Household goods and car shipping from Qassim to Turkey means moving what cannot be replaced from your home: silverware and serving sets, curios and gifts, glass display cabinets, rugs, books and family photos. These belongings travel from Qassim to Jeddah port, then through the Suez Canal to southern Turkish ports at Iskenderun or Mersin, or on to Istanbul. What protects them on a long sea voyage is sorting and packing each category — not the container alone.

Qassim to Turkey in numbers
Household belongings: how we pack each category
| Category | Risk | Packing method |
|---|---|---|
| Silverware and serving sets | Scratches and tarnish | Acid-free paper, then sealed bags, then divided boxes |
| Curios and china | Breakage | Paper for each piece and padding between pieces in lined cases |

| Rugs | Moisture and moths | Cleaned, dried and rolled in a fabric cover |
| Books and family photos | Moisture and curling | Sealed bags inside small boxes |

The glass display cabinet
A display cabinet is one of the most delicate pieces: we empty it and pack its contents first, then remove the shelves and glass doors into a padded wooden crate and move the wooden frame wrapped on its own. At delivery we reassemble it and arrange its contents on request.
Furniture and the container
| Option | Approx. capacity | Suits |
|---|---|---|
| Part load | By cubic metre | Limited belongings and boxes |
| 20ft container | About 28 – 33 m³ | A small apartment or a car alone |
| 40ft container | About 58 – 67 m³ | A full home or furniture with a car |
We load the heaviest items at the back, sensitive belongings in upper rows away from pressure, strap every row, add moisture-absorbing sachets, then seal the container in front of you.
