Hi,
I just received my IKEA shipment from Dubai. I had to buy the items there (very close to the airport- but you need a taxi) - or a good friend who buys it for you!
You have to virtually get the items through the checkout on your trolley and leave them at the delivery section where you fill out the delivery papers.
I received a sms and later a mail from the ARAMEX office who processed the order/import/delivery. It costs 300 QAR minimum charge (or 3.7 QAR per kg weight) PLUS 5% tax PLUS 150 QAR for packing PLUS 100 QAR for handling fees (plus optional insurance if desired). A total of 750 QAR for me for 1250 QAR worth items (120 kg weight).
Took about 10 days to reach my home in Doha- no real hassle if you want to pay extra for getting IKEA here in Doha.
Maybe one day we will get our own store over here...
