Currently, we ship mainly to Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. However, if you are based in any other country apart from Saudi Arabia please contact us with your details. We will get back to you with further information!

We follow the international standard to determine the Billable Weight of a shipment. All international shipping carriers base their shipping rates on the Billable Weight, which is the greater of Actual Weight or Dimensional Weight.

Actual Weight is the weight of the package when put on a scale. Dimensional Weight is based on the size of the package. Large items that have a small Actual Weight, like pillows and lamp shades, will have a larger Dimensional Weight.

Volumetric weight is calculated by multiplying the length x height x width of a package and dividing the result by a volumetric factor.

That factor varies with the unit of measure. Since we use kilograms to calculate shipping charges, we use the following formulas to calculate volumetric weight:
L (cm) x H (cm) x W (cm)
5000

For up-to-date information on how Dimensional Weight is calculated by the shipping carrier, please visit the DHL website.

We may repack your item in two situations:

• If the shipment is inadequately packed (either damaged or insufficient for international transportation), we will repack it for you for added protection and security.

• If the package has a high volumetric weight, we repack it into smaller padded envelopes to reduce their volume, therefore; lowering the shipping charges. Experience tells us that shipments repacked save over 20% in volume, which represents a saving to you of between SAR 40 to SAR 60, on average.

Note: We do not merge two or more shipments into one. We do not repack all goods.

Conditions

• We do not open any inner sealed or shrink-wrapped packaging.

• We do not repack merchants' specialised branded packaging such as "designer" boxes or wrapping for shoes, boots, clothing and fashion accessories.

• If an item is gift-wrapped, we will not repack it.

• We highly recommend not ordering fragile or special care items. However if you need to ship fragile or special care items, please ensure proper packaging by the merchant.

• We do not repack fragile or breakable items.

• We do not repack goods such as:

• Large electronic goods (laptops, notebooks, kindles, etc.)

• Computer components/parts

• Computer accessories (mouse, keyboard, etc.)

• Any other parts or accessories such as headphones

• Auto-parts and car parts

• Shoes

• We are unable to reduce the size of shoe boxes due to the risk of damages that may be caused in transit.

Consolidation is the process of combining multiple items into one order so all your packages will be delivered together but in their original packages. Lets say you buy the latest smartphone and a couple of T-shirts. The Teleporters will put the original boxes together to be treated as a single shipment, so you will receive the multiple packages in one shipment.

Note: Consolidation does not involve repacking multiple packages into one box.

Due to the handling cost associated with Express Services (which includes courier pickup, customs clearance and courier delivery), the first half kilo is usually the most costly for international shipments.

When packages are shipped separately, each package will bear the burden of a minimum charge for the first half kilo.

In the example below, 5 packages are shipped separately to the same address. Each one weighs 1 kg.

Package 1 = SAR 70 - 1kg

Package 2 = SAR 70 - 1kg

Package 3 = SAR 70 - 1kg

Package 4 = SAR 70 - 1kg

Package 5 = SAR 70 - 1kg

Total Cost SAR 350 - 5kg

As an alternative, when shipments are consolidated, multiple packages are shipped together in one single order to the same address.

The shipment minimum (which is the 1st half kilo) is satisfied with the first package, eliminating the minimum charge for each.

When the same 5 packages are shipped through consolidation, you will save a significant amount in the shipping cost…

Package 1 = SAR 70 - 1kg

Package 2 = SAR 15 - 1kg

Package 3 = SAR 15 - 1kg

Package 4 = SAR 15 - 1kg

Package 5 = SAR 15 - 1kg

Total Cost SAR 130 - 5kg

Savings SAR 220

Yes - your Suite number is your unique identifier and the primary means to identify you as a The Teleporters customer when your package arrives at our warehouse. The format given is the most common address format used by merchants. However, this can vary from merchant to merchant.

Your Suite Number is very important and you may have to enter it after your name or in address line 1 depending upon the merchant. Some merchants do not accept the hyphen (-) between the two numbers, in which case, please enter a space.

If a Suite number is not included on the delivery address, we may have difficulty identifying that it is your package and additional fees may apply.

If you are expecting a package and haven't received a notification from The Teleporters, please contact us. This will help expedite locating your package, especially if the merchant didn't include the correct Suite number on the address label.
