The Good Stuff
Jumbo Boxes
Jumbo Box shipments are used for household goods and can be delivered directly to the recipient’s home.
Customs Help
A Mangalore customer reported smooth customs clearance at Kochi and home delivery the following day.
Storage Option
One customer stored appliances and furniture for more than a year, later receiving them at home in good condition.
Air Speed
One reviewer received all air cargo within 10 days, while noting that sea cargo was slower.
Reasonable Rates
Customers describe the rates as affordable or reasonable, including after comparing multiple cargo companies.
Tips for a Better Visit
Get It Written. Have the agreed price and all possible charges written into the invoice; one customer reported an unexpected price change at payment.
Protect Crockery. Ask for proper bubble wrapping and careful box packing for crockery; a reviewer was told bubble wrap was unnecessary before extensive breakage.
Allow Buffer. Build extra time into a sea-cargo plan rather than relying on the shortest estimate; one shipment took 75 days.
Confirm Customs. Ask in advance whether you must attend port customs clearance, as one customer said this was required for a West Bengal shipment.
Track Updates. Request regular status updates and tracking details instead of waiting for news; some customers reported having to chase the company.

The Bottom Line
Dunes Cargo & Shipping in Al Qusais is a shipping and relocation service for household moves and personal cargo. Customers use it for door-to-door delivery, Jumbo Box shipments, sea or air cargo, and storage; reviews especially describe shipments between Dubai and Indian destinations such as Kerala, Bangalore and Mangalore. The business is worth considering when careful paperwork, collection and delivery coordination matter.
The stronger experiences are quite specific. One Mangalore shipment took about 40 days, cleared customs at Kochi smoothly and reached the apartment the next day. Another customer stored appliances and furniture for more than a year, then received them at home in good shape even without being in Dubai.
Several reviews also report on-time arrivals, reasonable rates and intact household goods. There is a real caveat around packing and timelines. Some customers received fragile items safely, but others reported extensive ceramic breakage, damaged boxes, missing items or delays stretching to 75 or even 100 days.
Communication was also inconsistent: some reviewers praised tracking and updates, while others had to chase status information. Before booking, get the full quote, customs responsibilities, delivery estimate and any possible storage, detention or unloading fees in writing. Ask exactly how crockery and glassware will be protected; one reviewer recommended adding personal bubble wrap.
If you choose sea cargo, allow more time than an air shipment, which one customer received within 10 days.
