Emirates Delivers, the e-commerce delivery platform of Emirates SkyCargo, has launched in Kuwait, promising to deliver items purchased from the UK and the U.S. in just 3 to 5 working days.
The firm, which already provides a door-to-door transport solution in the UAE, said that customers are given a unique shipping address in both the UK and the US upon completion of the free online registration. This allows users to immediately start shopping online using the unique address during check-out.
When the items arrive at the Emirates Delivers UK or US facility, specialist agents review all items, with photos, to check they have arrived undamaged before repacking for international delivery. With free storage of up to 30 days, Emirates Delivers said it also allows customers to combine items from different retailers and vendors and consolidate their purchases into one package to further reduce shipping costs.
The deliver company initally launched in 2019, bringing US shopping to the UAE, before adding the UK to the service in 2022.

Nabil Sultan, Divisional Senior Vice President, Emirates SkyCargo, said: “Building on the success that Emirates Delivers has established in the UAE, we are excited to achieve the next step in our broader e-commerce strategy by expanding to Kuwait. While the global e-commerce market continues to flourish, recent years have shown a clear uptick in markets which were not previously offered the same access and options, such as Kuwait and the wider Middle East.”
Using the “My Suite” option on the Emirates Delivers website, customers can confirm shipping to Kuwait, with full tracking visibility from the time the items are received at the facility, through to delivery of the package at their door. Emirates Delivers takes care of all customs clearance activities before delivering the parcel directly to the customer, the company said.
Sultan added: “Now, more customers are searching for a reliable and trusted partner, not just to make the initial purchase from, but to handle the transportation of purchases. Leveraging Emirates’ global network, the frequency of flights, our wide body capacity, and the trust and longstanding relationships we’ve built with consumers in market, Emirates Delivers is well placed to answer this need.”
