Shipping Jalabiyas from Turkey to Syria, Jordan, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia: Cost and Time

What matters when shipping jalabiyas and kaftans

Jalabiyas are usually light and charged on actual weight, while pieces embroidered with beads and stones are heavier; ask for them to be folded tightly without boxes or hangers, and combine orders from several stores in one parcel to spread shipping cost.

Size, length and fabric

Read the size chart and length in centimetres on the product page, since length differs between stores, and choose fabric suited to the heat such as cotton and viscose. Ask for size and embroidery to be checked at the warehouse before closing, and a photo if the piece is for an occasion.

Home jalabiya and outing jalabiya

The jalabiya comes in two kinds: a comfortable home one in cotton or viscose, and an outing one in crepe or georgette with a straight cut and wide sleeves. State in the order whether you need it for Ramadan and home or for visits, because thick fabric does not suit Gulf summers.

Length and sleeve

Check the total length in centimetres against your height, since a long jalabiya drags on the floor if it is more than needed, and see whether the sleeve is narrow at the wrist or wide. Jalabiyas with side pockets are practical at home, and creased fabrics need ironing after the parcel arrives.

Ramadan and Eid parcels

Jalabiya orders rise before Ramadan and Eid and shipping takes longer in the season, so order well ahead. Putting the family’s jalabiyas in one parcel saves shipping, with the size written on each piece to avoid mix-ups when handing them out.
