When shipping personal belongings and household goods from the UK to Qatar you have a few options based on the size of your move; shared container or full container.
Shared Container is the perfect choice for smaller shipments to Qatar (those shipping less than the contents of a 3-bedroom home). This option is the most cost-effective solution as it allows our customers to share container space and only pay for what they need.
Full Container shipping is the best option for larger, full-house moves and provides you with the flexibility of your own dedicated 20ft or 40ft shipping container.
Whether moving just a few boxes or the entire contents of your home, we've got you covered!
Takes 60 seconds. Free, and no obligation.
We easily and accurately measure the size of your move to the volume of space your pallet will take up during shipment. This removes the guesswork and ensures that you only pay for what you are shipping to Qatar. Not any excess space or overcharges, exactly what you use.

Our packing procedures provide a safer 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.
Take the guesswork out of your move to Qatar and get there up to 3 months faster than other movers.
