What does a logistics company in Dubai do?
A logistics company moves goods for a business and looks after them on the way. That covers the freight, the customs papers, the storage and the last delivery.
In Dubai most of that work runs through three gateways. Sea cargo uses Jebel Ali Port. Air cargo uses Dubai International (DXB) and Al Maktoum International (DWC).
Gxpress does all four jobs with its own Dubai team, so one file follows your cargo from the supplier to your door.
Logistics company, freight forwarder or courier: which do you need?
The three overlap, and many importers use the words loosely. The table shows what each one usually handles.
How do you choose a logistics company in Dubai?
Ask each company the same questions and compare the answers in writing.
- Who files the customs declaration for my cargo?
- Do you have your own office in the country I buy from?
- Does the quote list every charge, and what is left out?
- Have you cleared goods for a company of my type, free zone or mainland?
- Who is my one contact from booking to delivery?
Which businesses use Gxpress in Dubai?
Most of our customers are trading companies that import for the UAE market, and free zone distributors that hold stock for the GCC and Africa.
We also move stock for marketplace sellers and bring in raw materials and parts for manufacturers.
Does a logistics company take small shipments?
Yes. Gxpress was founded in 2016 for the exporters and importers the big carriers overlooked.
A small load travels by sea in a shared container, called LCL, or by air. You pay for the space or the weight you use.
What do we need to quote?
Send these five details and we reply within one business day.
- Origin and destination
- What the goods are, with the HS code if you have it
- Weight and dimensions, or the number of containers
- The trade term on your order
- The date the goods will be ready
