Shipping from India to Abu Dhabi
Abu Dhabi's Indian community skews towards families who have been in the UAE a long time — engineers, medical staff, teachers, oil and gas. That shows in the orders: less impulse fashion, more of the things that make a household feel Indian, and a lot of school and exam material for children in Indian-curriculum schools.

4 to 8 business days once your box leaves our warehouse, plus clearance.
Free storage
30 days per parcel, so you can wait for the rest of the order.

What to know about this route
Abu Dhabi is served through the same Gulf route as Dubai and takes about the same time. If you are in Mussafah or one of the outer districts, allow an extra day for the final leg after clearance.

Shipping from India to Abu Dhabi — questions
Is shipping to Abu Dhabi slower than Dubai?
Barely. Both clear through the UAE and run on the same schedule; outlying districts can add a day on the final delivery leg.
Can I have school books forwarded before term starts?
Yes, and it is worth ordering early. Indian publishers sell out of prescribed texts near the start of the academic year and Kerala courier networks slow down at the same time.
How do I shop Indian websites from Abu Dhabi?
Sign up free and you get an Indian delivery address in Pala, Kerala with your own suite code. Use it at checkout on Amazon.in, Flipkart, Myntra, Nykaa, Ajio and almost any Indian store. We photograph each parcel as it arrives, hold it free for 30 days, and forward everything to Abu Dhabi in one box when you ask.
How much does it cost to ship from India to Abu Dhabi?
It depends on the weight and size of the box, so the calculator is the honest answer. What you control is the number of boxes: combining several orders into one is where the saving is.
Can I combine orders from several Indian stores?
Yes, and it is the whole point. Parcels from any number of stores are held together and sent as a single shipment to Abu Dhabi, so you pay one international rate instead of one per order.
