Freighting stuff from UK to Dukhan

Hello everybody,

 

We are wondering if any one has recently freighted stuff from UK to Dukhan.

 

So far, I have found a number of Removal/Freighting Companies who only deliver to Doha.

 

I guess we have to arrange to get stuff from Doha to Dukhan?  If so does anyone know of companies to refer?  Any idea of cost etc etc

 

 

Your help much appreciated.

bigfoot please check your inbox as I had sent you a private message earlier regarding the contact number of someone I know who might be able to help you to transport your stuff. I had sent you the private message as I think it is not proper to disclose the contact number in open column..

Bumblebee,

 

Forgive me I have no idea of who is who and what is what there.

 

I guess once I get in Qatar, I get to find out about all these from colleagues.

 

 

I am trying to do as much home work as possible to get things ready for the final move.  Sad, I know.

 

I also have to learn a bit about the art of bargaining.  Any tips.

 

 

Bumblebee, did you move in from UK?

 

Many thanks

I went there like 3 weeks ago, looks like a nice place to camp and have fun in the beach.

 

But its like 35 to 40 minutes from the city. so prepare and bring your dvds, books, and every thing you need to have fun.

 

I live in other place by the north of Qatar closer to Doha but I spend more time at the house cause I HATE TO DRIVE HERE if you know what I mean

Many thanks for the info.

 

 

I am sure it will take me a while to get used the way things happen there.

 

I am not able to find any freighting company here in the UK who would actually give me a price  for transportation of Goods from Doha to Dukhan so that I could shop around a bit  if at all possible.

 

So far I found one who has given me a quotation over £4000 for a 40 foot container

 

Any feed back would be much appreciated.

 

 

Do you know of any site  which would offer some photos of the Compound in Dukhan?  I have seen a few on Google Earth but only of the sea side , the mosque!

 

 

Many thanks

This country is like a small  department, State or Region.

 

So ship to doha and the same company will delivered at Dukhan. of course they will charge you the transportation.

 

Good Luck.
