What is The AQX Logistics Story — Disrupting US-KSA Freight?

AQX was founded to end volumetric weight pricing abuse in US-Saudi Arabia shipping. Read our story, our team, and why we built the first actual-weight logistics platform for KSA. AQX Logistics is the only US-to-Saudi Arabia freight forwarder that charges exclusively by actual dead weight — never volumetric or dimensional weight — saving brands 30-60% on every KG shipped.

Why AQX for Saudi Arabia?

AQX Logistics was founded in 2024 with a single frustration: why does every US-KSA freight forwarder charge by the dimensions of the box instead of what's actually inside it? Volumetric weight pricing was invented by airlines to maximize revenue per cubic meter of hold space. But it metastasized into every mode of freight — ground, ocean, express parcel — and became the biggest silent tax on ecommerce brands selling lightweight products in large boxes. AQX's founder — having shipped thousands of supplement and cosmetics SKUs from the US to Saudi Arabia — decided to build the alternative: a forwarder that bills by actual scale weight only, headquartered physically in Al Khobar where Saudi customs decisions are made.

How It Works

The ProblemVolumetric weight pricing costs US-KSA ecommerce brands 20-60% in shipping overcharges.
The InsightMost forwarders outsource Saudi operations. AQX built a real physical team in Al Khobar.
The SolutionActual weight billing + in-country SFDA expertise = lower costs + zero customs drama.
The TechnologyAQX Suite dashboard gives US brands real-time visibility that legacy forwarders can't match.
The MissionMake US-Saudi Arabia logistics as simple and transparent as domestic shipping.
