Delivery within Dubai is free. Outside Dubai, every other emirate carries a delivery fee, and that fee is set by distance from Antarria's Al Quoz warehouse rather than by the item itself, with Sharjah sitting lowest and the emirates furthest away, Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah, Abu Dhabi, Al Ain and Fujairah, charged at the same higher flat rate.

Because delivery pricing can change, the exact current fee for a given emirate is always confirmed on Antarria's own shipping page rather than fixed here.

How the Fee Is Actually Set

The structure is simple once the logic behind it is clear. Every order ships from Antarria's warehouse in Al Quoz, so a delivery within Dubai covers the shortest distance and carries no cost. Once a delivery crosses into another emirate, distance from that same warehouse becomes the deciding factor. Sharjah, the closest emirate to Dubai, sits at the lowest fee outside the city.

Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah, Abu Dhabi, Al Ain and Fujairah are further out, and all five are charged at the same higher flat rate, since the added distance and logistics apply roughly equally across them.

How Long Delivery Actually Takes

Standard delivery runs three to five weeks from the order being placed, covering the time a piece takes to be finished and prepared before it ships, not the delivery leg on its own. That window can shift with current production workload, and public holidays aren't counted inside it, so a live estimate from the team is worth asking for on anything time-sensitive, particularly a larger piece or a custom-sized order.

Delivery Across All Seven Emirates

Antarria delivers across all seven emirates of the UAE, not just Dubai and its immediate surroundings. The free-versus-flat-rate structure only changes what a delivery costs, not how it's scheduled: an order going to Sharjah or further out follows the same production and dispatch process as one staying within Dubai, so the standard delivery window applies regardless of which emirate a piece is heading to.

What does shift outside Dubai is coordination. Deliveries crossing into another emirate are still arranged around a confirmed morning or afternoon slot, but confirming the exact address, building access and any local delivery restrictions upfront matters more the further the drop-off point is from the Al Quoz warehouse, since resolving an access issue outside Dubai takes longer to fix than the same problem would within the city.

For a large order, several pieces going to the same address, or a delivery spanning more than one emirate at once, it's worth flagging that to the team when placing the order rather than after, so the logistics can be planned as a single coordinated delivery instead of separate trips. This is particularly relevant for furniture destined for a second home or a family member's address outside Dubai, where nobody may be on-site to confirm access details the way a buyer ordering for their own home in Dubai typically can be. Whichever emirate a piece is heading to, the same rule applies: measure the full delivery route, not just the final room, before the order is confirmed.

Access Is Worth Confirming Before You Order

Antarria states plainly that fit is the customer's responsibility, not something checked after delivery. Service elevators, stairwells, doorways and any other entrance along the route a piece has to travel should be measured against the item's real dimensions before an order is placed.

A piece that doesn't clear one of these points on delivery day isn't covered by a return or refund, which makes this the one step worth taking seriously ahead of time rather than discovering it on arrival.

What Happens on Delivery Day

Delivery arrives in a confirmed morning or afternoon slot rather than an open window, arranged with the team in advance, and someone needs to be present to sign for the order on arrival. If a scheduled date no longer works, getting in touch before the slot rather than after a missed delivery keeps things moving without an extra delay added on top of the standard timeline.

FAQs

1. Is delivery really free within Dubai?

Yes, Antarria offers free shipping for all orders delivered within Dubai. A fee only applies once delivery crosses into another emirate.

2. Which emirate has the cheapest delivery fee outside Dubai?

Sharjah, since it sits closest to the Al Quoz warehouse. Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah, Abu Dhabi, Al Ain and Fujairah are all charged at the same higher flat rate, reflecting the greater distance to each. Current fee amounts are confirmed on the shipping page.

3. What happens if furniture doesn't fit through my doorway?

Antarria treats this as the customer's responsibility to check in advance, using real measurements against the delivery route, not just the final room. Contact the team before ordering if there's any doubt about access.
