Riyadh Vinyl — Climate Storage Guide

Riyadh's desert climate — extreme summer heat, very low humidity — creates specific storage requirements. Air-conditioned indoor storage is non-negotiable. The dry air desiccates cardboard sleeves quickly; outer polyethylene sleeves protect the jacket. Never leave vinyl in a parked car — even briefly in Riyadh summer. Interior car temperatures can exceed 70°C, permanently warping records.

Delivery to Riyadh — Timing and Packaging

Orders from Dubai typically reach Riyadh addresses in 3–5 business days through standard international courier (Aramex, DHL, FedEx). Arrange delivery to an address where someone can receive the parcel — do not leave vinyl in outdoor reception areas during summer months. Rigid mailer packaging protects records during transit.
