Express, ordinary air freight or sea?

Comparison	Express	Ordinary air freight	Sea
Time	1 – 5 days	3 – 8 days	2 – 7 weeks
Service	Always door to door	To the airport, or to the door by arrangement	To the port or the door
Best for	Documents, and parcels up to 70 kg a piece	Shipments from 70 kg to a tonne and more	Furniture, cars and large quantities of goods
Cost per kilogram	The highest	Lower as the weight rises	The cheapest by far
Clearance	Simplified for small parcels	Full clearance	Full clearance

The rule: an urgent document or parcel goes express. A heavier shipment that can take two more days is cheaper by ordinary air freight. And anything not urgent goes by sea. The full comparison is on the shipping methods compared page.

Express transit times by destination

Region	Examples	Door-to-door time
The Gulf states	UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman	1 – 2 days
The Levant and Egypt	Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt	2 – 3 days
Europe	UK, Germany, France, Italy	2 – 4 days
Asia	India, Pakistan, China, Malaysia	2 – 4 days
North America	USA, Canada	3 – 5 days
Africa	Morocco, Sudan, Nigeria, Kenya	3 – 6 days
Australia and Latin America	Australia, Brazil	4 – 7 days

The times are in working days and for main cities. Cities far from airports add a day or two, and customs clearance may add more if a document is missing.

Cost of express international shipping

At Home Safe, express shipping is charged per kilogram on chargeable weight. Send the weight, dimensions and destination to 0552803439, and you will have the price the same day.

Chargeable weight: the greater of actual weight and volumetric weight.
Volumetric weight: length × width × height in centimetres ÷ 5000.
An example: a carton of 50 × 40 × 40 cm weighing 8 kg. Its volume is 80,000 ÷ 5000 = 16 kg. So you pay for 16, not 8.
Destination: each country sits in a price zone.
Extras: the fuel surcharge, delivery in a remote area, and optional insurance.

Save through packing: a carton sized to the item lowers the volumetric weight. You pay for empty space inside the carton. Work out your weight with the volumetric weight calculator.

Shipping urgent documents

What is shipped: contracts, certificates and attested documents, bank papers, visa and university files, and tenders.
Packing: a sealed, water-resistant cardboard envelope.
Customs: documents of no commercial value pass without duty in most countries.
Delivery: against the consignee’s signature, with their name on the delivery notice.
A valuable original: photograph every page before handing it over. A passport ships under conditions, so ask first.

Shipping parcels, samples and spare parts

Personal parcels: gifts, clothes and belongings, with an invoice or a statement of value.
Online shop orders: from your shop to your customer abroad, with a commercial invoice.
Commercial samples: marked “sample of no commercial value”, with their value for customs.
Spare parts: for factories and workshops when a breakdown stops production.
The limit: a piece up to 70 kg. Anything above goes by ordinary air freight.

Details are on the parcel shipping page.

How does an express shipment travel?

Collection: from your location, with weighing, measuring and the waybill issued.
Sorting: at the hub the same evening.
Export clearance and departure.
The transit hub: it is transferred to the flight for the destination country.
Clearance in the destination country: begins before the aircraft lands, from the shipment’s data.
Delivery at the consignee’s door, against signature.

Customs in express shipping

The invoice: every parcel other than documents needs an invoice or statement of value with a precise description.
The exemption threshold: many countries exempt low-value parcels, and the threshold differs from country to country and changes.
Who pays: the consignee, by default. If you want nothing asked of them, pay the charges in advance when shipping.
Description: write “men’s cotton shirt”, not “clothes”. A general description is the first cause of a hold.
Value: the real one. An understated value is found out, delays the parcel and is fined.

Details are on the customs clearance page.

What cannot be sent by express shipping

Item	Rule
Cash, gold and valuable jewellery	Not allowed
Flammable materials and compressed gases	Not allowed
Perfumes and nail varnish	Under dangerous goods conditions, in limited quantities
Lithium batteries	Inside their devices, with a special label
Medicines	Personal quantities with a prescription, and by destination country
Foodstuffs	Dry and sealed tinned goods, and by destination country
Liquids	Sealed tight and double-packed, and by carrier

The general list is on the prohibited items page.

Delivery at the consignee’s door

The address: complete and in English, with its postcode and the consignee’s local mobile number.
Attempts: if the consignee is out a notice is left, and delivery is tried again or they collect it from the nearest depot.
The delivery notice: reaches you with the signatory’s name and the time.
PO boxes: not accepted as an address in most countries. Write a street address.

When is ordinary air freight cheaper?

Once a shipment passes 70 to 100 kilograms, the cost per kilogram by ordinary air freight falls clearly below express, in exchange for one to three more days. That suits travellers’ belongings, commercial goods and pallets. The details and worked examples are in the article on the air freight office in Jeddah and on the air freight page.
