But at a cost. We used Pickford in England. They have a sister co. in Q called Allied Pickfords. They are not the cheapest, however britiannia gave a higher quote. Cost us 3890+ sterling for full container( I think 40 cubic ft), not including insurance. We took life and limb in hand and decided not to bother with insurance ...boy were we glad when that ship docked.
However even if your removal co. stops at Doha there is a trading co. that deals with shipments from there to your door and not too expensive. (Remember labour is cheap over here). Customs is done manually over here so pack well, they can be heavy handed. Get over here and buy a copy of Marhaba or Living in Qatar, they give good advise on moving here. It is Ramadan at the moment so customs is on half shifts, plus asian olympic games will take priority up to xmas so be prepared for delays whether you go air or sea. Our shipment left England on 25 sept. We are having it delivered to our door (finally) on wed 4 Oct. Whooppeeeeee. Apparently that is good going.
Incidentally Our air quote was nearer 5000. sterling. We only got one quote so dont know if that was good or bad.
If you go for Pickfords and live near Milton Keynes ask for Valerie at that branch. She was an absolute gem.
good luck
