Shipping things to Dubai.

Can anyone on here please recommend a good shipping company to move stuff from the UK to Dubai. I'm going to send it sea freight but it is a minefield trying to work out which companies a reputable and good value. We are only sending about 80 cubic feet or 2.5 cubic meters.

If you have experiences, either good or bad, sending things to the M.E. please let me know.

Thanks in advance.

I had quotes off a few companies and settled for Anglo Pacific. 20ft container, packing and unpacking both ends, insurance and customs all taken care of, total price approx £3300. It took about 4 weeks door to door, excellent service.

Apologies, re-read your question. Anglo - Pacific would charge you £6.90 per cubic foot with a minimum spend of 70 cu f. Therefore your 80 cu f would cost approx £600 and would go on a group shipment so could take up to 10 weeks.

Hope this helps

Hi
What is the collection area in UK? I can then submit you a door to door price based on LCL shipping cost. Also would the goods be packed?
thanks

Thanks G.

That seems to be about the cost.
