- Where exactly does the price end — door or warehouse?
- Will you give me an itemised quote?
- What is the lifting fee if there is no lift?
- Is there insurance, and on what value?
The full list is in questions to ask a shipping company before you pay, and how to read a quote in how to read a shipping quote.
Common costly mistakes
- Choosing the cheapest without comparing what the price covers.
- A vague packing list means the shipment is opened at the port.
- A forgotten restricted item in a storeroom box.
- No coordination with the destination building management.
- Signing before checking — all the mistakes are in common international shipping mistakes.

Delivery in Tunisia’s cities
Special cases
Shipping from Tunisia to Saudi Arabia
We also ship in the reverse direction with the same services, from Tunisia to every Saudi city, by sea or air.
Shipping appliances and electronics to Tunisia
Appliances ship with most furniture and are among the items most damaged by poor packing. Tunisia runs at about 230 V and 50 Hz against 60 Hz in Saudi Arabia, with European plugs, so you need adapters, so check motor-driven appliances.
| Appliance | Preparation |
|---|---|
| TVs | Foam and rigid cardboard, carried upright. |
| Fridges | Emptied and dried a day before; switch on hours after arrival. |
| Washers | Water drained and drum locked with transit bolts. |
| Computers | Back up data; anti-static packing. |
| Split ACs | Removed by a technician with the gas held in the outdoor unit. |
Insuring your shipment
Carrier liability is capped and doesn’t always cover real value, while cargo insurance covers the declared value within covered risks. We recommend it for whole-house moves, valuable appliances and cars, and show the premium separately in the quote — see international cargo insurance.
