Saudi Delivery Sector Breaks Records

In a powerful reflection of digital transformation and economic growth, the Transport General Authority (TGA) announced that 63 million parcels were delivered across Saudi Arabia in the first quarter of 2025. This milestone underscores the Kingdom’s dynamic logistics infrastructure and growing e-commerce sector, both pillars of Vision 2030’s economic diversification strategy.

As part of its service oversight, the TGA released updated benchmarks for customer satisfaction in delivery services, focusing on escalated complaints—those unresolved by companies within the required time. The Kingdom’s best-performing companies included J&T Express, GFS Express, and RedBox, each with only three escalated complaints per 100,000 parcels.

In contrast, FedEx ranked lowest, recording 1,682 complaints in the same timeframe, signaling opportunities for performance improvement in international logistics.

The TGA emphasized that customers must first approach the delivery provider with complaints. If unresolved, they can contact the TGA via its hotline (19929) to ensure compliance and service quality.

These insights reflect the Kingdom’s transparent governance, commitment to consumer protection, and modern digital infrastructure that support its expanding role in global logistics.
