from me for the Fasah authorisation?
4. Does the quote include dismantling, packing and assembly in the UAE, or is assembly extra?
5. How do you pack glass, chandeliers and televisions, and do you build timber crates for fragile pieces?
6. Is insurance available, on what value is it calculated, and how is a claim made?
7. How many days from loading to delivery from my city, and when is packing day?
8. How will I know where the shipment is? Will I get a message at the border and on arrival?
9. If my new home is still not ready when the truck arrives, can you hold my things?
10. How are payments made, and in what stages?

At Al Rahwan these questions are answered in the first call on 0568829975, and whatever needs a survey is answered straight afterwards in the quote itself.

One Road Out: Your City, Al Batha, Al Ghuwaifat

Whatever city you load in, the truck ends up at the same gate: Al Batha on the Saudi side, with Al Ghuwaifat waiting opposite inside Abu Dhabi emirate. No second road exists, which is why a company’s experience at this particular crossing is what makes the difference to transit time. Past the border the truck runs through Al Dhafra, then splits towards the capital and Al Ain or carries on north to Dubai, then on through Sharjah and Ajman towards Ras Al Khaimah and Umm Al Quwain, and Fujairah, Al Dhaid, Khor Fakkan and Kalba out to the east. For those who like numbers, the road from Riyadh runs roughly 1,060 km to Dubai and roughly 960 km to Abu Dhabi.

Transit time starts when the truck doors close, not on the day you call. Ahead of it, one day goes on the survey and another on packing, and big villas need extra days. If your travel date is fixed, book the survey at least two weeks ahead.

Road or Sea for a Home Move?

Now and then a customer mentions the sea, on the theory that ships are cheaper for big loads. Ocean freight to the UAE is built for commercial containers leaving Dammam’s King Abdulaziz Port or Jeddah’s Islamic Port for Jebel Ali, either as a full container (FCL) or as shared space in one (LCL). For a household, though, it is longer and more complicated: handling at two ports, maritime clearance, then a truck from Jebel Ali to your home. A big load alone, then, is no reason to choose it.

What You Will Pay: Starting Prices for a Saudi to UAE Home Move

The smallest home move Al Rahwan handles is a single room or studio, beginning at SAR 1,300; next come two bedrooms with majlis and kitchen at SAR 2,500, then three rooms or more with appliances at SAR 4,100, and at the top a villa at SAR 8,300. These are floors, not final figures: yours is confirmed after the free survey, in a quote broken down by item. The table below sets out the rest of what people usually send:

Car prices are in their own section below. Anything without a fixed price, such as a timber crate built for a particular piece, dismantling an air conditioner, storage or insurance, is priced after the free survey and appears on the quote as its own line.

Space or Kilos: What Sets the Price of a Household?

Households are priced on the space they fill and the work they need, not on the scale. What counts is the space your furniture takes up in the truck, the number of pieces that need dismantling and reassembly, and whether any items need special crates. Loose cartons and parcels are priced per piece or by the kilo (SAR 9 per kg for larger quantities), and air freight by chargeable weight, explained in its own section. That is why a bedroom set in heavy hardwood and one in pressed board can cost much the same: they occupy similar space in the truck.

Worked Examples from the Starting Prices

• Full apartment 4,100 + sedan on a shared carrier 1,100 = from SAR 5,200.
• Villa 8,300 + 4×4 on a shared carrier 1,400 = from SAR 9,700.
• Small apartment 2,500 + two suitcases by road (2 × 230) = from SAR 2,960.
• Furniture from one room 1,300 + three cartons (3 × 140) = from SAR 1,720.
• Full apartment 4,100 + luxury car in an enclosed carrier 2,300 = from SAR 6,400.

These are starting figures that simply add up the prices in the table. The actual quote may be higher if you ask for timber crates, storage or insurance. Al Rahwan’s offers, which run most of the time, are explained to you when you book.

Economy or Full Service? Shared or Dedicated Truck?

Full service means the crew dismantles, packs, labels, loads, transports, clears, unloads and reassembles. Economy means you fill the cartons yourself and leave the large and delicate pieces to the crew. A shared truck carries the households of several customers heading to the UAE, so you pay only for the space yours takes, though it may wait a day to fill up. A dedicated truck is yours alone and leaves on the day you choose; it suits villas, large homes and loads that cannot wait, and taking a whole trailer begins at SAR 6,500.

