Shipping personal items to Dubai - Relocating. Dec 02, 2012
My wife and I will be moving from the UK to Dubai mid December.

We don't have loads of kit to bring with us, just shoes, clothes and personal items, but I guess too much to bring on the flight over.

Can anyone recommend a way of shipping our items to Dubai for a resonable price, I don't mind if it takes a couple of weeks.

Thanks, Dave.

I got a company from Hull to take some furniture over for me. I can't remember their name but try googling it. Do you have a residents visa? I made this mistake. The company didn't tell me I needed one and when my stuff arrived, I couldn't import it.
Luckily I have a very good local friend and he took care of everything. He had to transfer the goods into his name and import them for me. It was a bit of a hassle but we got there in the end.

Hi Dave

I can personally recommend Anglo Pacific. I was in London for the last two years. I moved back to Dubai a couple of weeks ago.

Al my stuff - two years worth of books, clothes, bedding and some electrical items - arrived safely a few days ago. Not a single glitch anywhere.

I chose their shipping service because for me, time was also not much of an issue.

One point - I'm not sure if they actually offer a packing service. I did it myself, I just can't remember if they offered a service anyway.

I contacted quite a lot of companies to compare prices and box sizes and for me Anglo were the best. It realy worked out well.

Hope this helps!

Hey,

For shipping your items, company theboxme would be really helpful. They provide some really good and affordable moving, packing and storing services. When I moved to Dubai, I used their services. Theboxme took utmost care of my belongings and kept me stress free. Do try them.

And as much as I know, Moving Right Along company isn't all that good..one of my friends had a bad experience with them. So beware :-)

Take care. Hope I could be of some help to you :-)
