Are there Different Transport Methods to Ship from the UK to Dubai?

Some shipping companies to Dubai offer a one-size-fits-all plan, but our experts know that this doesn’t work! We provide a completely unique experience to every customer when shipping to Dubai from the UK, but we employ this policy across all of our services. We have three shipping methods to use when shipping stuff to Dubai; sea freight, air freight and road freight. Each method – or a combination of – is beneficial to different customer requirements. Sea Freight If you are looking for cheap shipping to Dubai, sea freight is your go-to option! Sea freight’s economic costs make it the most popular method of transport among our customers. Your items are arranged onto a shared or sole-use shipping container, which is loaded onto our cargo ship to Dubai for delivery. Sea freight is the slowest of our transport methods and you can expect your items to arrive within weeks for the UK to Dubai shipping. For example, the average delivery time for air freight is 7 to 10 days, in contrast to the estimated 6 to 8 weeks for sea freight, but this is reflected in the bargain cost of shipping to Dubai. Air Freight Air freight to Dubai is the most expensive of our transport methods; however, it is the quickest and sometimes the most convenient way to send goods to Dubai. We pack your possessions onto a commercial air carrier ready for take-off to your chosen airport in Dubai. Air freight is the best transportation to Dubai method if you need your items sending in a hurry as your consignment will reach you in a matter of days. This timeliness does come with a much higher price tag than shipping to Dubai using sea freight. Road Freight Road freight is our bonus method that cannot be used alone except for UK deliveries. Road freight is an accompaniment service for our sea and air freight deliveries. It is frequently used when a customer lives far away from our UK port or depots, or when customers require home delivery of their cargo in Dubai.

How do you calculate the Cost of Shipping to Dubai?

Our services for shipping items to Dubai are adjusted to suit your budget and time-frame, but there are three principal factors that will influence your overall shipping costs to Dubai from the UK; load size, transport method and end destination in Dubai. If you are looking for cheap shipping to Dubai, sea freight is the recommended method as shipping costs from the UK to Dubai are primarily estimated based on the dimensions of your load. By assessing your load via our online home survey, we can determine if you require LCL or FCL container shipping to Dubai. If you choose Less Container Load, your items are loaded onto a shared shipping container alongside other Anglo Pacific customers’ and you will only be charged for space your goods consume within this container. Alternatively, it might be more advantageous for you to use Full Container Load, this is the assignment of a 20ft or 40ft container for your sole use and you will be charged a set rate based on which size shipping container you use. This is advantageous for very large loads, such as office removals, a whole home load and car shipping to Dubai. If you send to Dubai using air freight, expect to pay considerably more for this service as the bulk of your Dubai shipping costs are calculated based on the WEIGHT of your items. With this being said, air freight is usually only used when a customer needs their items urgently and it is a small load, a box or two, or a suitcase, for example. Another contributing factor to the cost of shipping to Dubai is the distance that your goods are travelling and how they are delivered upon arrival in Dubai.