The Survey and the Timeline Before Moving Day

A successful move starts a month before the truck. This is the schedule Al Rahwan suggests for anyone moving a whole home to the UAE, and it can be compressed if you have less time:

Sorting is what delays people most. Many families discover on packing day that the store room holds things that have not been opened in years, and they get loaded because there is no time to think about them. Spend one weekend in the store room and on the roof before the survey, and the difference will show in the quote itself.

Packing and Protecting Valuable Belongings

The journey from the Kingdom to the UAE is long, and the summer heat and dust on the road test every layer of packing. A blanket and some tape are not enough. Al Rahwan chooses the packing for each item: wood is wrapped in a soft layer, then bubble wrap, then corrugated card on the corners; glossy surfaces are protected with film that does not stick to them; fabric is wrapped first in cloth or paper, then a blanket, then a loose plastic cover; and appliances go back into boxes that fit them or are padded on every side.

Glass, Mirrors and Chandeliers

Glass does not travel flat but standing on its edge, between two sheets of rigid board or inside a padded timber crate. Large mirrors are marked with an X of tape before wrapping so that if they crack they do not shatter. Chandeliers have their arms and crystals removed, each piece wrapped individually, then laid in a divided box.

Rugs and Fitted Carpet

Rugs are rolled, not folded, after the dust is shaken out, because folding leaves creases that may never disappear from a handmade rug. They are then wrapped in a plastic cover and tied. Carpet fixed to the floor is not usually moved unless you ask, since lifting it damages the edges.

Antiques, Paintings and Rare Pieces

What cannot be replaced is not left to an ordinary carton. The carpenter builds a timber crate to the measurements of the piece, lined with foam, and marks the correct orientation on it. This item has no fixed price and is set after the free survey according to size.

Air Conditioners, Kitchens and Appliances

A split unit is never disconnected until the technician has trapped its refrigerant inside the outdoor section, after which the pipe ends are capped against dust. An aluminium or wooden kitchen is dismantled into numbered units if it is going to be refitted in the UAE, after checking the measurements of the new kitchen first. The fridge is switched off a day before loading so it can dry out, and the washing machine drum is locked with its transport bolts, if you kept them.

Labelling is what makes arrival day easy. Each box is marked with its own number and the room it belongs to, and the screws of each dismantled piece go into a bag taped to it. When the crew walks into your home in the UAE they do not hunt for anything: the main bedroom gets its cartons, the kitchen gets its own, and the children’s things are opened first.

Loading, Trucks and Heavy Items

Not all trucks are the same. Moves to the UAE use closed trucks that protect the furniture from sun, dust and rain for the whole journey. Where a house sits in a narrow street, a small dyna may shuttle pieces to the large truck, while villas and full loads travel in a closed trailer. The truck is loaded in a deliberate order: heavy items at the bottom and against the front wall, long pieces upright and strapped, light cartons on top, and every row secured with straps so nothing shifts on the bends.

Heavy items such as steel safes, gym equipment, an upright piano or marble tables need their own plan: more crew, dollies and lifting straps, and sometimes an external hoist for upper floors if the lift or staircase is too tight. These pieces are noted during the survey so the crew brings the right equipment, rather than discovering their weight on loading day.

Protecting Your Household from Road Heat

In summer the temperature inside a truck climbs, softening some adhesives and affecting candles, cosmetics and food. These should not travel in your household cartons. Leather is covered in breathable fabric rather than clinging plastic, electronics are padded thoroughly, and loading times are chosen so the truck does not stand long in the sun.

Delivery and Assembly Across the Emirates

Trucks reach the Emirate of Abu Dhabi first from Al Ghuwaifat, then continue to the other emirates. Delivery with Al Rahwan does not mean dropping the load at the door; it means unloading, laying out, reassembling and arranging everything in its room according to the labels.

