Hi Everyone, We will be moving soon from Egypt to Oman. Of course one of the main issues of settling in is furniture. We would like to buy from IKEA Dubai. They say they only deliver within the UAE but it can be shipped by third party freight company. We've been thinking of renting out an SUV and transporting the goods ourselves. Has anyone tried this before? Just wanted to know would this help me save on freight charges or will the SUV rental and gas money be more.
THe process of transporting your goods from the UAE to Oman is likely to be quite complicated as you have to ensure you have the correct documents as you cross borders, etc. I'd suggest speaking to a professional relocation company for some advice. Although they charge fees they have an intimate knowledge of the shipping process and can assist you tremendously.

Are you also looking at shipping goods from Eygpt? Why are you moving to Oman? If you have a job offer there maybe the sponsoring company could also assist you.
