Shipping Company from Qassim to Turkey: How Your Shipment Reaches Istanbul

The question Qassim customers ask most is whether a truck simply drives from Buraidah to Istanbul. The practical route for household furniture and cars to Turkey is the sea: the container is sealed once outside your home and is not opened again until clearance at the Turkish port, so goods are not loaded and unloaded repeatedly or shaken over thousands of kilometres of road. Your shipment therefore starts with a truck leaving Buraidah or Unaizah for Jeddah Islamic Port, a journey of roughly 1,000 km that usually takes one to two days, before the container is handed to the shipping line.

From Jeddah the vessel heads north through the Red Sea, passes the Suez Canal into the Mediterranean and calls at one of Turkey’s main ports. Mersin in the south is the closest on this line and suits addresses in Mersin, Adana, Gaziantep, Konya and Antalya. Iskenderun lies nearby and serves Hatay and the south-east. Ambarli, on the European side of Istanbul, is the natural stop for Istanbul, Bursa, Yalova and Sakarya, while Izmir serves the Aegean coast.

Why Jeddah Rather Than Dammam for Qassim Shipments?

Qassim is somewhat closer by road to Dammam than to Jeddah, but a vessel leaving King Abdulaziz Port in Dammam has to sail around the Arabian Peninsula before entering the Red Sea, which adds a long stretch at sea. That is why most Qassim shipments go through Jeddah Islamic Port, and Dammam is kept for special cases such as a convenient sailing or commercial cargo already stored in the Eastern Province. Either way, we explain both options before you book, with the difference in time and cost.

Why Qassim Customers Choose Al Saif

Our Qassim customers are not all alike. Some families from Buraidah and Unaizah have bought apartments in Istanbul, Bursa or Trabzon and want to furnish them with items from home. Others are students at universities in Ankara and Istanbul, expatriates of many nationalities who have decided to settle in Turkey, or date and farm-produce traders looking for a way into the Turkish market. Each needs a different solution, and we build the shipment around its size and purpose.

• Know-how on Turkish sea lines: we follow sailings from Jeddah to Mersin, Istanbul and Izmir and pick the port nearest your final address.
• Dismantling, packing and loading team in Qassim: working inside your home in Buraidah, Unaizah or Ar Rass and numbering every item before the container is sealed.
• Shared containers for small loads: no need to pay for a full container for one room or a few boxes.
• Two options on arrival: port-to-door delivery with assembly on request, or handover at the port to your Turkish clearance agent.
• Itemised quote: trucking, ocean freight, clearance and delivery each priced separately.
• Optional insurance: insurance can be added for valuable items on request.

Shipping Prices from Qassim to Turkey

We use the same starting prices for every Saudi city, so a Buraidah customer pays no more for shared container space than a customer in Jeddah. Differences come from trucking from Qassim to the port, the Turkish port chosen and the delivery address inside Turkey. Destination port charges, inland delivery in Turkey and Turkish customs clearance are set out in the itemised quote, so you know what you will pay before loading day.

What Sets the Final Price

• Volume and weight: number of rooms and items, or actual and volumetric weight for air freight.
• Container type: shared, full 20 ft or 40 ft.
• Destination port: Mersin, Iskenderun, Izmir or Ambarli in Istanbul.
• Services: dismantling, packing and assembly, wooden crates and storage.
• Collection and delivery points: a remote Qassim governorate, or a village in the Black Sea mountains of Turkey.

How to Save on Shipping

The cheapest way to move a room or a few boxes is a shared container, where you pay only for your share of the space. For a full home, compare a 20 ft with a 40 ft container; the gap is sometimes smaller than expected while the larger box fits everything you need. Leave old furniture behind, since some pieces cost less to buy in Turkey than to ship, and pack small items in boxes of the same size so space is used well. Book early before summer, when demand on Turkish lines rises.

Furniture Moving from Qassim to Turkey

Qassim homes tend to be spacious, with large majlis rooms, practical kitchens and full bedroom sets, in districts such as Al Rayyan, Al Iskan, Al Nahdah, Al Safra and Al Khaleej in Buraidah, and Al Faisaliyah, Al Sulaimaniyah and Al Aziziyah in Unaizah. Moving such a home into an Istanbul apartment needs planning, because Turkish flats are often smaller and their lifts narrow. Our team surveys the house and draws up a numbered contents list, advises on what is worth shipping and what can stay, dismantles large pieces, packs each item according to its type and labels every box with its room and number.

Bedrooms and Majlis Seating

Beds and wardrobes are taken down into panels, wrapped in padded plastic and heavy cardboard, and their screws are bagged, numbered and taped to each piece. Mattresses go into sealed covers that protect them from humidity throughout the sea voyage. Majlis cushions are folded and wrapped in blankets, and we recommend measuring the living room of the Turkish apartment before shipping so a seating set does not arrive larger than the space.

Kitchens, Including IKEA Kitchens

We dismantle kitchen cabinets and number every unit so it can be rebuilt in the same order. IKEA kitchens in particular need careful handling because their pressed-board panels react to moisture and pressure, so we add a protective layer and stand them upright in the container. Plates and glassware are wrapped one by one in divided boxes.

Appliances and Air Conditioners

Fridges and washing machines are emptied and dried a day before packing, and the washer drum is locked so it cannot move. Split air conditioners are removed by a technician who pumps the gas into the outdoor unit and seals the pipes. Remember that Saudi appliances may need plug adapters in Turkey, so ask an electrician there before switching them on.

Antiques, Valuables and Office Furniture

Antiques, mirrors, paintings and chandeliers go into wooden crates made to measure, and insurance can be added for valuable items on request. Office and company furniture is moved with desks, drawers and cabinets numbered, and equipment and files packed in sealed boxes labelled by department.

From Qassim to Jeddah Port: The Inland Leg in Saudi Arabia

After packing, goods are either loaded into a container delivered to your door in Buraidah or Unaizah and sealed there, or carried in a closed truck to our warehouse and consolidated into a shared container with other Turkey-bound shipments. The truck takes the road from Qassim via Madinah to Jeddah, and we follow it until it is handed in at the port and export formalities are completed through the Fasah platform. Loading day in Qassim is timed to the vessel’s sailing so the container does not wait long at the port.

Sea Freight from Jeddah to Mersin, Istanbul and Izmir

Sea freight is the route we use for homes, cars and commercial loads from Qassim to Turkey. We offer full containers (FCL) in 20 ft for an apartment or medium home and 40 ft for a villa or large house, and shared containers (LCL) for a single room or a limited number of items. Containers sail from Jeddah Islamic Port via the Suez Canal to Mersin in 15–20 days or to Ambarli in Istanbul in 18–25 days, and can be routed to Izmir or Iskenderun depending on the final address. A 20 ft container starts from SAR 6,000, a 40 ft from SAR 8,200, and a single room in a shared container from SAR 3,250.

Port to Door or Port to Port

With port-to-door service we follow the container’s arrival and clearance through a local Turkish clearance agent, then deliver to your address in Istanbul, Bursa or Ankara and assemble furniture on request. With port-to-port service the container arrives in Mersin or Ambarli and the consignee collects it through a Turkish customs broker of their own choice, who handles clearance and inland transport. Port collection suits customers with relatives or contacts in Turkey who know the market; door delivery suits those who want to find their belongings in the apartment without any follow-up.

Turkish Cities We Cover

Many Qassim families settle in Başakşehir, Esenyurt and Beylikdüzü on the European side for their modern residential compounds, while others prefer Üsküdar and Kadıköy on the Asian side. Bursa, Yalova and Sakarya attract families with their green landscapes and proximity to Istanbul, and Trabzon, with its mountains and lakes, draws many summer visitors. We choose the port by address and complete the journey by truck to the city required.

Qassim Families with Property in Turkey, Students and Movers

A clear share of Qassim requests comes from families who own an apartment or summer home in Turkey and want to send furniture, kitchenware or soft furnishings so it is ready for the holidays. A shared container or a 20 ft box with door delivery and assembly usually suits them. Students at universities in Ankara, Istanbul and Konya need books, clothes and personal electronics, which we fly out if urgent or add to a shared container if they can wait. And expatriates finishing their work in Qassim and relocating to Turkey need the whole home moved, with their paperwork arranged in advance.

Turkish Customs for Used Personal Effects and Cars

Turkish Customs sets the conditions for bringing in used furniture, personal effects and cars, and these depend on the consignee’s situation: a returning Turkish citizen, a foreigner holding a valid residence permit, or a property owner who does not live there permanently. Some cases may qualify for relief on used household goods when a residence permit or transfer-of-residence certificate is presented, others pay duties, and cars follow a separate regime that may allow temporary import for certain categories. Because these rules change, we ask every customer to confirm their specific case with Turkish Customs or the Turkish consulate before shipping, and we prepare declarations in line with the regulations in force at the time of shipping.

Furniture Documents

• ID or iqama, and passport.
• Numbered contents list.
• Fasah authorisation for export formalities.
• Consignee details in Turkey: passport, Turkish tax number and full address.

Commercial Documents

Commercial registration, commercial invoice, packing list and certificate of origin. Food products such as dates may need extra certificates set by the Turkish authorities, which we review with you before loading.

Commercial Cargo from Qassim to Turkey

Qassim is the Kingdom’s date basket and an active farming and industrial hub, with traders dealing with the Turkish market in both directions. We ship goods as part loads in a shared container from SAR 2,300 per ton, or as full loads in a 20 ft or 40 ft container. We prepare the customs data, follow the container to the port of arrival and hand it to the importer’s agent or deliver it to their warehouse in Turkey.

Car Shipping from Qassim to Turkey

Cars go to Turkey by sea in two ways. On roll-on/roll-off (RoRo) vessels the car is driven up the ship’s ramp and secured on deck, which suits ordinary vehicles. In a container, the car is lashed inside its own enclosed box, which suits luxury cars or owners who want extra protection. Sedans start from SAR 5,100, SUVs from SAR 7,500 and a car in its own enclosed container from SAR 12,000. We move the car from Buraidah or Unaizah to Jeddah port on a covered car carrier.

Car Shipping Documents

• Vehicle registration and owner’s ID.
• Export plates or export certificate.
• A bank letter if the car is financed.
• Traffic fines settled before export.

Bringing the Car into Turkey

Import conditions and fees for cars are set by Turkish Customs and are among the rules that change often. Please confirm with Turkish Customs or the Turkish consulate before shipping whether your car can be brought in and what charges apply, so the car does not reach Mersin or Istanbul only to meet an unexpected obstacle.

Air Freight from Qassim to Istanbul Airport

For documents, personal electronics, student luggage and urgent orders we offer air freight to Istanbul Airport, with routing also possible to Sabiha Gökçen Airport on the Asian side, Antalya Airport or Ankara Esenboğa Airport. We collect from your home in Buraidah or Unaizah, and the shipment flies from Prince Naif bin Abdulaziz Airport in Qassim or via King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh depending on available flights, arriving in 2–4 days. Prices start from SAR 14 per kg, charged on actual or volumetric weight, whichever is higher; volumetric weight = length × width × height ÷ 6000 in centimetres.

Because a large, light box is charged by its size rather than its weight, keep empty space to a minimum, send furniture and heavy items by sea and keep air freight for what cannot wait. Documents start from SAR 85 and parcels up to 5 kg from SAR 110.

Road, Air or Sea?

In short for Qassim customers: sea for homes, cars and cargo, air for urgent and light items. We do not offer a road route to Turkey, because sea is the practical option for household goods and vehicles.

Prohibited Items and Packing

We do not accept flammables, gas cylinders, loose batteries, medicines without a prescription, or plants and seeds without a permit. This matters to Qassim customers in particular, as some wish to send palm offshoots or seeds, which cannot ship without an agricultural permit. Empty the fuel tanks of small equipment, remove batteries from devices and carry personal medicines with their prescription in your hand luggage. For packing, use double-wall boxes for heavy items, fill gaps with paper and write the contents on the side of each box, because the sea voyage is long and humidity is hard on weak cardboard.

Parcels, Bags and E-commerce Orders

Parcels fly from SAR 110 up to 5 kg, with extra weight charged from SAR 14 per kg. We ship excess luggage, boxes of clothes and gifts such as Qassim dates and perfumes for relatives in Turkey, and we serve online stores in Buraidah and Unaizah selling to customers in Turkey by collecting their orders and sending them to buyers’ addresses.

Distance and Time from Qassim to Turkey

Clearance at the Turkish port and delivery to the address are added to the sea transit, and vary by port, city and customs procedures.

Shipment Tracking

We update you when the truck leaves Qassim, when the container is handed in at Jeddah port and when the vessel sails, and we give you the container and bill of lading numbers to follow with the shipping line. We then let you know when it reaches the Turkish port and when delivery is scheduled.

Storage Before or After Shipping

If you must hand back your Buraidah home before the sailing date, or your apartment in Turkey is not ready yet, we store furniture in a closed warehouse until the date, priced by volume and duration.

Shipping from Turkey to Qassim

We also serve the reverse route: families returning from Turkey to Qassim after study or work, and traders importing Turkish furniture, textiles and food products to Buraidah and Unaizah. We collect from Istanbul, Bursa or any Turkish city, ship to Jeddah or Dammam and truck the goods on to Qassim, in line with the regulations in force at the time of shipping.

When Is a Good Time to Ship?

Spring and autumn are comfortable seasons for moving a home to Turkey. Summer is busy with owners preparing holiday homes before the break, and winter snow can delay deliveries to mountain areas such as Trabzon. If your date falls in summer, book early so the container arrives before you travel.