Plenty of Dubai and Abu Dhabi towers and compounds are run by property management firms, and your furniture will not get past the lobby until the service lift is reserved and the management office has issued a move-in permit. Apply for the permit several days ahead and give Al Rahwan the name and number of the person in charge, so the truck does not wait at the entrance.

The carpenter puts the beds, wardrobes and bookcases back together and hangs what needs hanging if the wall allows it, while the crew places the cartons in their rooms. Before he leaves, go through the inventory with him item by item and sign for delivery while you can see everything in its place.

Shipping Your Car with the Household from Saudi Arabia to the UAE

Most people moving home move their car too, and ideally it arrives in the same days as the furniture. It rides on a long carrier with two or more decks, under a protective cover, its wheels belted to the deck; prestige cars go in a carrier with closed sides. Car transit is 3–5 days from loading, because the carrier leaves once its decks are full.

For the car, have ready a valid istimara, its plates, the export certificate and a copy of the owner’s ID; add the financing bank’s letter if there is a loan on it, and the owner’s authorisation if someone else is sending it. Empty the car of personal belongings before shipping, because a car is not an extra carton, and keep the fuel gauge at roughly a quarter or lower. Photograph it from all four sides on the day you hand it to the carrier.

Just a Few Boxes? Cartons, Suitcases and Parcels

Not everyone searching for a removals company is moving a house. Some are sending their children’s books and winter clothes; others are completing what they left behind in an earlier move. For them, each piece has its own price: a small parcel (5 kg or less) begins at SAR 110, a 20-kilo carton at SAR 140, a 30-kilo suitcase at SAR 230, and bigger batches go by weight at SAR 9 a kilo. Write the recipient’s name and UAE mobile number on every carton and put a contents list inside, which makes clearance easier if it is opened for inspection.

Commercial Goods and Moving Offices and Institutions

Goods for sale are not shipped as household effects. A trader’s consignment travels with its own papers, namely the certificate of origin, the commercial invoice, the packing list and a copy of the trade licence, and it can go as a single pallet from SAR 740, in a container from SAR 2,300 (20 ft) or SAR 3,500 (40 ft), or on a dedicated trailer from SAR 6,500. Al Rahwan moves factory equipment, school and hospital supplies, and the furniture of offices and government departments, with an inventory that separates files from equipment and packing suited to the delicate items.

When moving an office, agree a schedule with the company that keeps downtime to a minimum: non-urgent departments are packed first, computers and servers on the last working day, and the new premises are arranged before the week begins. Number desks and chairs according to the new floor plan rather than the old one, so every employee finds their place.

Urgent Items by Air: The Fast Lane to the Emirates

Nobody flies a whole household; air is for the handful of things that cannot sit out the road trip, like official documents, the office laptop, personal medicines in reasonable quantities and clothes for the first week. These shipments take off from Riyadh (King Khalid), Jeddah (King Abdulaziz) or Dammam (King Fahd) and land in Dubai, Abu Dhabi or Sharjah, reaching the recipient in 24–48 hours.

Airlines bill for the room a shipment takes up, not only for what it weighs: multiply length by width by height in centimetres, divide by 6000, compare the answer with the scale reading, and the bigger number is what you pay on. Picture a carton measuring 50 × 40 × 30 cm: its size equals 10 kg, so even if the scale says 6 kg, the bill is for 10. That is why it pays to fill a carton properly rather than send a large one half empty. Air kilos have no single published rate, so the price for your shipment is worked out and sent to you item by item.

Which Papers Does a Move to the UAE Need?

On the Saudi side, four things cover a household: your national ID or iqama (a copy), a written packing list of the load’s contents, the broker’s authorisation on Fasah, and a note of who receives in the UAE, with their mobile, address, which floor, lift or no lift, and where goods go in. The UAE authority may then ask for more, depending on the rules applied when the shipment moves.

How Your Household Clears Customs at Al Batha and Al Ghuwaifat

Customs starts at your desk, not at the border: you log in to Fasah, the Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority’s platform, and authorise the broker to lodge the export entry for you. At Al Ghuwaifat it is Abu Dhabi Customs that admits the load, and when the address is in Dubai the shipment is also entered on Mirsal, the Dubai Customs system. Do not be surprised if an officer wants a box or two opened; a numbered carton that matches the list is opened and resealed in minutes.

