Short answer: BASMA Global flies shipments from Istanbul to Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam and every other Saudi city, customs cleared and delivered to the door. We handle the clearance procedures and paperwork: you hand over the goods in Istanbul and receive them cleared at the recipient's address. Personal parcels and luggage use one published table for every Saudi city — 5 kg $36.3 · 10 kg $57.3 · 20 kg $99.3 · 50 kg $195 ($3.90/kg) — usually 2–4 days from flight departure. Customs-cleared commercial cargo is quoted per shipment and usually takes 4–10 days from receipt of the goods at our warehouse.
| Step | What happens |
|---|---|
| 1 · Quote | Send the product type, quantity or weight and the destination city on WhatsApp. Personal shipments follow the published table; commercial cargo gets a written quote. |
| 2 · Pickup in Istanbul | We collect from any district of Istanbul — hotel, apartment or your supplier's warehouse; the fee depends on location and quantity and can be free. From other Turkish cities, send to us with MNG Kargo or Aras Kargo using BASMA's discount code. |
| 3 · Weighing and packing | Chargeable weight is the greater of actual and volumetric weight (L × W × H in cm ÷ 5000). Packing service is available; its cost is confirmed before the shipment flies. |
| 4 · Flight | We usually fly three times a week: Monday or Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday. |
| 5 · Clearance and delivery | Customs procedures take place before ZATCA; we carry them out and deliver to the door in Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam or any Saudi city. |
The same published prices apply to every Saudi city:

Above 150 kg, and for all commercial cargo, our team prices each shipment; Saudi quotes for commercial cargo include the applicable tax. Full table 0.5–150 kg.
Personal shipments and excess baggage: usually 2–4 days from the actual flight departure to your address (waiting time before departure is not included); it can be longer depending on destination procedures. Customs-cleared commercial cargo: usually 4–10 days from the day we receive the goods in our warehouse until delivery, depending on flights, holidays and clearance. These are estimates, not guarantees; large quantities may be flown in batches on an agreed schedule.
