Help - Looking for company to get container to house

Hi...

we recently moved to Dubai and finally our 40' container will be arriving. The big question is where to find a decent company to get our container through customs and have our belongings (1 car, 1 crated motorcycle and household items) brought to our house.

Can anyone recommend a reliable company?

We had tremendous problems with our shipment so far (Local company was not very helpful, extra charges, shipment left three weeks late from USA ....) and are hoping for a smoother ending.

To be honest the whole relocation has been a disaster and I would like to just reverse everything but what can you do? Going through this while expecting your first baby while raising an 8 year old energy bundle, having your wedding reception in less than a month in Germany and a father who is extremely sick might not be what you call "Good timing".

Thank you for all your help.
We truly appreciate any reply. Once we are settled in (Cross your fingers that we will get the house we are supposed to get. Three houses fell through so far so that we have been living in a wide variety of different hotels for the past half a year.) I will post on here and hopefully find some people with similar interests.

Wishing you all a great day & thank you already for your help.
Greetings...
Sara :-)

We used GAC too and they were very good, cant understand though why all this was not arranged at the beginning as our shipping company in the UK arranged everything at this end too! We arrived and found a villa within 5 weeks and GAC contacted us when the container had arrived and cleared customs and delivered next day! Does DH company not assist you with all of this? There are lots of empty villas now as lots of people have left, where are you looking to live? I guess you have your 8 yr old in school now... good luck getting sorted quickly its far too hot now to be getting stressed looking for a villa!

We used GAC - really fantastic! I have moved many, many times and these guys have proven to be great. In fact, we now have to move in one week and we are going to use them again. http://www.moving.gac.com/ Ask for Kevin Dsouza - Senior Imports Co-ordinator. 0507704139
