Saudi Arabia applies prohibitions based on both customs law and Islamic law (Sharia):
🚫 Absolutely prohibited products:
🍝 Packaged foods: pasta, extra virgin olive oil, preserves and industrially packaged products are generally permitted, but must be halal certified or contain no prohibited ingredients. Always check the composition of the product.
🍷 Wine and spirits: absolutely forbidden in Saudi Arabia. Do not send any alcoholic products, even for personal use.
⚠️ Ramadan is the most impactful period for shipments: offices work reduced hours (often only in the mornings), customs operations slow down and delivery times can extend by 3-7 days even with express services. For urgent shipments during Ramadan, please plan at least three weeks in advance.
It also takes into account Italian public holidays (25 April, 1 May, 8 December), which may impact the withdrawal in Italy.

Mecca (مكة) - holy city: access for non-Muslims prohibited; shipments handled through local recipients

I left with very low expectations, but EXCELLENT RESULT! Ordered at 11am, by 2.30pm they were already picking up the parcel, delivered after not even 24 hours. Astonishing.
I am a student away from home and I always rely on them for parcels downstairs. Great service and helpful staff. Approved!!!

Easy to use service and very responsive team from start to finish. The package arrived 2 days earlier than expected and the cost was around 30% lower than what I was used to paying for the same service.
I am an American girl who has been living in Europe for 2 years. I have tried many sites, but as quality/price this one is always very good. I can always count on Convenient Shipping to get the gifts to my family in America.
I placed the order and after an hour the courier was already at my door to collect the parcel. Delivery time amply respected. I will definitely use the service again.
Positive experience: I got comprehensive answers in a short time. The communication reached both me as the sender and the recipient. Collection and delivery took place as indicated, good price. Congratulations.
