If this question has already been answered, please point me in the direction of the thread where it was answered.

BUT my question is - I am moving from Qatar. I am shipping a few boxes, and included in those boxes are heavy things like books. I am not arriving in my next destination for 4 months, so it does not matter if it is shipped slowly, but I'm looking for a way to ship everything cheaply and safely. Any help you could give me would be fantastic! Thank you!

Hey! For shipping heavy stuff like books and not rushing it, sea freight is usually your best bet for keeping costs down.

From my own experience, using a moving company like DocShipper Qatar can really help. They offered me budget-friendly options when I moved from Qatar to NYC and took care of all the packing and paperwork for me!

It might be worth checking them out. Good luck with your move!

You will need to pay storage charges. You can have them kept at the storage facility of any cargo company here and advise them when to ship your boxes. I do not know of any such reliable companies that will take this responsibility or can be trusted. Alternatively, if you ship the boxes before your exit, the boxes will reach the port of destination long before you reach there and the goods will incur demurrage which is going to be heavy. Also, the possibilities of the goods getting damaged at the port exists as the boxes get shifted from one area to another regularly at the port.
