- One free form, no obligation. You only hear from providers that match your request.
- We introduce you to 2–3 providers, so you can compare real quotes side by side.
- Covers freight, customs, 3PL, payments, company setup, certification, marketplace agencies and more.
- Providers may pay us a referral fee. That never changes who we recommend or what you pay.
Finding a good freight forwarder, 3PL or payment gateway in the Gulf usually means a dozen cold emails and weeks of waiting.
You can skip that: tell us what you sell and what you need, once.
We'll match you with 2–3 providers in Saudi Arabia or the UAE that fit your products, volume and budget. You compare their quotes and pick the one you like.
Request your free quotes
The form takes about two minutes, and a real person reads every request.
The more you tell us, the sharper the quotes. These four details make the biggest difference:
- What you sell. Cosmetics, electronics and food each need different licences, storage and certificates.
- Where the goods start. Shipping from Shenzhen is very different from shipping from Istanbul, or from inside Saudi Arabia.
- Your monthly volume. Fifty orders and five thousand get very different pricing, so a rough guess helps.
- Your timing. If you're aiming for Ramadan or White Friday, say so, because providers plan capacity around those peaks.
What we can help with
Almost everything a seller needs to launch and grow in the Gulf. These are the most requested:

Air and sea freight from China, Europe or the US into Saudi Arabia and the UAE.

Warehousing, pick and pack, COD and returns in Riyadh, Jeddah or Dubai.

Accept mada, Apple Pay, cards and BNPL on your store.

Commercial registration, free zone licences and bank accounts.

SABER and ECAS certificates, so your goods clear customs first time.

Account setup, Arabic listings and ads on the big marketplaces.
We also match customs brokers, VAT advisers, Arabic translators, photographers and influencer agencies. Need a Shopify store built or localised? That's our own work, covered in our services.
How it works
Four steps, and only the first one is work for you:
- 1
Tell us what you need
Pick a service, your target country and your monthly order volume. Add anything that helps, like your product category or launch date.
- 2
We match you by hand
We read every request and pick 2–3 providers that serve your country, category and size. No auction, no bulk blast.
- 3
Providers send quotes
The matched providers contact you directly with questions and a quote. You talk to them on your terms.
- 4
You compare and choose
Pick the best fit, or none. Tell us how it went, and we'll use it to improve future matches.

Why sellers use us
We're an independent guide to Gulf ecommerce, not a sales team for any one company.
That changes how we match you:
- Real Gulf operators. We look for providers with local operations in Saudi Arabia or the UAE and a track record with ecommerce sellers. See how we evaluate providers.
- A fit, not a bid. We match on what you sell, where you sell and how much you ship, so a small brand isn't pitched enterprise contracts.
- Open about money. Some providers pay us a referral fee, but it never affects your price or who we suggest. Read how we make money.
Ready? Then jump back to the form and send your request.
Prefer to shortlist companies yourself? Every category has its own page in the service provider directory.
Planning a full Gulf launch rather than a single service? Our GCC market entry support puts the whole plan together with you.
Frequently asked questions
Yes. You never pay MiddleEastEcom anything for a match. Some providers pay us a referral fee when they win work, which is how we keep the guides free.
