Carry guidance

• See the item with your own eyes before you buy it. A photo from the shopper is what they want, not what you are carrying.
• Check your airline's allowance for that specific item, on that specific route, on the day you fly. Allowances differ by carrier and by destination and they change.
• Weigh it. A request that fits your allowance in the shop can put you over at check-in once it is boxed.
• Check what your destination lets in. The traveller is the person the border speaks to, not the shopper and not Wasil.
• If anything about a request feels wrong, decline it. You owe nobody an explanation, and no fee is worth a customs problem.

The most-requested item on Wasil and the one with the most rules. Zamzam is sold in sealed 5-litre bottles at official outlets; water you decanted yourself is not accepted by airlines and should never be carried for someone else.

A sealed 5-litre bottle costs roughly SAR 12.5 at the official distribution points. Treat that as a guide, not a quote.

• Buy only from an official outlet, and keep the bottle sealed and the receipt with it.
• Most airlines allow ONE sealed 5-litre bottle per passenger, carried as checked baggage and often outside the normal weight allowance — but this is airline-specific and is not guaranteed.
• Zamzam is never permitted in cabin baggage. It goes in the hold or it does not fly.
• Never agree to carry more than one bottle, and never carry someone else's opened container.

• Airlines cap the total volume of alcohol-based liquids a passenger may carry. Perfume and oud oil count towards it. Exceeding the cap is a confiscation, not a fine.
• Keep everything sealed in original packaging with the receipt. Opened bottles look like decanted liquid to a screener.
• Cabin liquids follow the 100ml container rule regardless of what the bottle cost.
• If you are in ihram, do not open, test or apply any of it. See the ihram guidance.

So you can sanity-check a shopper's budget before you bid. These are typical Saudi retail ranges and they move constantly — always price the actual item in the actual shop.

• Zamzam, sealed 5L — about SAR 12.5
• Ajwa dates, 1kg — about SAR 80–160 depending on grade
• Oud oil, 12ml — about SAR 150–600 depending on grade
• Branded Arabian perfume, 100ml — about SAR 250–450
• Sidr honey, 1kg — about SAR 200–600
• Prayer rug — about SAR 30–150
• Miswak — about SAR 2–5

Approximate retail guidance only. Wasil does not set, verify or guarantee any price, and the shopper's budget cap is what you are actually held to.

• Zamzam water
• Gold and jewellery
• Large quantities of food

• Declare what you are carrying if you are asked. Carrying goods for another person is normal and legal; hiding it is what creates a problem.
• Some countries restrict food, seeds, honey and animal products regardless of quantity.
• Large quantities of anything can be treated as commercial import and taxed accordingly.
• Keep every receipt until the handover is confirmed.

• Wasil holds the shopper's payment in escrow and releases it after a code-confirmed handover. That is the service.
• Wasil is not the importer, the seller or the carrier. We do not inspect goods and we are not party to what you agree to put in your bag.
• Wasil is not liable for confiscated, damaged, delayed or refused items, for customs duties or fines, or for anything that follows from a rule you did not check.
• If a shopper asks you to do something that breaks a rule or a law, refuse and report it. Doing it anyway makes it yours.

Fear Allah in what you carry and in what you charge. Someone is trusting you with their money and their errand, and He sees the transaction that no code confirms.

Short, and written to be read. You agreed to these when you signed up.
