UAE-based technology-first logistics provider, Shipa Delivery has opened its doors to Oman. In a media release, the company announced that it will be providing on-demand, same-day, and next-day deliveries to customers in Oman.
Apart from Oman, Ship Delivery is also looking to target other markets in the GCC, namely Kuwait, Bahrain, and Saudi Arabia. ‘As elsewhere in the Middle East region,’ stated the release, ‘demand is surging in Oman among enterprises and consumers for more reliable, convenient, and affordable deliveries of in-store and online purchases and parcels of all sizes from credit cards to furniture.’
This trend was foreseen by the company’s CEO, Borhene Ben Mena when he established the technology-driven, last-mile delivery operations out of Dubai, with funding and support from Agility, one of the region’s largest logistics providers.

“We designed the Shipa Delivery business specifically for the Middle East market,” said Ben Mena. “Our technology, customer service, and understanding of these markets are what set us apart. We make life simpler for businesses and consumers.”
With more than one million packages already delivered and an established reputation as the region’s most versatile, easy-to-use delivery provider, Shipa Delivery’s entry into Oman should be a welcome arrival for the country’s banks, telecom providers, pharmacies, and etailers, along with other enterprises selling online. These are the types of enterprise in the UAE that have come to trust the company as a partner for the safe, reliable, and efficient transportation of products to their customers.
