Default Shipping Companies. Any Suggestions?

Has anyone got some good experiences of shipping their items out to UAE. Ideally looking for a container as I will probably ship one of our cars out too.

For household good you should use a specialist removals company that is familiar with shipping to the UAE.

Try GB Liners

Removals by G B Liners Household removal and storage

don't bother with your car, right hand drives are illegal and cars are very cheap here.

Definitely try GB Liners then.

I used them a while ago & I know of others who have had good service. You can also just have part of a container with them.

I'll be moving from the U.S. (Los Angeles) this spring. Any ideas on shipping a 20 foot container to Dubai and a rough idea of the cost.

Thanks

Looks like I won't be needing a big container then if I can't bring the car over.

Should reduce the cost somewhat
