How the two brands differ
Zara Home focuses on home textiles and decor: bed linen, towels, curtains, tableware and candles, in a coordinated style. Tchibo is a store showing varied practical household items next to clothing and everyday tools. If you care about the look of a whole room, take the first; if you are collecting scattered needs, the second suits better.
How to protect fragile items in the parcel
Separating glass and ceramics from linen in packing matters more than saving volume: ask for protective padding and a suitable box for fragile pieces, and photograph the items before the box is closed. Check bedding and curtain dimensions in centimeters before ordering, since a wrong size is hard to replace after the parcel arrives.
What is specific to buying for Oman
The Oman route runs by air to Muscat, then by road to Sohar, Salalah, Nizwa and other wilayats. The road leg from Muscat is long, so isolate glass and ceramics in a box with extra padding and photograph them before it is closed, and place linen and curtains in a bag that protects them from humidity. Keep each order invoice and check with Oman Customs.
How orders ship and arrive
The Oman route runs by air to Muscat, then by road to Sohar, Salalah, Nizwa and other wilayats. Internal distances are long, so parcels get extra packing for the longer trip. Write your Oman address with governorate, wilayat, neighborhood and a nearby landmark, plus the recipient name and an active phone number. Keep the seller invoices. Import and clearance requirements are set by Oman Customs.
What is specific to buying for Saudi Arabia
Orders ship to Saudi Arabia by air from Istanbul, charged on the greater of actual and dimensional weight, with home delivery to Riyadh, Jeddah and Dammam. Bed linen and curtains are often charged on dimensional weight, so compress linen as far as practical, keep glass away from it, and combine both orders in a single parcel instead of two.
How orders ship and arrive (Saudi Arabia)
Shipping to Saudi Arabia runs by air on regular flights from Istanbul: the order reaches the warehouse, is checked and packed, then leaves on the next scheduled shipment, with home delivery in Riyadh, Jeddah and Dammam. Enter the recipient name, mobile number and city exactly, and have your national address ready if the carrier asks for it. Keep the seller invoices. ZATCA publishes the import, clearance and product-specific requirements that apply.
What is specific to buying for Syria
The parcel to Syria is priced by governorate and carton size: a medium carton (60×40×40 cm up to 15 kg) is $15 to the north, $17 to the center and $20 to the south, and a large carton (80×50×50 cm up to 30 kg) is $20, $23 and $25, in MarkaShip’s reference table excluding customs. Linen and curtains take more volume than weight, so a carton fills by volume before weight; ask which carton is cheaper for your order, and keep glass in its own box.
How orders ship and arrive (Syria)
Shipping to Syria runs by land through Turkish border crossings, and MarkaShip publishes reference rates in USD excluding customs: a medium carton (60×40×40 cm up to 15 kg) is $15 to the north (Idlib, Aleppo), $17 to the center (Homs, Hama) and $20 to the south (Damascus); a large carton (80×50×50 cm up to 30 kg) is $20, $23 and $25. Rates are confirmed per shipment. Write your Syria address with city, area and a nearby landmark, plus the recipient name and an active phone number. Keep the seller invoices. Published rates exclude customs, so current import and carrier rules for the actual goods still apply.
What is specific to buying for Kuwait
The Kuwait route runs by air from Istanbul with frequent departures, and home delivery covers Kuwait City, Hawalli, Farwaniya and Jahra. Linen and curtains take more volume than weight, so when the parcel is measured ask which pricing basis is cheaper for its size, keep glass and ceramics in a separate padded box and photograph them before it is closed. Kuwait’s General Administration of Customs sets the current rules for the goods, so keep the invoices.
How orders ship and arrive (Kuwait)
The Kuwait route runs by air from Istanbul with frequent departures, then the parcel goes to home delivery across the governorates, including Kuwait City, Hawalli, Farwaniya and Jahra. Cost is fixed after the packed parcel is measured, on the greater of actual and dimensional weight. Write your Kuwait address with governorate, area, block, street and house or building number, plus the recipient name and an active phone number. Keep the seller invoices. Current rules for the actual goods are set by Kuwait’s General Administration of Customs.
What is specific to buying for the UAE
The UAE route runs by air from Istanbul to Dubai and Abu Dhabi, with home delivery across the seven emirates. Many homes in the UAE are in towers, so write the building and apartment number exactly, and keep the invoice for fragile pieces so you can check them on receipt.
How orders ship and arrive (the UAE)
The UAE route runs by air from Istanbul to Dubai or Abu Dhabi on the next schedule after the order is consolidated in the warehouse, and home delivery covers all seven emirates. Write your address with emirate, city, area, building name and apartment number, plus your Makani number in Dubai if you know it, the recipient name and an active phone. Keep the seller invoices. Each emirate has its own customs authority, so the authority at the entry point applies, such as Dubai Customs.
What is specific to buying for Qatar
Qatar is served by air from Istanbul with clearance at Hamad airport, then delivery in Doha, Al Wakrah, Al Rayyan and Al Khor. Most personal parcels to Qatar are mid-sized, so combine linen and tableware in one box with the fragile pieces padded apart, photograph them before closing, and check Qatar’s General Authority of Customs for the actual goods and keep the invoice.
How orders ship and arrive (Qatar)
Qatar is served by air from Istanbul with clearance at Hamad airport, then delivery in Doha, Al Wakrah, Al Rayyan and Al Khor.

What is specific to buying for Bahrain
Bahrain is served by air via Istanbul, and home delivery reaches Manama, Muharraq, Riffa and Isa Town after the shipment lands. Linen and curtains take more volume than weight, so when the parcel is measured ask which pricing basis is cheaper for its size, keep glass and ceramics in a separate padded box and photograph them before it is closed. Check the customs services on Bahrain’s national portal for the actual goods.
How orders ship and arrive (Bahrain)
Bahrain is served by air via Istanbul, and home delivery reaches Manama, Muharraq, Riffa and Isa Town shortly after the shipment lands, since distances inside the kingdom are short.

Any customs duties are paid through the customs affairs services on Bahrain’s national portal.
