Hi all,

I am moving to Doha next month, on 18th June.

I need to ship about 300kg, but have no idea where to start and am surprised how little comes up in a basic Google search.

Has anybody air "shipped" from UK recently, have you any recommendations?

How long does it take?

Also it looked very expensive.

All thoughts much appreciated.

Thanks in advance and can't wait to arrive in Doha.

We had a very bad experience shipping from UK to here. Cannot remember the company's name, sorry. The costs are very high, and make sure you check all the info provided as there often can be a lot of hidden costs!!

It took around 3 months for us to receive our shipment and we thought it was a door to door service, but it turned out not to be, which incured more costs.

There is plenty of fully furnished property here so I would advise selling all your stuff and renting one of them, as if you come to move here from villa to villa, again costs are very high.
