shipping from UK to Qatar

Jut
By Jut

hi guys,

Can anyone recommend a company to ship personal belongings from the UK to Qatar, I'd like to bring some of my text books (which are damn heavy), and a few geeky things like DVDs.
I'm guessing a cargo crate would be the best way to go...

Franz I think their is a min. amount. I will get the name of the companies when my husband returns home. If you have just a few things then we are most likely leaving in august and could potentially hold a few items for you.

This sounds better than the quote I got! Bonus:)

Suggest anyone else looking to move over there at the same time might want to share a crate too.. would this work? Has anyone done it?

Otherwise what happens if you only have a couple of things you want to shift? Is there a minimum amount?

It costs depending on the size and weight. It also depends if you want them to go through customs as well. Its cheaper if your collect it from customs yourself. Obviously, it is more expensive if you want them to take it through customs and home delivery.

If you have 10 50x50 cm boxes which roughly weigh 200kgs it costs £300 if you collect it at customs. The price doubles to £600 if you plan on having them to take it through customs and deliver it to your new house in Qatar.
