Riyadh - Sharikat Mubasher: Shipa Delivery, the Middle East-based local and cross-border delivery services arm of Agility, announced adding a Jeddah e-commerce gateway to its two existing gateways in Riyadh and Dammam, in a move to reduce delivery times for both inbound and outbound shipments.

The new gateway will open in January and is expected to cut 12 to 24 hours from delivery times, offering increased capacity during peak periods and reducing emissions for deliveries to the Kingdom’s Red Sea corridor and western portions of the Kingdom, the company announced in a press release.

Jeddah gateway will further expand global merchants’ access to the Saudi market and enhance customer experience with quicker deliveries.

Borhene Mena, CEO of Shipa Delivery, said: “The Jeddah gateway will make our e-commerce clients more competitive by shortening delivery times. It allows us to expand our capacity in the Kingdom by up to 15%, relieving constraints that arise during peak periods, and it allows us to introduce more routes to more delivery destinations within Saudi Arabia.”

Shipa Delivery is a leader in on-demand, first-mile, and last-mile deliveries with more than 18 hubs and over 500 delivery vehicles operating in the Kingdom.
