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.

Delivery in Beirut and the mountains
Special cases
Shipping from Lebanon to Saudi Arabia
We also ship in the reverse direction with the same services, from Beirut and every area of Lebanon to every Saudi city, by sea or air.
Shipping appliances and electronics to Lebanon
Appliances ship with most furniture and are among the items most damaged by poor packing. Lebanon runs at about 220 V and 50 Hz against 60 Hz in Saudi Arabia, with outages, fluctuation and wide use of generators, so use voltage stabilisers for sensitive appliances, 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 Lebanon
Clearance at Beirut port: what to know
Lebanon is outside the GCC customs union, so duties depend on the shipment and its value. Personal effects and used furniture for returnees may be treated more easily under conditions and documents, while goods and new appliances in quantity are treated as goods, and medicines need a prescription and personal quantities. A broker in Beirut handles procedures, and we review your file before shipping so storage fees don’t build up — see receiving your shipment in Beirut.
