Furniture Shipping from Saudi Arabia to Jordan 0560533140 | Full Home Moves and Car Shipping with Assembly

Saudi Express moves your home furniture from any city in Saudi Arabia to Jordan as a complete household move: a carpenter takes apart wardrobes and beds, a crew wraps, numbers and inventories every piece, a closed truck crosses at Al Haditha or Halat Ammar, and in Jordan we reassemble everything and place it room by room. Furniture usually arrives within 3 to 7 days of loading, furniture shipping starts from SAR 2,480 for a single bedroom, and you can book a survey by calling or messaging us on WhatsApp at 0560533140.

This guide is for anyone moving a home, or part of one, to Jordan: from survey day to the last screw in the children’s bed in the new house. If you are shipping commercial goods or parcels, the details are in our guide Shipping Company from Saudi Arabia to Jordan, which covers cargo, cars, air and sea freight.

Furniture Shipping Prices from Saudi Arabia to Jordan by Home Size

Shipping a single bedroom of furniture from Saudi Arabia to Jordan starts from SAR 2,480, a two-bedroom apartment from SAR 6,900, a three-bedroom apartment from SAR 11,180 and a medium villa from SAR 18,080. We price by cubic metre because furniture takes up more space than it weighs, and these prices include dismantling, packing, loading, transport and reassembly.

The table below shows the typical volume of each home type and its starting price:

Your actual volume may be above or below average: a home with a large Arabic majlis, a library and a wooden kitchen differs from one with the same number of rooms and simple furniture. So we ask for photos of each room or send a surveyor, then give you a clear figure before loading day that only changes if you add items that were not on the list.

How Do We Calculate Your Furniture Volume?

Volume is the sum of the pieces after dismantling and packing, not before; a dismantled wardrobe takes about half the space it does assembled. Take a two-bedroom apartment in Riyadh with a master bedroom and six-door wardrobe, a kids’ room with two beds and a wardrobe, a living room with a seven-seat sofa and table, an Arabic majlis, a dining table with six chairs, a fridge, washing machine, two AC units and about 40 cartons. Such an apartment usually comes to 18–22 cubic metres.

If you decide to sell the old majlis and table before leaving, the volume drops to about 14 cubic metres and the price moves closer to a master bedroom than a full apartment. That is why we go through the list with you piece by piece and suggest what is worth shipping and what is cheaper to buy in Jordan.

Prices for Single Items and Appliances to Jordan

If you are shipping specific pieces rather than a whole home, a four-door wardrobe starts from SAR 1,150, a master bed with mattress from SAR 965, a fridge or washing machine from SAR 550 and a standard carton from SAR 92. These items travel in groupage with other loads bound for Jordan, so a minimum invoice applies.

How Long Does Moving Furniture from Saudi Arabia to Jordan Take?

Moving furniture from Saudi Arabia to Jordan takes 3 to 7 days from loading to the end of reassembly, plus a day or two of preparation before loading for a large home. The table splits the journey into stages so you can plan your travel and housing:

The shortest trips are from Tabuk, Al Jouf and Madinah because they are closer to the borders, and the longest from Al-Ahsa, Dammam and Jazan. If you choose groupage, your furniture may wait two to four days for the truck to fill, which suits anyone not in a hurry.

Dedicated Truck or Groupage for Your Furniture?

A dedicated truck suits a full home and anyone with a fixed move-in date; groupage suits a single room, a few pieces and anyone not in a hurry. This table shows the difference in price, time and flexibility:

In groupage your furniture is wrapped and marked with a colour or label in your name before it is loaded with other shipments, and it is unloaded separately in Jordan. In both cases dismantling, packing and reassembly are the same, so a shared truck never means less care for your pieces.

What Does a Full Household Move to Jordan Include?

A full household move means you do not worry about a single piece: we dismantle, pack, inventory, load, transport, clear and reassemble while you follow along on your phone. The service consists of:

Dismantling by Carpenters and Reassembly in Jordan

Dismantling furniture for an international move is a carpenter’s job, not a loader’s, because a wardrobe taken apart in a hurry and rebuilt in Amman needs someone who knows the order of its panels and hinges. We send a carpenter with the packing crew who dismantles each piece and puts its screws and keys in a numbered bag taped to the piece itself, so nothing goes missing and nobody has to buy new fittings after arrival.

