Buy from Amazon India and ship to the UAE

The UAE has its own Amazon, and it is not the Indian one. Amazon.ae carries what the Gulf market buys; Amazon.in carries Indian-language books, Indian-brand groceries and ethnic wear at Indian prices. A free Indian address gets you the second one.

Amazon India to United Arab Emirates, in short
Can I order Amazon India to the UAE?Yes, through a free Indian address. Order on Amazon India's Indian site to your India Rabbit address at our warehouse in Kerala, as a customer in India, and we forward it. If Amazon India delivers to your address itself, compare its price first.
How?Sign up free, use your Indian address and suite code at checkout, and ask us to ship when your parcels have arrived. Each parcel is photographed on arrival and held free for 30 days.
What does it cost?From India to the UAE, a 1 kg parcel starts at ₹1,450 (about AED 56), and the rate per kilo falls as the box fills: about ₹880 (about AED 34) per kg for a 5 kg box and ₹710 (about AED 27) per kg for 20 kg, on Economy, with GST and payment charges included. We charge in rupees; the AED figures are approximate, at this week's exchange rate.
How long?Typically 4 to 8 business days after the box leaves Kerala, plus customs clearance.
What cannot be sent?Perfume and sprays, nail polish, aerosols, anything with a battery, phones and laptops, real gold, silver and diamond jewellery, incense and camphor. See the list

Amazon.ae is not Amazon.in

They are separate marketplaces with separate sellers and separate catalogues. Plenty of what people in Dubai and Sharjah want from India — Malayalam books, a particular brand of masala, a kasavu saree, a school text for a child following an Indian syllabus — is on the Indian site and not on the Emirati one, and where something appears on both, the Indian price is usually the reason people bother.

Electricals do work here

Unlike the USA and Canada, this is one of the easy destinations for Indian appliances. The UAE runs 220-240V on UK-style three-pin sockets, so an Amazon.in mixer grinder, kettle or iron works on a plug adapter alone. No transformer, no compromise. Anything with a battery, and anything pressurised, cannot be shipped.

How it works

Add your India Rabbit address in Kerala as a delivery address in your Amazon.in account and pick it at checkout. We receive each parcel, photograph it, hold it free, and combine everything into one box for the UAE when you say so.

Timing

Kerala to the Gulf is our fastest route, with frequent flights, which makes this one of the few destinations where ordering for a specific date is realistic. The cheap window is October, when the Indian festival sales run; the dates people actually want a box to land are Ramadan, Eid and Onam. Order in the first, ship for the second.

Costs and transit to United Arab Emirates

Typical transit is 4 to 8 business days from the day your consolidated box leaves our Kerala warehouse, plus clearance at your end. Parcels are held free for 30 days each while you finish ordering.

Amazon India to United Arab Emirates — questions

Does Amazon India deliver to Dubai?

That depends on the seller, the item and your address, and it changes, so check at Amazon.in checkout. If it will not, order to your free Indian address and we forward the whole box to Dubai, Sharjah, Abu Dhabi or anywhere else in the UAE.

Will an Amazon India mixer grinder work in the UAE?

Yes, with a plug adapter. The UAE runs 220-240V on UK-style sockets and India runs 230V, so the appliance itself is fine — this is the opposite of the USA, where the voltage makes Indian appliances unusable.

Why not just buy it on Amazon.ae?

Where the same item is on both, do. Amazon.ae and Amazon.in are separate catalogues, and the Indian-language books, Indian-brand food and ethnic wear people forward from India are largely not on the Emirati site, or are there at an importer's price.
