To Our Valued Customers in Saudi Arabia:
At BERNY, we are committed to providing you with an exceptional shopping experience, ensuring your desired timepiece is delivered to you safely, quickly, and accurately. To uphold this commitment, we have prepared this essential guide to help you understand the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's latest shipping regulation: the Wasel Short Code, and to walk you through the simple steps to obtain it, guaranteeing your order is delivered without delay.
1. What is the Wasel Short Code?
The Wasel Short Code, also known as the Short Address Code, is a critical initiative introduced by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to enhance logistics efficiency and delivery precision. It serves as your "Digital Address ID" within the Saudi National Address system, issued by the Saudi Post (SPL), and is directly linked to your detailed geographical location [2].
This new regulation, announced by the Transport General Authority (TGA), aims to optimize parcel delivery services, accelerate operations, and reduce unnecessary contact between couriers and customers [1]. It is a vital component of the National Transport and Logistics Strategy under Saudi Vision 2030 [1] [2].
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Official Name | Short Address Code or Wasel Short Code |
| Issuing Authority | Saudi Post (SPL) |
| Mandatory Effective Date | January 1, 2026 [1] [2] |
| Code Format | 4 English Letters + 4 Digits (e.g., RRR D2929, ABCE1058) [2] |
| Primary Goal | To improve "last-mile" delivery accuracy and minimize customs and delivery delays [2] |
2. Why is the Short Code Essential for Your BERNY Order?
According to the latest announcement from the TGA, starting January 1, 2026, all parcels shipped to Saudi Arabia, regardless of their nature, must include the recipient's Short Address Code clearly and accurately on the shipping label [2].
"The Transport General Authority (TGA) announced that, starting January 2026, parcel delivery companies will be required to reject any shipment that does not include a valid National Address." [1]
This means that if you place an order on the BERNY website without providing the correct Short Code, your BERNY watch parcel may face the following risks:
- Rejection by Courier: Delivery companies have the right to refuse shipments that do not contain the Short Code [2].
- Significant Delays: The shipment may not pass the system pre-clearance, leading to severe delays in customs and the delivery process [2].
- Return or Penalty: In extreme cases, the parcel may be returned to the sender, and you may incur corresponding fines or penalties [2].
To ensure your BERNY watch is delivered on time and hassle-free, we strongly urge you to obtain and use your Short Code immediately.
3. How to Obtain Your Official Wasel Short Code
The Short Code must be actively applied for by the local recipient (individual or company) in Saudi Arabia [2]. The process is quick and can be completed through the official Saudi Post platform.
Step-by-Step Application Guide:
| Step | Action | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Visit the SPL National Address Platform | Go to the Saudi Post "National Address" page: https://splonline.com.sa/en/national-address-1/ |
| 2 | Fill in Details | Follow the prompts to enter your personal or business information, along with your detailed residential address (including street, building number, unit number, etc.). |
| 3 | System Verification | The system will verify the address information you submitted. |
| 4 | Receive Your Short Code | Upon successful verification, the system will generate your unique 8-digit Short Code (4 letters + 4 digits). |
| 5 | Save the Code | Please download, screenshot, or print your Short Code for all future online purchases. |
Helpful Tip: You can also check and verify your National Address information through official Saudi government applications such as Absher, Tawakkalna, or Sehhaty platforms [1].
4. BERNY Customer Action Checklist
