What Total Shipping does

Total Shipping LLC is a privately held Dubai Mainland (LLC) freight forwarder and warehousing operator headquartered at the Aladdin Container Complex in Ras Al Khor Industrial Area 1, Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The company operates as a B2B logistics provider serving import/export businesses, e-commerce and retail customers, and enterprise clients requiring international and domestic cargo movement across the UAE and select global trade lanes. Founded circa 1999–2000 (with one source listing 2012), it employs 11–50 people and self-reports 25+ years of industry experience alongside a 4.7/5 Clutch customer rating.

The company's offering spans four interconnected core services: Air Freight for time-sensitive cargo, Ocean Freight covering both FCL and LCL shipments, Warehousing with secure container storage and organized inventory management at the Ras Al Khor facility, and an integrated 'Logistic Solution' service that bundles transportation, warehousing, documentation, and customs clearance into end-to-end supply-chain management. Underlying technology consists of logistics management and tracking systems that provide real-time cargo visibility; no proprietary AI, automation, or differentiated software platform was disclosed. Revenue is generated through transaction-based freight fees (per shipment, by volume/weight/destination), recurring warehouse rental income for short- and long-term storage, transaction-fee customs clearance, and managed-services logistics contracts. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with customer acquisition driven by direct B2B sales via phone, email, website quote forms, and third-party B2B review channels.

The company maintains a network of leading international airline partners, reputable domestic last-mile carriers, and a global network of customs agents, enabling multi-modal coverage. It holds no disclosed certifications (e.g., IATA, FIATA, AEO), no patents or trademarks, no disclosed funding rounds, and no parent or subsidiary structure. Total Shipping operates as an independent small-business logistics provider with limited publicly verifiable financial, technology, or growth signals.
