Our services

Seven services covering your shipment's entire journey

From the first survey at your home to delivering the last item at its destination — every stage is handled by a specialist team, not a subcontractor.

Furniture moving — Al Basma Express 🚚 Service 1

Furniture moving

Move your home furniture within the city or between cities with a trained crew and enclosed trucks, with full packing and an assembly guarantee.

We start with a survey to determine the volume of furniture and the equipment needed, then pack each item according to its type and load it into an enclosed vehicle. On arrival we reassemble everything where you want it and remove the cartons and packing waste before we leave.

  • 👷Trained crew
  • 📦Full packing
  • 🚛Enclosed trucks
  • 🔧Assembly guarantee

🏠 We cover apartments, floors, villas and offices — within the city and between cities.

Packing, disassembly & reassembly — Al Basma Express 📦 Service 2

Packing, disassembly & reassembly

Professional packing with quality materials, and disassembly and reassembly by certified technicians who label every part so reassembly is precise.

We use thick blankets, stretch film and reinforced cartons for fragile items, and number the parts of each piece during disassembly with matching labels. That numbering is what makes reassembly accurate and fast and prevents lost screws.

  • 🧻Quality materials
  • 🧑‍🔧Certified technicians
  • 🔢Numbered parts
  • 🪛Reassembly

🏷️ Parts are numbered during disassembly — no guesswork at reassembly.

Sea freight — Al Basma Express 🚢 Service 3

Sea freight

Full containers (FCL) or shared shipping (LCL) to Gulf and worldwide ports, with customs clearance and end-to-end shipment follow-up.

We advise you between a full container if your shipment is large, or shared shipping where you share a container with other shipments and pay only for your volume. We handle the documents and clearance at both the departure and arrival ports.

  • 🗃️Full containers
  • 🧩Shared shipping (LCL)
  • 🛃Customs clearance
  • 🛡️Comprehensive insurance

💰 The most cost-effective option for full household moves and large shipments.

Air freight — Al Basma Express ✈️ Service 4

Air freight

The fastest option for urgent and sensitive shipments, with documents prepared in advance and real-time tracking until delivery.

The right choice when time matters more than cost: urgent shipments, small high-value items and official documents. We prepare the air waybill and paperwork in advance so your shipment isn't held up at the airport.

  • Fast delivery
  • 🚨Urgent shipments
  • 📄Documents ready
  • 📍Real-time tracking

⏱️ Best when time matters more than cost.

Land freight — Al Basma Express 🛣️ Service 5

Regular land freight to the UAE, the GCC and Arab countries reachable by road, in enclosed trailers with all border formalities handled.

The UAE route is our most regular, with fixed weekly departures, and we also ship to the rest of the GCC and to Arab countries reachable by road, depending on the destination and available route. Enclosed trailers and a modern fleet — we handle the documents and border formalities and give you a realistic transit estimate, not optimistic promises.

FAQ

Questions our customers ask before booking

If you can't find your question here, message us on WhatsApp and we'll answer clearly, without exaggeration.

How do I get a furniture moving price?

Send us the number of rooms, property type and floor at both locations through the quote form or WhatsApp. For moves within the city we offer a free survey before fixing the price, and since you'll receive a written quote, the price won't change after agreement.

Is packing included in the price?

Yes, in the full package: blankets, stretch film, cartons and tape for fragile items. If you'd rather pack your furniture yourself, we offer a moving-only package at a lower price and show you the difference in the quote.

Do you dismantle and reassemble furniture?

Yes, with specialist technicians, not general laborers. We number parts during disassembly to guarantee reassembly in the same order, and we provide an assembly guarantee.

How long does shipping to the UAE take?

Transit time varies with the method, pickup and delivery points and customs procedures. We give you a written estimate in the quote and update you immediately if there's a delay at the port or border.

What documents are needed to ship a car?

A valid registration, a driving license or ID, a clearance letter from the finance company if the car is financed, and a power of attorney if the owner isn't present. We guide you step by step and handle the release and clearance formalities.

Can items be left inside a car when it's shipped?

No. Port regulations and shipping lines prohibit carrying personal belongings inside the vehicle, and doing so can delay the shipment or incur a fine. We ship your belongings separately as part of our sea freight service.

Do you offer temporary storage?

Yes — climate-controlled warehouses and private monitored units, with contracts starting from one month. Useful if handover of your new home is delayed or you're traveling.

How do I track my shipment?

Send us your shipment number or invoice number from the shipment tracking page, and we'll update you on its current status and stage. You can also send the number directly on WhatsApp.
