Ordering to the UAE: Duties, Delivery and Sizing

Quick answer: Ordering Pakistani wear to the UAE (Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and beyond) is straightforward with AÏNN London. We ship duties-included (DDP), so there are no surprise charges on delivery, and delivery is free on orders over £500 (smaller orders are charged transparently, with duties still included). Outfits are made to your measurements, and we send a video of your finished outfit before dispatch. Order early — in-stock ships in about 10–12 days, made-to-order in 4–6 weeks, heavy bridal in 3–4 months.

The UAE is home to a large, style-conscious South Asian community, and Pakistani wedding wear is in constant demand for weddings, Eid and events. Here's how ordering to the UAE works.

Duties and charges

We ship to the UAE on a duties-included (DDP) basis, which is designed so there's no surprise customs bill when your parcel arrives — the landed cost is handled up front. Because rules and thresholds can vary and change, if you'd like clarity on your specific order just ask us before you buy and we'll talk you through it. (See avoiding a surprise customs bill and our customs & duties guide.)

Delivery to the UAE

  • Free delivery on orders over £500; smaller orders are charged transparently at checkout, with duties still included.
  • Tracked shipping to Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and across the Emirates.
  • Timing: making time is the main factor — in-stock ~10–12 days, made-to-order ~4–6 weeks, heavy bridal ~3–4 months — plus a few days to about a week in transit. (See delivery times to your country.)

Sizing from the UAE

You don't need to be in the UK for a perfect fit. Every outfit is made to your measurements, and we include a 3–5 inch alteration margin so a local tailor can perfect it. (See how to take your measurements and UK sizes vs made-to-measure.)

The video-before-dispatch promise

Ordering from afar can feel uncertain — so we remove the guesswork. We film your finished outfit and you approve it on video before we ship, so you know exactly what's arriving. (See why we film your outfit and bridging the distance.)

Choosing your colour

Pick your exact shade from a 900+ hand-dyed colour library and confirm it on video — no guessing from a screen. (See why your screen lies about colour.)

A quick UAE ordering checklist

  • Order early for your event date.
  • Take measurements carefully (or ask us for guidance).
  • Choose your colour from the library.
  • Approve your outfit on video before dispatch.
  • Allow time for local alterations after arrival.
