Shipping options from Jeddah to Turkey and their timing
There is more than one way to ship from Jeddah to Turkey, each differing in timing, cost and the shipments it suits:
- Full container (20ft or 40ft): for whole homes and large quantities, arriving in 15–25 days to delivery depending on port and line schedules.
- Shared sea freight (LCL): you pay for your space by the cubic meter in a shared container — cheapest for small and medium quantities, a little slower while the container fills.
- Air freight: 3–5 days for urgent parcels, documents and samples, charged on chargeable weight.
| Method | Timing from Jeddah | Best for | Charged by |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full container | 15–25 days to delivery | Whole homes and large quantities | Per container |
| Shared sea freight | A little longer | Small and medium quantities | Per cubic meter |
| Air | 3–5 days | Urgent parcels and samples | Chargeable weight |

Air freight from Jeddah to Turkey
For small parcels, documents and samples, air freight from Jeddah to Turkey takes 3–5 days. It is charged on chargeable weight — the greater of actual and volumetric weight — so a large light box is charged on its size, which is why shared sea freight stays far cheaper for bulky belongings.
| Parcel | Dimensions and actual weight | Chargeable weight (divisor 5000) |
|---|---|---|
| Box of clothes | 60×50×40 cm — 8 kg | 24 kg (volume wins) |
| Box of books | 40×30×30 cm — 25 kg | 25 kg (weight wins) |

How to compare shipping companies
- Does the price include packing, loading, clearance and door delivery?
- 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.
Container types for shipping from Jeddah to Turkey
We choose the container by the shipment size, so you don’t pay for space you don’t need:
| Type | Approximate capacity | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Space in a shared container | From one cubic meter | Parcels and a room or small apartment |
| 20ft container | About 33 m³ in theory | Two- or three-bedroom apartment |
| 40ft container | About 67 m³ in theory | A whole villa or large commercial shipment |
| 40ft high cube | About 76 m³ in theory | Bulky furniture and long pieces |
What happens on loading day?
How each piece is packed
| Item | Packing |
|---|---|
| Bedrooms and wardrobes | Full dismantling, numbered bolt bags, blankets and stretch film. |
| Sofas | Fitted covers, then dust-proof film. |
| Glass and mirrors | Foam, corner guards and two rigid boards, carried upright. |
| TVs | Foam and rigid cardboard or original box, upright. |
| Fridge and washer | Emptied and dried a day before, drum locked, upright. |
| Kitchenware | Plates upright with dividers, cups stuffed with paper. |
| Antiques and paintings | Custom wooden crates — see shipping valuables. |
Office and company moves to Turkey
We move offices and branches to Turkey: office furniture, computers and servers, archives and safes, with cables and devices numbered, anti-static packing for sensitive equipment, and delivery outside working hours in commercial towers.
Temporary storage
If your Turkey home isn’t ready when the shipment arrives, we arrange temporary storage in a secure warehouse until handover, with the cost stated in the quote.
Tracking and communication
- A shipment number and bill of lading at loading.
- An update at every stage: loading, sailing, port arrival, clearance, delivery.
- One responsible person with a direct number throughout.
- Immediate notice of any port delay and its cause.
Delivery in Turkish cities
Special cases
Shipping from Turkey to Saudi Arabia
We also ship in the reverse direction with the same services, from Istanbul, Mersin and Izmir to Saudi ports and on to your city — useful for importing Turkish furniture, textiles and goods.
Shipping appliances and electronics to Turkey
Appliances ship with most furniture and are among the items most damaged by poor packing. Turkey runs at about 230 V and 50 Hz against 60 Hz in Saudi Arabia with European two-pin plugs, so you need adapters, and phones from abroad need paid registration to keep working on Turkish networks, 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.
How to choose a shipping company to Turkey
Turkish customs: what to know
Turkey is outside the GCC customs union. Personal effects and used furniture for residence-permit holders may receive special treatment under Turkish customs conditions, while goods and new appliances in quantity are subject to the tariff by HS code and origin, and some items need conformity certificates. The consignee’s Turkish tax number is usually required. We review your file before shipping — see import and export with Turkey.
The advantage of departing from Jeddah port
Jeddah Islamic Port is where the sea route toward the Suez Canal and the Mediterranean begins, so a Jeddah shipment enters the port after a short inland leg instead of the long road trip shipments from Riyadh or the Eastern Province carry — a clear saving on full containers.
