Measured Exactly for Accurate Billing

When it comes to shipping, size matters. Moving costs are determined by the total volume of your shipment. After packing, our pallets can be measured exactly to ensure clear and accurate billing for your move abroad.


Unique COVID Safe Packing

Our packing procedures offer a COVID-safe method of shipping your belongings to Qatar, protecting your goods from unnecessary handling and isolating them from the outside world until arrival at your new door.

Rather than simply shipping items loosely in a container, we combine the contents of your move onto individual pallets and shrink-wrap each pallet to prevent any handling of individual items and to provide a shield against the outside world.
