Short answer: yes, they are among the most common items our customers ship. For personal use, clothes, shoes and bags are priced from the published table by chargeable weight (e.g. 10 kg $57.3 and 20 kg $99.3 to Saudi Arabia), including air freight, clearance procedures and door delivery in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kuwait, Qatar and Bahrain. For trade (a shop, a store or quantities from Istanbul's wholesale markets) we ship them cleared to the door in Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Kuwait with a quote tailored to your volume, and we handle the clearance procedures.
Our customers ask about them under different names; all ship the same way once we know the quantity and destination:
There is no minimum: from a 0.5 kg parcel to wholesale loads. Any battery-powered item (smartwatch, headphones…) cannot ship by air, so take it out of the bag before pickup.
By chargeable weight — the greater of actual and volumetric weight (L × W × H in cm ÷ 5000). Examples from the published table for personal shipments to Saudi Arabia:
| Chargeable weight | To Saudi Arabia | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 5 kg | $36.3 | A small bag of clothes or a gift |
| 10 kg | $57.3 | A medium carton of clothes |
| 15 kg | $78.3 | — |
| 20 kg | $99.3 | A full suitcase |
| 30 kg | $135 | $4.50 per kg |
| 50 kg | $195 | $3.90 per kg from 50 kg (UAE $170 · $3.40 per kg) |
The price includes air freight, clearance procedures and door delivery; it excludes destination taxes and duties (paid by the recipient, and payable in Istanbul) and packaging. Weight rounds up: half a kilo up to 20 kg, a kilo above. UAE, Kuwait, Qatar and Bahrain prices for every weight are on the prices page. Approximate transit for personal shipments is 2–4 days from departure to Saudi Arabia and 2–5 days to the rest of the Gulf.
We collect from your supplier in Laleli, Osmanbey, Merter or any wholesale market in Istanbul (or you deliver to our warehouse), weigh, pack and review the invoices, fly the goods, handle the clearance procedures, and deliver to your shop's door in Saudi Arabia, the UAE or Kuwait — or to BASMA's wholesale warehouse in Dubai (Umm Ramool), Jeddah, Dammam or Kuwait City. There is no automatic commercial price: the quote is built after knowing the goods type, quantity or weight and number of shipments, and covers shipping, clearance procedures and delivery. To Saudi Arabia the transit is usually 4–10 days from receiving the goods at our warehouse; to the UAE and Kuwait we set the approximate transit in the quote for each shipment. Details in the Laleli to Saudi Arabia wholesale guide, the commercial shipping to Kuwait guide and the commercial shipping to the UAE guide.
