For travelers flying London to Dubai
London (Heathrow or Gatwick) to Dubai (DXB) is one of the busiest long-haul routes, with frequent flights used by British expats and visitors. Agree a public hand-off in Dubai Marina, JLT, Downtown or near the recipient before accepting.
On a $300 shopping request you are reimbursed $300 and earn a $60 reward — $360 in total. On shipments you keep 95% of the agreed price: $95 on $100. You are paid in USDC to your connected wallet when the recipient shares the 4-digit delivery code.
Stay safe: buy items new or inspect them before packing, never carry sealed packages from strangers, and carry nothing prohibited by the airline or customs.
For shippers sending to Dubai
British expats and their families send birthday gifts, clothes, documents and keepsakes between London and Dubai. Example: for an agreed price of $100 you pay $115 (+15%) and the traveler receives $95. Your payment is held in escrow and released only when the recipient shares the 4-digit delivery code.
Customs at Dubai
Entering the UAE, gifts and personal items up to AED 3,000 are exempt when they are non-commercial. The allowance belongs to the traveler who carries the item, applies to personal, non-commercial quantities and can change, so check the official rules and declare when required.
