Hello Guys, I will be moving to Riyadh around first week of July and I need your advice on excess baggage. My company is providing me with a lump sum mobilisation allowance instead of using relocation company. This is my first international move and I am not sure which option is more suitable, sea freight or air?
Please can anyone share his air freight experience? What about custom duty, do I need pay any or just handling charges at Riyadh airport? Any suggestions for good air freight company??? How do people transport excess baggage from airport, I mean is there ‘man with Van’ like service in Riyadh?
Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you.

David

dear, excess baggage includes what, in case these are ur suit cases, normal excess baggage charges would apply. but i think you are referring to your house hold equipments, i would suggest to have this through sea i.e., less economical. for van related help, first let us know the size of your baggage.
any way, well come to Riyadh, KSA.:cool:
