Qassim to Turkey in points:
- Qassim is far from the sea, so a road leg is part of every sea shipment.
- We choose between Jeddah and Dammam based on the sailing date and your address in Turkey.
- We ship full homes, furniture for summer flats in Turkey, cars and goods.
- Air goes via Riyadh, the fastest option with the most flights to Istanbul.
The shipment’s route from Qassim
| Route | Approx. road distance | Time to Mersin | Time to Istanbul |
|---|---|---|---|
| Qassim → Jeddah port → Turkey | About 950 km | 20 – 26 days | 24 – 32 days |
| Qassim → Dammam port → Turkey | About 750 km | 27 – 33 days | 30 – 36 days |
| Qassim → Riyadh Airport → Istanbul | About 330 km | 4 – 6 working days | 4 – 6 working days |
The Jeddah route is longer by road but much shorter by sea, because ships from there head straight to the Suez Canal. That’s why it’s our choice for most Qassim shipments to Turkey, unless the Dammam sailing is sooner.
Your summer flat in Turkey, furnished from your Qassim home
Many families from Qassim spend the summer in Trabzon, Bursa, Sapanca and Istanbul, and some have bought flats there. Rather than buying new furniture each time, some ship a room, a living room set or appliances from their home. We arrange this in a shared container where you pay for volume only, and prepare the tapu or rental contract usually requested at clearance.

Packing furniture in Qassim homes
Qassim homes are large, with separate majlis rooms, spacious bedrooms and full kitchens. The long journey by road and then sea needs packing that holds up:

- Mattresses in thick, sealed protective bags.
- Sofas and majlis seating in plastic, then moving blankets.
- Beds and wardrobes dismantled, with screws numbered.
- Kitchenware in numbered double-wall cartons, and appliances with brands and serial numbers on the inventory.
- Rugs rolled, tied and covered.
Loading in Qassim
The truck stops at your home and the furniture is loaded in a planned order so nothing shifts on the long road to the port. With a private container, it’s sealed in Qassim and travels sealed all the way to Turkey. With a shared container, your items go to the consolidation warehouse with their own mark and number.

Car shipping from Qassim to Turkey
We fit a protective cover, secure the car inside the container with chocks and straps, and it travels in the same container from Qassim to Turkey. We photograph it before closing to document its condition.

Because bringing cars into Turkey is restricted, with temporary import usually tied to residence and the car’s age and permanent import carrying high taxes, we review your case before booking. The papers: a valid registration, no fines or liens, an export request through Absher or the traffic department with the plates handed in, and copies of your passport, iqama and driving licence.
Air freight from Qassim to Turkey
We collect parcels in Qassim and take them to King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, then on to Istanbul Airport, arriving in about four to six working days. It suits documents, clothes, small devices and what you need in your flat in Turkey before the container arrives.

It’s charged on the greater of actual and volumetric weight.
Shipping goods from Qassim
Packaged dates, food products, perfumes and various goods leave Qassim for Turkey. We stack them on pallets and prepare the commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, and the health certificates for food products that the importer in Turkey asks for.

Tips for Qassim customers
- Book early, as the road leg needs coordinating with the sailing date.
- Measure your flat’s entrances in Turkey before shipping a large sofa.
- Keep passports and important papers with you, not in the container.
- Photograph your furniture before packing.
From the Turkish port to your door
The shipment doesn’t end at the quay. After clearance we arrange road transport to your city, whether that’s either side of Istanbul, Bursa, Sapanca or Kocaeli in the Marmara region, Ankara or Konya in central Anatolia, Antalya, Adana or Mersin in the south, Trabzon or Samsun on the Black Sea, or İzmir in the west. We agree on an arrival time with you, carry everything up to your floor and reassemble what we dismantled if you ask.
Do you need cargo insurance?
If your shipment includes a car, electronics, antiques or furniture of special value, insurance is worth its small cost. It is calculated as a percentage of the declared value and covers the shipment by land and sea. We record the condition of your items with photos during packing, so there’s no dispute later about how they looked before shipping.
How to choose a shipping company to Turkey
- Ask about the arrival port: a company that knows its work picks the port from your address rather than sending everything to one port.
- Ask for a price breakdown: does it include packing, transport to the port, clearance and delivery?
- Check the inventory: Turkish customs want brands and serial numbers, and a weak inventory delays release.
- Ask who packs: the company’s own crew or casual labour.
- Follow-up: will you know the sailing and arrival dates, and who to call in Turkey?
