Before You Shop Nov. Sales: Your Saudi Shipping Checklist

November sales can make your wishlist a little more tempting. But before you buy from US, UK, or Turkish stores, a few simple checks can help you understand your shipping costs, prepare the right information, and know what to expect when your purchases arrive at MyUS.

Whether you’re shopping from Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, or elsewhere in the Kingdom, use this Saudi shipping checklist to plan your next order. From checking your delivery address to saving merchant invoices, here’s how to get ready before the sale begins.

1. Check Your MyUS and Saudi Delivery Addresses

Start by signing in to your MyUS account and checking both ends of your shipment’s journey.

When shopping directly from a US retailer, copy your MyUS shipping address exactly as it appears in your account, including your suite number. Save it in your retailer account so it’s ready at checkout.

Next, review your Saudi delivery address. Confirm that your recipient details, mobile number, and address information are accurate.

Make sure your Saudi address includes its valid National Address short address code. MyUS’s Saudi Arabia shipping alert states that this is required for incoming shipments from January 1, 2026. Update your account Address Book before submitting your next shipping request. 

If you’ve moved or changed phone numbers since your last shipment, now is a good time to update those details.

2. Review Packages Already in Your Suite

Before adding new purchases, check what is already waiting in your MyUS suite.

Look for:

• Packages you still need to review.
• Requests for purchase information or supporting documents.
• Packages you plan to ship together.
• Storage deadlines or charges that may affect your plans.
• Shipping preferences that may need updating.

If a package requires an action, open its details and follow the instructions shown in your account. Where an invoice upload is requested, provide the merchant invoice for that purchase.

An existing package issue is easier to plan around when you understand what is needed before ordering more items. If a request is unclear, use the help options in your account and include the relevant package or case number.

3. Confirm Your Items Can Ship to Saudi Arabia

A retailer accepting your order does not automatically mean the product is eligible for international shipping.

Check the exact item before buying, especially if it contains batteries, liquids, or ingredients that may require additional review. Product eligibility can depend on the destination, carrier, quantity, and the item’s specific characteristics.

Review the MyUS Country Alerts for Saudi Arabia and the shipping information on the MyUS Saudi Arabia page.

For an unfamiliar product, keep the retailer’s link and product specifications handy when requesting guidance. Checking first can help you avoid buying something you can't forward to your destination.

4. Save Your Merchant Invoices

Keep a digital copy of the merchant invoice for every order you place.

Your invoice should clearly identify the retailer, products, quantities, and actual prices paid. If you purchase from several stores, save each invoice separately so you can match it to the correct package.

During November sales, make sure your records reflect any discounts applied. Clear purchase information helps support accurate item values and any documentation requests.

A retailer’s tracking notification tells you where a package is; it may not provide all the purchase details needed for shipping. Save the invoice itself rather than relying only on a delivery email.

5. Estimate Your Full Shopping and Shipping Budget

A sale price is only one part of your total purchase cost.

Before checking out, account for:

Cost	What to Check
Merchandise	The final price after retailer discounts
Retailer delivery	Any charge to send the order to your MyUS address
International Shipping	An estimate based on the planned shipment
Additional Services	Any optional services you choose
Import costs	Applicable Saudi duties, taxes, and clearance charges

Use the MyUS shipping calculator to explore shipping estimates to Saudi Arabia before you buy. Use the product’s shipping weight where available, and provide dimensions when requested.

Treat the calculator result as a planning estimate. Review the charges and available options for your actual packages before submitting a shipment request.

Remember That Customs Duty and VAT Are Different

An exemption from customs duty does not necessarily mean a shipment is free from VAT.

ZATCA states that qualifying personal e-commerce purchases valued below SAR 1,000—including goods, shipping, and insurance—can be exempt from customs duty when no clearance permission is required. VAT can still apply, and the amount assessed depends on the applicable rules and customs calculation.

Consider these costs when deciding whether a November offer fits your budget.

6. Decide Whether to Combine Your US Purchases

Shopping at more than one US store? MyUS package consolidation lets you combine eligible purchases into one international shipment.

For example, you might order clothing from one retailer and home accessories from another. Once the packages arrive and are ready to ship, you can decide whether sending them together fits your budget and timeline.

Consolidation can help reduce shipping costs compared with sending purchases separately, but the result depends on the items and shipment. Consider:

• When each retailer expects to deliver.
• Your membership’s storage terms.
• Whether the products can travel together.
• Any packing needs.
• How the combined shipment’s value may affect import charges.

Only include purchases you actually want. The goal is to plan a shipment that fits your needs.

7. Compare Shipping Options Before Submitting Your Request

When your packages are ready, compare the services available for your shipment.

Review the estimated delivery time alongside the shipping price. A less urgent purchase may give you more flexibility to choose a lower-cost option, while a time-sensitive order may call for a different service.

Remember that your order’s journey includes several stages:

1. The retailer prepares and dispatches your purchase.
2. The package travels to MyUS.
3. MyUS receives and processes it.
4. Any required actions are completed.
5. MyUS prepares and dispatches your international shipment.
6. The shipment clears customs and continues to delivery.

A retailer’s delivery estimate covers its part of that journey. Allow time for the remaining stages when planning purchases for a particular occasion.

8. Choose the Shopping Method That Fits Your Order

You can shop directly from US retailers using your MyUS address. If you would prefer help purchasing an item, explore MyUS Buying Assistant.

Buying Assistant can help with purchases from US stores that do not accept international credit cards. Submit the product link and requested details, then review the order information, charges, and terms before checking out. 

You can also explore MyUS Shopping to browse and purchase from supported retailers.

Choose your shopping method before ordering so you understand how the purchase and shipping process will work.

9. Explore Your New MyUS Turkey Address

Your November shopping plans can now include Turkish stores. MyUS Turkey is available for deliveries to select countries, including Saudi Arabia, giving you more opportunities to discover Turkish fashion, textiles, and home goods.

Before ordering, sign in to your MyUS account and copy your Turkey shipping address exactly as shown. Check that your items are eligible for shipping and review the applicable costs before purchasing.

Shipments from Turkey currently ship via Aramex with immediate shipping only. Plan these purchases separately from US orders you intend to consolidate, and note that animal by-products cannot be shipped through this service.

Sign in to MyUS to find your Turkey address and start exploring Turkish stores.
