I am leaving Qatar in July. I would like to take some of my more expensive furniture plus other things that I would like to ship back. Does anyone know of some reputable companies for shipping from Qatar to UK? Thanks in advance for responses.

Hello All,

I used Runway International in Doha when I was moving back to UK from Doha. They came and packed my items at home. We left to UK and later we were shocked to know that this guy from Runway International demanding more money else he said he is not going to ship my consignment. I had no other alternative but to transfer money. He said my shipment will reach me in 45-60 days but in reality it reached us in 98 days. Once we received our items we were shocked to see that the boxes were tampered, opened and repacked. We realize that our items have been stolen. When we asked this guy from Runway International he said he is not responsible and asked us to claim through insurance.

We spent almost 4 months in constant calls, emails and communications. Never got straight forward response from Runway International. I would recommend not to go with such companies and avoid them. I recommend to go with reputed freight and moving companies like DHL, ARAMEX, Agility, FedEx even if it costs more. You will have peace of mind and your items will be safe. Finally you will get a professional service which is missing from comapnies like Runway International Doha.

Stay Away from such comapnies which cheat clients.

Hi Harry

I used Brookfields when I moved over to Qatar in November 2012 - Try contacting Brookfield Relocation in the UK, they probably can point you in the right direction -
