Courier or freight?

What a courier does — and why it is not freight

A courier carries individual items point to point: one dedicated driver collects at your address and hands the shipment to the recipient at the other end. Freight and cargo move palletised or bulk loads through depots, consolidated with other shipments and collected from a terminal rather than from your door. For a document, parcel or fragile item that has to reach the UAE recipient today, that is courier work — freight is built for volume, not for speed.

Courier

Small, traceable shipments carried one at a time, booked by the item. One driver, door to door, with express and same-day windows.

Freight and cargo

Consolidated pallets and bulk loads moving through depots, usually charged by weight or volume, with longer transit times.

Prepare your delivery before booking

A few accurate details help the courier collect and deliver without avoidable delays.

01

Use reachable contact details

Add a phone number for the sender and recipient, plus a building, office, villa or landmark that the driver can find.

02

Choose the correct item type

Select document, small parcel, large parcel or fragile item. Medical, animal and oversized shipments need their dedicated service.

03

Pack and label the item

Seal the parcel safely, write the recipient name and order reference, and mention access or handling instructions in the booking notes.

04

Choose the right speed

Express is a direct dedicated trip, Same-Day arrives by 21:00 when booked before the cut-off, and Standard is for non-urgent deliveries.
