How to receive parcels in Riyadh?

Hi,

Do you know what's the postal code in Riyadh? how to receive a package? At UPS, FEDEX? or at home?

thanks

If someone sent to you something through UPS or FEDEX, he/she should specify your location/home or nearest office that you can visit and collect your package from.

at least he should leave your calling number so they can call you to collect your package as it arrives.

Postal code in Riyadh?  That's like asking whats the zip code in Boston or Toronto.  Postal/zip code is not fixed for a whole city, rather, cities are broken up into several pieces and a code is assigned to each piece.

If you use your employer's mailing address, they have their own zip code.  If you use your compound's mailing address, they have their own.  You will need to ask the respective place.

As for where to receive a package, depends how it was shipped.  If you are expecting to receive a package sent by courier, make sure the sender puts your home street address (NOT P.O.Box address) AND cell phone number on the package.  Once it arrives, the courier company will call you and confirm your address, and also give you the option to receive it at your work place, or even for you to pick it up from their office.

If someone is sending you something via regular mail, they would need to put your work place's (or your spouse's, whoever is working) mailing address on the package, which will consist of your name, the company's name, P.O.Box number, and the postal code.

:P:/

once shipped from ur country, u will have the tracking #.

track it on the courier website,

it might be handed over to Saudi Post.
than u need to track it on
sp.com.sa/English/Eservices/Pages/TrackandTrace.aspx

and once it shows it is in the P.O Box, just go to the main office of Saudi Post in Batha an they will guide u to the office where it is at the moment

Hope this helps

That's the postal code for what?  That's the postal code for your workplace, not for the whole city.  Read my post.

time.chime, if a package is shipped by using a courier company, it shouldn't be handed over to Saudi Post.  Courier companies charged good money because they deliver personally and to your door in a short amount of time, not so they can hand the package over to the local postal system.
