I arrived in Doha 3 weeks ago from Hampshire, UK. My company paid for 50kgs unaccompanied baggage but I actually brought 112kgs. Qatar airways in London recommended James Cargo Services Tel 0044(0)1753 687722 e.mail [email protected] and I found them to be very efficient. I dealt with a guy called Stephen who was most helpful. In total I had 7 boxes and 2 packages.Majority household items, books, pictures etc - no foods or liquids allowed but they will advise.Total cost including vat was £310. You need to e.mail them an inventory of each box e.g. books, crockery etc. They collected my cargo for a charge of £45 or you can bring it to Heathrow yourself. They will hold them for free for a certain period.
The boxes arrived the day after me and I received a phone call from customs at Qatar cargo (opposite family food centre. I went there and paid 201QR to clear. Clearing can take anywhere from a few hours but I did not have to stay for that. I did not have my own transport so arranged through the agent to have it delivered. This cost 250QR but was brought to the flat. Your company may be able to do this for you. Everything was intact and I would definately recommend and use this company again.
Hope this is of some help.
