Shop and Ship from India to the Gulf

What "shop and ship from India" means

You get an address in India. You shop on Indian websites as if you lived there, and every order goes to that address. When your orders have arrived, they are packed into one box and flown to you in the Gulf. That is what India Rabbit does: the Indian address is our warehouse in Kerala, with your own suite code, and it is free.

Several companies run international services with similar names. India Rabbit is a separate Indian company and is not connected with any of them; this page describes only what we do.

How it works

1. Sign up free and copy your India Rabbit address in Kerala with your suite code.
2. Add it as the delivery address on Amazon.in, Flipkart, Myntra, Nykaa, FirstCry, AJIO or any Indian shop, and pay the shop as normal.
3. We receive each parcel, open it and photograph what is inside, so you can check it before anything flies.
4. Every parcel is stored free for 30 days while the rest of your orders arrive.
5. Ask us to ship. We repack everything into one box, at no charge, and send it to your door.

There is no membership and no monthly fee. You pay only for the box you ship, priced on its finished weight. Put a realistic weight into the shipping calculator to see the Premium and Economy price for your country.

What Gulf customers order from India

Ethnic wear and sarees for weddings, Onam, Vishu, Eid and Diwali; Indian-syllabus school books and Malayalam reading; children's clothes; Kerala snacks and spices that are sealed and declared; kitchen tools for Indian cooking. Indian appliances work across the Gulf, since India runs 230V and the Gulf runs 220 to 240V; Saudi Arabia is the one country where some older buildings differ, so check the socket first.

What cannot be shipped

Gulf customs refuses alcohol, pork products and some religious items, and medicines need a prescription, with controlled medicines needing approval from the country's health authority. We cannot ship mobile phones, laptops or anything with a battery, perfume, aerosols or nail polish, or gold, silver and diamond jewellery, to any country. Each country's full list: Saudi Arabia, Oman, UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain.

Why one box saves money

Each international shipment carries its own base charge and is priced on the greater of actual and volumetric weight. Five parcels sent one by one are five shipments. Held with us, stripped of retail packaging and repacked, they become one. That is the whole idea of shopping and shipping through an address in India; see how consolidation works.
