Al Mellah International Shipping (0580402747) is a shipping company from Qassim to Kuwait taking the shortest road from central Saudi Arabia to Kuwait: from Buraidah, Unaizah, Al Rass and Al Bukayriyah via Hafr Al-Batin to the Al Ruqi → Al Salmi crossing, then Al Jahra, the Capital, Hawalli and Farwaniya in 2 to 4 days. We move cars, furniture, fodder, dates, vegetables and parcels, with prices from SAR 210 per parcel, SAR 1,750 for a room of furniture, SAR 2,100 for a flat and SAR 1,900 for a car.
Qassim is the central region closest to Kuwait; the road from Buraidah heads east to Hafr Al-Batin and then the Al Ruqi crossing without passing through Riyadh, and the first place shipments reach in Kuwait is Al Jahra. This short road serves two kinds of shipping: home and car moves for families, employees and students, and food and farm freight — Kuwait imports fodder for livestock pens in Kabd and Al Jahra, and its markets want Qassim’s Sukkari dates and vegetables.
🚗 Shipping your car from Qassim to Kuwait
We ship the car as an export on a carrier via Hafr Al-Batin, reaching Al Salmi in two to three days; it’s then cleared in the receiver’s name and registered with the General Traffic Department after technical inspection.

🛣️ From Buraidah to Al Ruqi via Hafr Al-Batin
| Stage | Timing |
|---|---|
| Loading in Buraidah or Unaizah and filing the declaration on Fasah | Day one |
| Qassim → Hafr Al-Batin | Day one |

| The Capital, Hawalli, Farwaniya and Al Ahmadi | Day three or four |
There’s no practical sea option from Qassim; an FCL container from Dammam to Shuwaikh only makes sense for huge commercial quantities, and sea LCL consolidation doesn’t suit household goods.
🌾 Fodder and food from Qassim to Kuwait
Livestock and camel pens in Kabd, Al Jahra and Sulaibiya need fodder constantly, and Qassim is one of the largest producers of alfalfa, barley and wheat. We also ship Sukkari dates, seasonal vegetables and dairy to Kuwaiti markets. With the short road, fresh products arrive within two days — provided their documents are ready before reaching the border.
