Cargo tips
Hi
I said once we'd arrived I'd let you know how we got on with cargo. We used GAC's affiliate in London and did indeed get our things in just over a week. However they lost two boxes which have still yet to show up. It seems the boxes did get to Doha (so full marks to the UK end) but then got lost here somehow (the company dealing with the Qatar end was Inchcape shipping).
Hope this is of use to someone,

how long it it take for yours to arrive at the house from when it was in Doha. Mine took an excruciating amount of time that I blame on my agent although they in turn tried to put the blame on customs.
Hope you find your boxes. More than likely they are lined up on the runway with the apparently huge back log they are currently experiencing. The Olympic Games people are shipping loads of stuff by air and what with ramadam and half shifts things have started to sack up big time.
We shipped ours and after some hiccoughs (amazingly not due to customs but the company) we get our stuff on the 4th (tomorrow).
It is funny to think that one month ago we were both on the other side of the world trying to get all this worked out.