The question everyone asks is whether used furniture attracts charges. The honest answer is that it is for the customs authority to decide how used belongings are treated, under whatever rules are in force on the day you ship. Do not trust anyone who gives you firm figures over the phone. State on the packing list that the items are used, attach the required documents, and the broker will tell you what the competent authority decides for your shipment.

What Cannot Travel with Your Household

Some items are banned outright, others need approval or declaration, and in both cases the customs authority has the final word:

• Banned outright: any weapon or round of ammunition, any narcotic, anything that explodes or catches fire, gas bottles however small, petrol and diesel, knock-off branded goods, and toxic or corrosive chemicals.
• Permitted only after approval or declaration: a drone, radio transmitters, oversized batteries, plants and seedlings, food that has to stay cold, and medicine beyond personal use.

Empty the gas cylinder and the fuel tank of any motorbike or generator, and keep cleaning products and pesticides out of the kitchen cartons. If you take a regular medicine, carry its prescription and send enough by air or in your own luggage.

Insurance and Guarantees: What Does “Guaranteed” Really Mean?

A real guarantee has three layers: packing that prevents damage, an inventory that proves the condition of items before the journey, and insurance that compensates if something happens that could not be prevented. Al Rahwan does not force cover on anyone. It is added at booking only on request, its basis is your own valuation of the pieces together with the photo inventory, and the quote lists it on a line by itself. Declare the true value of expensive pieces, photograph them before packing, and keep their invoices if you have them.

Tracking and Customer Service

Worrying about your things while they are on the road is natural, so Al Rahwan messages you at four points of the trip: when the truck doors shut, when it clears Al Batha, when it rolls into your city, and when the last piece is off. For reassurance in between, 0568829975 is answered all day, 7 am to 11 pm.

When the New Home Is Not Ready Yet: Storage

Sometimes the dates do not line up: the lease in Saudi Arabia ends before the UAE home is ready, or the other way round. Al Rahwan can hold your household either side of the border, in Saudi Arabia before you go or in the UAE until you get the keys, and the household stays packed and labelled as it is. Storage costs depend on the volume stored and the time it stays, and are quoted after the survey.

Steps to Book Your Home Removal to the UAE

1. Phone 0568829975 or book a survey online, saying where you live now and which emirate you are heading for.
2. Pick a slot for the free survey, in person or over video.
3. Receive the itemised quote and choose a shared or dedicated truck, plus insurance if you want it.
4. Prepare the documents, give the broker the Fasah authorisation, and book the service lift in the UAE.
5. Packing and loading day: dismantling, packing, labelling and a signed inventory, followed by the loading update.
6. Follow the updates as the truck crosses Al Batha and reaches your city.
7. Arrival day: unloading, laying out, assembly and arranging, then a check of the inventory and your signature.

Common Mistakes When Choosing a Removals Company

• Comparing only the total: two equal figures may hide assembly or clearance in one of them.
• Leaving the survey until the last week: there is then no time to build timber crates or book the service lift.
• Not declaring expensive items: then claiming their value after arrival.
• Packing important papers in household cartons: your passport and employment contract travel with you.
• Forgetting the building permit in the UAE: so the truck waits for hours at the entrance.
• Loading prohibited items without realising: a small gas cylinder in the kitchen can hold up the whole shipment.
• Not checking the inventory on delivery: signing before counting weakens any later claim.

A Checklist Before You Sign with Any Company

Before you sign and pay the deposit, go through this list. If you can answer yes to every point, you are dealing with a company that deserves your trust:

• I have seen the company’s trade name and confirmed it matches the quote.
• The survey has been done, and the quote is itemised with no unclear lines.
• The quote explicitly mentions dismantling, packing, transport, clearance, unloading and assembly.
• I know the type of truck, whether it is shared or dedicated, and that it crosses the border itself.
• I know the transit time from my city in days, and that it is counted from loading.
• I have decided on insurance and know the value it is based on.
• I know which documents are needed from me and who will handle the Fasah authorisation.
• I know how tracking updates will reach me and whose number to call.
• Payment stages are agreed, and I have not been asked to pay everything up front.

Frequently Asked Questions
