Yalla Import FAQ

How do I find the exact dimensions of my car? 


You can start with this great tool which can display the length, width, height, and boot capacity of your vehicle:

Next, you'll need to calculate your car's CBM (cubic meters), the metric unit of volume with the symbol m³. You'll need this value to know how much space your consignment will take. Here's a free tool to help you calculate just that: 


https://www.omnicalculator.com/other/cbm-shipping


If you want to calculate your CBM manually, it's pretty simple. The straightforward formula is:


Length (in meters) X Width (in meters) X Height (in meters) = Cubic Meters (m3)


If you want to convert 1 m³ to imperial units, here's the conversion factor: 


1 CBM = 1 m³ = 35.3147 ft3


Once you calculate your CBM, you'll be able to know a more accurate shipping price.


What are some auto shipping terms I need to know? (Container Vs. RoRo)


When you want to transport your car, you'll have to make a crucial decision between Container Shipping or RoRo, the two most widely used shipping methods for vehicles. Each type has its pros and cons, and by understanding the key differences between them, you can make the most informed choice: 


RoRo (Roll-on/Roll-off): This method will have your car driven into a cargo ship. These large, specialized vessels are designed to carry thousands of vehicles such as cars, buses, trucks, semi-trailer trucks, etc. Since the vehicle will be maneuvered into place by driving onto the ship and then off of it, the car must be in running condition.  


RoRo is typically less expensive than containerized shipping and may have more reliable delivery dates than container shipping. Still, it may be more exposed to the risk of damage since the car may be shipped next to many other vehicles. It may also be inaccessible to certain locations and global routes. 


Container Shipping: This method will store your car in a separate shipping container, usually alongside mixed consignments and goods. The vehicle does not have to be running and is generally more secure than RoRo (since your car would have its own dedicated container). It can pretty much deliver anywhere in the world but is more expensive than RoR and may not have reliable delivery dates. Container shipping also allows additional items to be placed in your container, such as tires. 


Your choice will boil down to personal preference and budgetary constraints. 


How long would it take? 


Depending on the country you're shipping to, your dedicated shipping agent will be able to provide an approximate ETA or estimated time of arrival. Shipping times vary based on several factors such as the selected mode of shipping, your country's location and distance, paperwork processing including import requirements, and any external factors such as weather or logistic challenges. 


How much will it cost? 


Our flat fee is 349 USD for the services mentioned above. However, the shipping price will vary based on the shipping method (Container Shipping or RoRo), port location, and your car's overall dimensions. 


Where countries do we ship to? 


We ship worldwide. Yalla Import can export cars from the UAE to countries in the Middle East, Africa, Europe, Asia, and the Americas. To know more about shipping availability to your country, you can send us a request by filling out Yalla Import's Shipping Request Form (SRF). 


How do we handle the transfer of ownership? 


Leave all transfer formalities to us! We'll handle the transfer of ownership and help you with all the relevant paperwork needed. 


What are the documents needed? 


Paperwork will vary based on the country you want the car shipped to. Don't worry about it; your shipping agent will be able to guide you. For most paperwork, you'll generally need: 


- Proof of ownership


- Bill of Lading (BoL or BL)


- Driving license 


- Original Passport 


- Commercial license if you're a company 


There may be additional requirements based on your country's existing laws and regulations. Your shipping agent will let you know if you need anything else.  


Can your car inspection be trusted?


We partnered up with Gargash Auto, one of the most prominent names in the auto industry for the UAE and the region. Established in 2005, Gargash Auto has serviced and repaired over 25,000 cars. In fact, Gargash Auto is proud to be known as one of the UAE's most reliable and trusted car service centers. They'll carry out a comprehensive car inspection and share a detailed report to help you decide whether to buy the car or not. 


Why should I trust Yalla Import to transfer the money? 


We only accept wire transfers via official bank accounts. We're a registered business in Dubai, the UAE, and governed by all the rules and regulations of the UAE's government and the central bank. We're also one of the fastest-growing portals. With thousands of active ads listed on our platform, we've established a reputation in the classifieds industry. To top it off, we only deal with registered and licensed car dealers. We'll not settle the payment before finalizing all the paperwork and securing the car.


Is my car insured while getting shipped? 


Yes, all our shipping providers have active insurance coverage for the cars they ship. Don't worry; you are fully covered! Note that insurance is paid separately depending on the destination and is not included in our fee. 


Is Yalla Deals a car dealer? 


No, we're not a dealer. We get this question a lot, and many people confuse us with dealers. We don't own any cars; we're an advertising agency with an AI-based portal that connects buyers and sellers effectively. We also have an import service. 


Is the Yalla Import fee refundable if I don't buy the car? 


Our fee is non-refundable, even if you don't buy the car.

Q-

What makes Yalla Deals special?

A-

Yalla Deals provides a service known as "Premium Ads" where you can pay a fee to have your ad listed in selected locations on our platform, and also posted to a targeted audience on social media platforms using our social media marketing engine. This will maximize your ads' visibility to reach the maximum number of serious buyers.

