Hi everybody!

I would highly appreciate your help and advice!

1. Where can I buy boxes which are stable enough for shipping? I need some big, plain boxes!

2. Which is the best and cheapest way of shipping household items to europe?

As always, I thank you all very much for your help!!

I just stopped at Q-Post and bought some sturdy boxes. 50cm x 60cm x 50cm for 10 riyal. they have other sizes also.

Shipping for me: DHL was 2200 riyal for a 20kg box. other carriers were closer to 24 riyal/kilo. So I'd avoid DHL if you are price conscious.

I do think it is convenient that the maximum linear dimensions on Qatar Airways is 158cm while the above box is 160 :(

I suggest Dynamic Logistics. They provide boxes (cardboard) and bubble-wrap. They provide door-to-door service at a reasonable rate. Avoid Eco-Line as they are crooks. After they have your money, they won't do anything for you unless you scream at them and threaten to call the police!