Pieces we usually dismantle: wardrobes of all sizes, beds and full bedroom sets, bunk beds, large dining tables, wall bookcases and TV units. Sofas and majlis seating are usually wrapped whole, unless their legs or arms can come off to reduce volume.

In Jordan the crew rebuilds the pieces in the rooms you choose, and anchors tall wardrobes to the wall on request for children’s safety. If the new home is smaller than the old one, we help you decide what to assemble now and what to keep flat for storage.

Packing Furniture for Jordan: The Right Method for Each Material

Correct packing depends on the material: wood gets blankets then stretch film, glass gets rigid board or wood, fabric and leather get foam then film, and appliances get their moving parts secured. The road to Jordan means long distances, vibration and inspection, so a single layer is never enough.

• Wood and wardrobes: a thick blanket to protect edges, stretch film to hold it, and board corner guards on protruding parts.
• Mirrors, glass and frames: rigid board on both sides with separators between pieces; large ones go in a wooden crate.
• Sofas and majlis: foam to absorb pressure, then film against dust and moisture, with legs covered.
• Leather furniture: soft cloth before film so plastic does not stick to leather in the heat.
• Dishes and glassware: paper around every piece, packed upright in dedicated cartons with filling to stop movement.
• Rugs: rolled after cleaning and wrapped in film, never folded so they keep no creases.

Every carton is marked with its number, room and a short note of contents, and a “fragile” label goes on anything that needs care. This cuts inspection time at the border, because the customs officer can match the list quickly, and it shortens unloading day in Jordan.

When Do You Need a Wooden Crate?

You need a wooden crate when an item is fragile and heavy at the same time, or valuable: tables with large marble or glass tops, mirrors over a metre long, antiques and crystal chandeliers, and some sensitive equipment. The crate is built to size, lined with foam and priced separately.

A crate is not needed for everything; most furniture is fine with multi-layer packing. But a chandelier that shatters at the first bump, or a marble top that cracks under another piece, costs far more than its crate. During the survey we tell you which pieces we recommend crating and why, and the decision is yours.

Shipping Air Conditioners, Kitchens and Appliances

A split AC is shipped to Jordan after a technician pumps the gas into the outdoor unit and caps the copper ends, with prices from SAR 460 for both units. A wooden kitchen is taken apart unit by unit and numbered by position, though refitting it in Jordan depends on the new walls’ measurements.

Empty and dry the fridge two days before, leaving the doors open to avoid odours, then the doors and shelves are secured. The washing machine drum is fixed with transit bolts if you have them, or with suitable padding. TVs travel in their original boxes if you kept them; otherwise we prepare a rigid carton with corner protection.

How Do We Arrange Your Furniture Inside the Truck?

Stowing the load is half of protecting the furniture; a well-wrapped piece can still be damaged in the wrong spot. We start at the back of the truck with heavy flat pieces such as wardrobe panels and bed bases, then large appliances upright and strapped, then sofas and majlis seating, then heavy cartons below and light ones above, and finally fragile items on top or between soft pieces.

Mirrors and glass travel upright, never flat, leaning against the truck wall or a wrapped wardrobe panel. We fill gaps with blankets or cartons so the load does not shift over bumps and braking on the long road. In groupage we separate your furniture with a divider or coloured tape, and the last loaded is the first unloaded according to the delivery order in Jordan.

Shipping Your Car with the Furniture to Jordan

You can ship your car in the same period as your furniture on a closed carrier, from SAR 2,300 for a small car, and you need Saudi export plates if it will be registered in Jordan. Remember that Jordan bans electric cars older than three years and any car classified as damaged in its country of origin.

Shipping the car with the furniture means the border follow-up happens once, and the car arrives close to the time your home does, so you are not left without a car for days. Do not put cartons or belongings inside the car; everything shipped must be on the furniture list. Full details on carnets and fees are in our guide Shipping from Saudi Arabia to Jordan.