This is how it works:

While posting an ad on Yalla Deals, you can select optional chargeable upgrades to give your ad a unique flavor. We have four main upgrades which are Social Marketing, Featured, Urgent, and Highlighted as follows:

Social Marketing will post your ad on targeted campaigns on multiple social media platforms to reach the maximum number of interested buyers.

Featured ads will be displayed in special locations on our platform and will be positioned above free ads which, in turn, will maximize your ads' visibility. 

Urgent ads let viewers know that your listing is time-sensitive which in turn attracts buyers looking to secure the best deals.

Highlighted ads will be displayed with a different background color and a frame that will make your ad more visible in the list.

Premium ads in general will be displayed prominently on the featured ads section on the homepage. 

You can purchase premium ad(s) as a single ad or as a package. Once you purchase the ad(s), our third-party payment gateway provider -PayTabs - will process your financial transaction securely.

Once the amount for the premium ad(s) is processed, we will list your ad(s) on our platform along with any purchased upgrades, and using our social media marketing engine, we will start posting the ad(s) on our targeted social media campaigns. 

This means that we not only list your premium ad(s) on our platform but also deliver it directly to genuinely interested buyers using our state-of-the-art social media marketing engine. This is our unique way of maximizing your premium ad reach to the targeted audience. 

Ultimately, this means that you do not have to waste any more time and effort by receiving numerous calls from non-serious buyers. You will simply leave the process of reaching targeted buyers to us, and we will endeavor to bring you the best ad experience possible to maximize your chances of a successful sale with the minimum possible number of phone calls, viewings, etc...

Q-

What is E-Socializer, and why is it a gamechanger in social media marketing?

A-

The steam engine drove the Industrial revolution. Cars, trains, boats, and locomotives evolved from those engines. Now there's a new evolution of engines that will drive the digital marketing revolution. Imagine an engine that can fully automate your social media marketing by analyzing extensive marketing data, market trends, and social signals in real-time.

How does that sound? What about an engine that can execute highly targeted campaigns on different social media platforms? 

Introducing E-socializer, the world's most powerful, AI-based, driverless marketing engine.  

What is E-Socializer? 

E-Socializer provides simplified social identity management for individuals, SMEs, and large corporations by collaborating, publishing, and measuring the performance of social media profiles and marketing campaigns. 

E-Socializer's primary goal is to reduce -if not eliminate- the efforts that marketing people put in to read and analyze social trends. The result is the automatic implementation of the best possible targeting landscape for a product.

This intelligent engine can automatically launch, monitor, and manage marketing campaigns to get the cleanest results for the lowest cost possible by integrating with popular social media networks. E-Sociliazer automates marketing campaign generation, audience profile selection, and budget utilization through a state-of-the-art social media marketing engine.  

All of this happens in one place.

To make it even more exciting, we topped this off with Yalla Deals, a classifieds platform built on top of E-socializer. By connecting Yalla Deals to E-socializer, we bring the power of targeted social media marketing to an easy-to-use classifieds platform. This dual approach can maximize the chances of closing a deal by reaching the right clients directly on different social media channels, rather than waiting for someone to find an ad among thousands on a single platform.

How does the marketing engine work?

E-Socializer is integrated with popular social media networks, including but not limited to Facebook Suite, Google Suite, Twitter, LinkedIn, Telegram, Blogger, Vimo, VK, and others.

Our servers and APIs continuously synchronize with different keyword providers and social media marketing APIs to automatically create thousands of audience profiles, identify matches, and group them based on specific criteria. 

This is the magical process of "finetuning." The engine has three subset engines:

1- Collection Engine

2- Analysis Engine

3- Execution Engine

The Collection Engine is based on the following criteria: 

- Interests and interest weight (general and current).

- Income (based on locations, interests, positions, and online activities).

- Engagement Levels (how active they are online, how often they buy online, etc.). 

The outcomes of the Collection Engine are passed to the analysis engine, which performs the following: 

- Apply different layers on the groups to identify interest overlaps. Such interest overlaps allow us to target the same "person/group" using different sets of keywords and interest profiles.

- Analyze our campaigns' historical data along with the customer behavioral data we collect from different data panels to build trends such as:

- Best performing attributes for a specific type of campaign.

- Best performing ads based on the time of day, day of the week, day of the month.

- Lowest CPL, CPC, CPM for different attribute sets.

- Correlate ads/post content (category, description, location, price, etc...) and the target budget with the list of keywords attached to the audience profiles and trends created; to identify the best audience profile and campaign attributes set for a post.

The outcomes of the Analysis Engine are passed to the execution engine, which performs or "finetunes" the following: 

- Group ads/posts based on their interest profiles (we skip this step for a single post).

- Create a campaign, ad, or ad set with the best configuration of targeting attributes as recommended by the analysis engine.

- Collect leads/stats, and post them on the Yalla Bridge engine.

Yalla bridge processes the messages and shares the stats with clients over:

- API calls or message queue.

- SFTP folders.

- Email.
