Shipping from India to Dubai

Dubai has the largest Malayali population of any city outside India, and it shows in what leaves our warehouse. Between Karama, Bur Dubai, Al Nahda and Deira there is an entire parallel economy of people who grew up on Indian shopping and now cannot buy from it — because Amazon.in, Flipkart and Myntra all stop at the Indian border.

Typical transit

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.

One box

Every parcel combined and repacked, so you pay one rate rather than several.

What people in Dubai have us forward

  • Kerala groceries, spices and pickles
  • kasavu and wedding wear for functions back home
  • Malayalam books and magazines
  • ayurvedic and herbal preparations
  • school and exam books for children in Indian-curriculum schools

What to know about this route

This is our fastest route. Flights between Kerala and Dubai run several times a day, so a consolidated box rarely waits for space. The thing that catches people out is not transit but timing — order in the week before Onam or Eid and every courier in Kerala is at capacity before your parcel even reaches us.

Customs and duty in United Arab Emirates are decided by United Arab Emirates and collected by the carrier on delivery — they are never part of our quote. What you cannot ship to United Arab Emirates (UAE) →

Shipping from India to Dubai — questions

How long does shipping from India to Dubai take?

Typically 4 to 8 business days from the day your consolidated box leaves our warehouse, plus clearance. It is the shortest of our routes because the Kerala–Dubai air corridor is one of the busiest in the world.

Can I send Kerala food items to Dubai?

Packaged, sealed, shelf-stable food is generally accepted, and it is one of the most common things we forward to Dubai. Nothing perishable, and check the UAE restrictions page before ordering anything unusual.

How do I shop Indian websites from Dubai?

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 Dubai in one box when you ask.

How much does it cost to ship from India to Dubai?

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 Dubai, so you pay one international rate instead of one per order.
