I'm staying at a very non descript apartment building in DMM, and its staff do not know how to receive express mail. I asked them about what address they use for FeDex, DHL, UPS, TNT, Aramex and they were not able to provide me with an exact one. They told me they've never got express mail there.

I also don't feel comfortable to get my express mail at work because it may change too many hands and get lost. Plus I may be in class.

I then decided to use the UPS Hold For Pick Up service.

This is the UPS Address that you can have someone send express mail to you, and then, you can just go and pick it up. Yeah, I know it costs money to go there by taxi, but so what? If you need important documents urgently, it's worth it.

Here is the address I used:

Your Name Here
HOLD FOR PICK UP
UPS Show Room
18th Street. As-Salam District
Dammam 32416, Saudi Arabia
Your Phone Number Here

Their phone number is:

013 802 5048

or

013 859 5323

On Google maps, it is noted as UPS Express in Dammam- type those words, and the maps will give you the directions. Tell the taxi driver to take you to As Salam District, 18th street, near Dawwar Sadafa- the Shell Roundabout. It's a giant shell sculpure. UPS express is down 18th street from there, but on your left. You'll need togo down 18th street, make a U turn and go back up some 150 meters.

The people are very friendly and very professional.

They also told me that one does not need an Iqama to send stuff from them. I understand a passport with a visa would suffice.

I strongly recommend them.
