G'day gents,
I retired from EK DXB about a year ago and got a quote from 3 of the companies recommended by EK for a 40ft container DXB YVR.
Freightworks actually wasn't too bad, and a several thousand dirhams lower than the highest bidder.
However got an even better quote from the Kuene & Nagel (sp?) reps in DXB (First Gulf shipping). They were trying to break in to some of the EK repatriation biz. They did an excellent job for me and were easy to work with.
If you want to try them for a quote, my contact was Glen Miranda (his daughter works for EK in Skywards).
Good luck