Air Freight for Urgent Belongings to Jordan

If you have things you need in your first week in Jordan and cannot wait for the truck, air freight brings them to Amman in 2 to 4 days: school clothes, registration papers, a laptop, work tools or small toys. The price is based on actual or volumetric weight, whichever is higher.

Volumetric weight = length × width × height in centimetres ÷ 6,000. A large 75×50×30 cm bag therefore weighs about 19 kg volumetrically even if it is light. Keep air freight for small, relatively heavy and important items, and leave pillows, blankets and bulky soft things for the truck. Ask for the air freight price by phone or WhatsApp.

Customs Exemption for Used Furniture in Jordan

A Jordanian returning after at least one year of residence outside Jordan may apply for an exemption on used household furniture and personal effects, usually once, provided they submit a furniture list and proof of residence abroad and either attend in person or appoint a clearing agent.

These are the documents usually accepted as proof that residence abroad has ended; one of them is enough alongside the passport:

• A cancelled residence permit in the passport or a final-exit visa.
• An end-of-service or resignation letter from your employer in the Kingdom, or a work contract in Jordan.
• A notarised lease or title deed for a home in Jordan.
• Transfer certificates for your children from Saudi schools or their admission to Jordanian schools.

Someone who used the exemption and later moved abroad again can claim a new one five years after the first, and if only part of the goods was exempted, the rest must be claimed within six months of arrival. The stamp fee is nominal, while anything beyond the list, or new goods intended for trade, is dutiable. We help you prepare a clear list that matches the truck exactly.

Special Items: Safes, Pianos and Gym Equipment

Some pieces are not handled like ordinary furniture: a heavy steel safe, a piano, a treadmill and large gym machines, a fish tank and big chandeliers. These need special preparation, sometimes extra crew or lifting equipment, so tell us about them at the survey so we can price them accurately.

• Steel safe: emptied completely and fixed to a wooden base, placed over the truck’s axle so the load stays balanced.
• Piano: the key lid is locked and the sides wrapped in thick blankets; it travels upright on a dedicated dolly and needs tuning after arrival.
• Gym equipment: the treadmill is folded and its belt secured, and iron weights go into small sturdy boxes rather than ordinary cartons.
• Fish tank: emptied, dried and crated; the fish do not travel with the load.

Very heavy pieces affect weight distribution in the truck, and axle loads are checked on Saudi and Jordanian roads, so we never load a heavy item without knowing its approximate weight and the right place for it.

Questions to Ask Before Choosing a Furniture Mover to Jordan

Before signing with any mover to Jordan, ask about five things: exactly what the price includes, who dismantles and reassembles, whether the truck is dedicated or shared, who follows clearance at the border, and what happens if a piece arrives with a mark. Clear answers to these questions spare you arguments on delivery day.

1. Does the price include reassembly in Jordan or only delivery? Does it cover taking down and refitting AC units?
2. Is dismantling done by a carpenter or by loaders? Who covers missing screws?
3. When exactly does the truck leave, and will it wait for another load?
4. Will you help with the customs exemption list, and who stays with the shipment at the border?
5. Is there insurance, what does it cover, and how do I record a remark at delivery?

We answer these questions in writing in our quote before loading day, so you know what you are paying for and are not surprised by an item nobody mentioned.

Final Return to Jordan: Tasks Before You Travel

Anyone returning to Jordan for good needs to sort out paperwork in the Kingdom before shipping the furniture, because some of the same papers are requested for the customs exemption in Jordan. Here is a practical task list we usually arrange with customers two weeks before loading:

1. Issue the final-exit visa or set its date, and keep a copy with the shipping papers.
2. Request an end-of-service certificate from your employer, one of the strongest proofs that residence has ended.
3. Obtain and attest your children’s school transfer certificates; they help with registration and with the exemption file.
4. Pay any traffic fines and clear any lien on the car if it is being shipped, then request export plates.
5. Close the lease and the electricity, water and internet accounts after loading day, not before.
6. Prepare the final furniture list after selling and donating, and review it with us so it matches the load.

