Sea Freight Cargo & Port Services

Hi, my beau and i are in discussions over sending household items from dubai to doha. dealing with freight forwarders in dubai are pretty straight forward, not to mention practical. but i was surprised that the fees to arrange port to door services to doha are exorbitant - 3000 riyals!

the forwarder advised to do a port to port shipment, and my beau will collect it from the port. questions is: how difficult or easy is the dealings with customs and port? anyone who had gone through the same thing? which is a more practical thing to do?

thanks.

Manika - what did you decide in the end?

We are doing the same thing and I have been recommended a company called Inchape by a friend who also used them to move from Dubai-Doha, door to door service.
