What to ship /Air freight to Bahrain from UK

Post new topic

Cucamelon

HI,

We have an air freight allowance of 100kg or slightly more if we were to ship. This is paid by my job. However, we aren't sure what we need to bring apart from some text books for myself (I'm a teacher).

Are there any items that you advise us to take? We will be renting a place so not sure to take items such as bedding, or food gadgets like blenders or buy them there. My partner loves his dried protein powder, however, I don't think he would be allowed to send food stuff over. So far we are thinking of books and computer monitors.

Thank you

Hi my friends moved to bahrain and had the same situation as you. They shipped mostly oersonal items such as all their clothes pictures guitars gaming consoles etc. Just anything that was personal or had value to them. 100kg on reality isn't enough to bring a whole load of stuff so clothes and whatever else you want to bring.

We are moving to bahrain next year as my partner is also a teacher so would be good to message and keep in touch and maybe advise us on your experience? Where are you moving from?
