Quick answer

What does door-to-door cargo mean?

Door-to-door cargo means the shipping company collects the goods at your address and delivers them to the consignee's address, handling every step in between: packing, export paperwork, air or sea freight, customs clearance at the destination and final delivery. Aeron Shipping offers door-to-door from anywhere in the UAE, with one point of contact and an itemised quote before anything moves.

About the service

Everything Between Your Door and Theirs, Looked After

Shipping internationally normally involves many separate parties: a trucker, an exporter's agent, an airline or shipping line, a customs broker and a delivery company. Door-to-door puts all of that under one team, so you have one phone number and one quote.

It suits households, small businesses who do not want to manage the chain themselves. We collect, pack if needed, prepare the UAE export documents, book the air or sea freight, coordinate import clearance and deliver to the address.

Note that door-to-door covers the service, not who pays the import duty. Duty and tax at the destination are normally paid by the importer, and we estimate them in advance so there are no surprises. This page explains how the service works, what it includes and what to prepare.

What door-to-door includes

Depending on your shipment, we can look after all of this.

  • Pickup anywhere in the UAE
  • Packing and crating, if you want it
  • UAE export documents
  • Air or sea freight booking
  • Import customs coordination
  • Delivery to the final address
  • Tracking and WhatsApp updates
  • Transit insurance, if you want it

The detail

Door-to-Door: What to Know Before You Book

Door-to-door does not mean the same price for every country. The cost depends on the weight or volume, the mode, the destination and the customs charges there. We give you an itemised quote with the freight, handling and extras listed separately.

Duty and tax at the destination are normally paid by the importer, and the rules vary by country. We check them for your goods before the cargo ships. See our country pages for the rules in each destination.

Who door-to-door suits

  • Households moving or sending belongings abroad
  • Small businesses
  • Anyone who wants one point of contact
  • Shippers who do not know the customs rules
