Buy from FirstCry India and ship to the UAE

FirstCry runs its own UAE store, FirstCry.ae, priced in dirhams. The Indian site is a different shop. When the thing you want is only on the Indian one, a free Indian address gets it to you.

FirstCry to United Arab Emirates, in short
Can I order FirstCry to the UAE?Yes, through a free Indian address. Order on FirstCry's Indian site to your India Rabbit address at our warehouse in Kerala, as a customer in India, and we forward it. If FirstCry 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

FirstCry.ae is not FirstCry India

FirstCry.ae is a separate store for the Gulf, with prices in AED and its own catalogue. If the item you want is on it, buy it there: it is the simplest route. The Indian site, firstcry.com, is the one to use for what the Gulf store does not carry, or carries at a different price: Indian festival outfits in a child's size for Onam, Vishu or Diwali, Indian-language picture books, and the Indian baby-care brands a grandmother will ask for by name.

Electricals work here

The UAE runs 220 to 240V and India 230V, so a bottle warmer or steriliser bought on FirstCry India works in Dubai with a plug adapter. That is not true for the USA or Canada.

How it works

Add your India Rabbit address in Kerala to your FirstCry India account and order as a customer in India. We photograph each parcel on arrival, hold it free for 30 days, and send everything to the UAE in one box. Kerala to the Gulf is our fastest route, which matters with a child who is growing out of a size while you wait.

What to leave out

Formula, baby food and supplements: assume not, and check the prohibited items page. Prams and cots are charged on the space they take up, so they usually cost more to fly than to buy in Dubai.

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.

FirstCry to United Arab Emirates — questions

Does FirstCry India deliver to the UAE?

That can vary and change, so check at checkout. FirstCry also runs FirstCry.ae for the UAE. For anything only on the Indian site, order to your free Indian address and we forward it to Dubai, Sharjah, Abu Dhabi or anywhere in the UAE.

Why not just use FirstCry.ae?

Where the item is on FirstCry.ae, do. The Indian site is worth it for what the Gulf store does not carry, such as Indian festival clothes for children and Indian-language books.

Will a FirstCry India bottle warmer work in the UAE?

Yes, with a plug adapter. Both countries run on about 230V.
