These are ranges, not quotes. What you actually pay depends on the finished weight and size of your box after we repack it, which is usually less than the sum of the parcels that arrived. Worked out 2026-10-31.

Why one box beats five parcels

International shipping is charged on the greater of actual and volumetric weight, and every parcel carries that cost separately. Five 1 kg parcels to Saudi Arabia are priced as five shipments; repacked into one 4 kg box — packaging stripped, which is where the fifth kilo goes — they are priced as one. That is the difference between the 1 kg row above multiplied by five and the 5 kg row on its own.

Premium or Economy to Saudi Arabia?

Premium is a direct courier with end-to-end tracking and priority customs handling. Economy is consolidated and takes a few days longer for a lower price. Typical transit to Saudi Arabia is 4 to 6 business days from dispatch; Economy sits at the longer end of that. Both are tracked. More on choosing Premium or Economy and on how long shipping from India takes.

Shop from India to Saudi Arabia — what people actually buy

Outside Riyadh, Jeddah and the Eastern Province the Indian shops thin out fast, and what is stocked leans towards north Indian staples rather than Kerala ones. Shopping from India closes that gap. Saudi sockets are a mix of types and voltages depending on the building age, so check the plug and the rating on anything electrical before you order rather than after it lands. Send the Indian-language school material well before the academic year, not during it.

  • Kerala food items and spices
  • Childrens books and school material in Malayalam
  • Traditional clothing for family occasions
  • Household items unavailable locally

Saudi customs is strict on declarations — we list contents accurately on every shipment, and some categories need extra paperwork.

We deliver door to door across Saudi Arabia, including Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, Al Khobar and Jubail.

Customs and restrictions

Personal parcels up to SAR 1,000 (including shipping) are generally free of customs duty, but 15% VAT applies to imports. Above SAR 1,000, duty applies as well, commonly 5% of value and higher for some categories. Commercial shipments require SABER registration; declare contents accurately.

Not accepted

  • Alcohol and pork products
  • Non-Islamic religious items, idols, and imagery
  • Pornographic and religiously/politically sensitive material

  • Food — packaged, sealed and halal; declare contents

Cities we ship to in Saudi Arabia

Shipping from India to Riyadh

Riyadh's Indian community is large and professional, and Batha has been its commercial centre for decades. Saudi Arabia is the strictest Gulf destination for what may be imported, so people here tend to know the rules better than most — and to check before ordering rather than after.

What people in Riyadh order most: groceries and provisions from home; clothes and family shopping; school and exam books; household and kitchen items; gifts for trips home.

Saudi customs is the most restrictive of the Gulf destinations we serve, and the restrictions are not only about medicines — religious material, imagery and certain foods are treated differently here than in the UAE. Read the Saudi Arabia restrictions page before you order.

We deliver across Riyadh, including Batha, Olaya, Al Malaz, Sulaimaniyah, Exit 5, Al Naseem.

What is the cheapest way to ship clothes from Kerala to Riyadh?

Send everything as one box rather than several parcels. With India Rabbit, family can hand clothes in at our warehouse in Kerala or ask us to collect them anywhere in Kerala, or you can order to your free Indian address; we combine it all and ship one box to Riyadh, typically 4 to 6 business days after it leaves India. Parcels up to SAR 1,000 including shipping are generally free of customs duty, but 15% VAT applies.

Is shipping to Saudi Arabia more restricted than the UAE?

Yes, noticeably. The list of what may not be imported is longer and covers categories that are unremarkable elsewhere. The Saudi Arabia restrictions page is worth reading in full before your first order.

Do you deliver to Jeddah and Dammam?

Yes. Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, Khobar and elsewhere — the same shipment, a different delivery address.

Yes. Order to your India Rabbit address as an ordinary customer in India. We receive the parcel at our warehouse in Kerala, hold it free for 30 days while your other orders arrive, and forward everything to Saudi Arabia in one box.

How much does it cost to send a parcel from India to Saudi Arabia per kg?

From India to Saudi Arabia, a 1 kg parcel starts at ₹2,250 (about SAR 89), and the rate per kilo falls as the box fills: about ₹1,380 (about SAR 54) per kg for a 5 kg box and ₹1,150 (about SAR 45) per kg for 20 kg, on Economy, with GST and payment charges included.

Can I send a courier from India to Saudi Arabia with India Rabbit?

Yes. Order from Indian shops to your India Rabbit address, or have family in India send things there by any domestic courier. We receive and photograph every parcel, combine everything into one box and ship it to Saudi Arabia with tracking, typically 4 to 6 business days after dispatch.

What is the cheapest way to ship from India to Saudi Arabia?

Order everything to your Indian address first and have it forwarded as one box. International shipping is charged per shipment on the greater of actual and volumetric weight, so five parcels sent separately cost far more than the same goods repacked together. Where we run an Economy lane to Saudi Arabia, it is cheaper again than direct courier in exchange for a few more days in transit.

How long does delivery to Saudi Arabia take?

Typically 4 to 6 business days from the day your consolidated shipment leaves our warehouse, plus customs clearance at your end. Time in storage before you request shipping does not count towards that.

How much can I save by combining parcels?

International shipping is priced on weight and size, so five separate parcels cost far more than one. We repack everything into a single box and strip unnecessary packaging to cut volumetric weight. The saving scales with how bulky the original packaging was — up to 80% on bulky retail boxes, considerably less on small dense items.

Will I pay customs duty in Saudi Arabia?

Personal parcels up to SAR 1,000 (including shipping) are generally free of customs duty, but 15% VAT applies to imports. Above SAR 1,000, duty applies as well, commonly 5% of value and higher for some categories. Commercial shipments require SABER registration; declare contents accurately. Duty is charged by the customs authority in Saudi Arabia, not by India Rabbit.

What can I not forward to Saudi Arabia?

Prohibited for Saudi Arabia: Alcohol and pork products; Non-Islamic religious items, idols, and imagery; Pornographic and religiously/politically sensitive material; Narcotics and controlled substances; Non-Islamic celebration items (often refused); Cash, currency, cheques, bullion, and loose precious stones. Check before you order.

How long will you hold my parcels?

30 days free from the day each parcel arrives, which is enough to finish a sale-season order and send it all together. Storage can be extended for a fee if you need longer.

Do I need an Indian card or phone number?

For most stores your own card works fine. Where a store insists on an Indian payment method, message us on WhatsApp before ordering and we will tell you what is possible.