Handling these tasks alongside the shipping booking brings your arrival in Jordan close to your furniture’s, and shortens clearance because the exemption file is ready before the truck reaches Al Omari or Al Mudawwara.

What Cannot Be Shipped with Furniture to Jordan

Do not ship with furniture: gas cylinders, petrol and solvents, aerosols and paints, weapons and ammunition, cash, gold and jewellery, original official documents, opened food, plants and soil, or large quantities of medicine. Some are banned by law, and others are dangerous in a closed truck for days in the heat.

• Flammable materials can start a fire that destroys the whole load, so never ship them, even in small amounts.
• Food, oils and honey in opened containers leak and stain furniture; use them up or give them away before you leave.
• Jewellery, cash and original papers travel in your own bag because they cannot be replaced.
• Drones and wireless communication devices need prior permission before entering Jordan.

Storage Before Shipping and Furniture Insurance

If your home in Jordan is not ready when you leave your home in the Kingdom, we store the furniture packed and numbered in a closed warehouse and load it on the date you set. Storage is charged by cubic metre and duration, and suits anyone waiting for a new apartment or the end of renovation work.

Furniture insurance is an option we recommend for full homes and valuable pieces; it covers accident, fire and drop damage in transit as a percentage of declared value. We photograph the load before the truck is sealed, so the photos serve as a reference for both of us at delivery.

Loading Day: What to Prepare Before the Crew Arrives

Before the crew arrives, prepare a list of what is going and what is staying, empty the fridge and washing machine, pack personal items and documents in a separate bag, and leave the rest to the team. These steps shorten loading day by hours and reduce mistakes:

1. Clearly mark furniture that is not going (for sale or donation) so it is not loaded by mistake.
2. Unplug appliances a day ahead and dry the fridge and washing machine.
3. Gather important papers, gold, medicine and chargers in your travel bag.
4. Tell the building guard or compound management the loading time, and reserve the lift if possible.
5. Choose a spot near the door where sealed cartons can collect to speed up loading.
6. Review the final list with the crew leader and sign it before the truck is closed.

Delivery in Jordan and Reassembly

When the truck reaches your address in Jordan, the crew unloads the furniture and matches carton numbers to the list, puts each carton in its room, and rebuilds beds, wardrobes and tables. We deliver to Amman, Zarqa, Irbid, Salt, Madaba, Mafraq, Jerash, Ajloun, Karak, Ma’an and Aqaba.

If the shipment arrives before you, a relative or a person you authorise can receive it, and we send you photos of the unloading. If you notice anything on a piece, record it the same day with a photo so we can deal with it quickly. After reassembly we collect the bulky packing materials so the house is not left full of board and film.

Which Saudi Cities Do We Collect Furniture From?

We collect furniture from every city in the Kingdom: Riyadh, Jeddah, Makkah, Madinah, Dammam, Khobar, Al-Ahsa, Qassim, Hail, Tabuk, Al Jouf, Taif, Abha, Khamis Mushait, Jazan and Najran. Each major city has its own guide to its route and crossing:

• Furniture moving from Riyadh to Jordan, via Al Haditha.
• Shipping from Jeddah to Jordan, via Halat Ammar.
• Shipping from Al-Ahsa to Jordan, from the Eastern Province through the north.
• All Jordan services are gathered on our Shipping to Jordan page.

Common Mistakes That Cost Money When Moving Furniture to Jordan

The costliest mistakes are shipping old furniture that is not worth its transport cost, leaving the booking to the last week, and keeping items off the list. Here are other mistakes many people make:

• Packing items yourself with weak materials before handing them over, so they get damaged and insurance does not cover them.
• Leaving screws and keys unnumbered, which wastes hours at reassembly or loses parts.
• Shipping the fridge without drying it, so it arrives with a smell that is hard to remove.
• Not measuring the new home’s doors and lifts, so the large sofa or tall wardrobe does not fit.
• Forgetting to tell us about the floor and the lack of a lift in Jordan, which means extra crew on delivery day.
