moving from Abu Dhabi to Singapore
moving from Abu Dhabi to Singapore
Hello,
I have just recceived an exhorbitant quote for moving a small shipment of personal items from Abu Dhabi to Singapore. they say it is because of costs at the Singapore end. I wonder if anyone can give me advise on the best way to go about this.
I only have two weeks..

You say small, but what is the cubic capacity?cnewall wrote:The quote is for about $2000 Aust. and I am not sure how it is being transported..
Alternative is to find a container returning to Singapore, and contact them!
I think if you go through an agency, they will kind of take your money, they also know, you don't have much choice, but to pay!
The main purpose of not posting it myself is because of the weight and such. There are a large number of books. Also, mail is a huge problem from here and that concerns me. Lastly I am going home to Australia for 6 weeks in between leaving Abu Dhabi and arriving in Singapore and I do not yet know my address in Singapore. The company do not have enough room to store it until I arrive.
On the plus side, the agency is trying to find a much better price than the one the gave me initially.
Cheers

Books and other printed matter can usually be shipped by mail surprisingly cheaply -- check at your local post office for "International M-Bag" rates. The 6-week hiatus is a bit of a problem though...
