What recipient details are needed for Syria?

Full name, a phone that is answered, governorate, neighbourhood and a landmark, plus a backup person to receive.

Is the carton price the same across Syria?

No, the published table separates north, centre and Damascus: $15, $17 and $20 for the medium.

Is the large carton cheaper than two?

Yes by the published numbers, but it is heavier to carry and deliver, so choose by the recipient’s ability.

Family Parcel to Syria: Recipient and Zone Checklist

To send a parcel to family in Syria, prepare the recipient’s full name, a phone that is answered, and the governorate and neighbourhood. The published carton price depends on the zone: a medium carton is $15 to the north (Idlib, Aleppo), $17 to the centre (Homs, Hama) and $20 to Damascus, and a large one $20, $23 and $25, excluding customs. Pick the right zone before comparing prices.

Recipient details first

A parcel that reaches someone who does not answer the phone is delayed at delivery. Write the recipient’s name as on their ID, a number that is actually answered, the governorate, city and neighbourhood, and a nearby landmark if the address is unclear. Ask your family before ordering who receives if the named person is out. These three questions solve most delivery problems before they start.

The price follows the zone

The published Syria table has three zones: north (Idlib, Aleppo), centre (Homs, Hama) and the south (Damascus). A medium carton (60×40×40 cm, up to 15 kg) is $15 to the north, $17 to the centre and $20 to Damascus. A large one (80×50×50 cm, up to 30 kg) is $20, $23 and $25. If your family is in Homs, do not look at the Aleppo price, and do not assume one price for every governorate. Prices exclude customs.

What goes in the carton

Clothes, covers and shoes pack easily, while small electrical items need their original box and padding around them. When in doubt, leave out anything you do not know how customs treats, and read the Syria restricted-items page before adding a liquid, a medicine or a care product. Put a list of each carton’s contents on the first page of the order so it matches what arrives.

Two cartons or one heavy one

With thirty kilos, the large carton is cheaper than two medium ones to every zone: $25 against $40 to Damascus, and $20 against $30 to Aleppo. But a large carton is harder to carry and deliver to a home, so if the recipient is elderly choose the medium even at a higher cost. The warehouse offers 30 days of free storage if you want to complete the parcel with pieces that arrive later. Published rates are reference rates excluding customs, and are confirmed per shipment once the contents and destination are known.
