I had called ISS last Thursday and finally got the quote on Sunday. I don't have furniture to ship since my employer provided most of it and I'll be selling what I do have as my household items are in storage back home. I have mostly winter/cooler clothing, all my summer stuff, personal effects, a few gifts and one box of work-related items since I'm a teacher. I'm heading back to the U.S. and it seems most shipping companies only use New York, Chicago, D.C. and LA as ports of entry. I live in Ohio which is a good 5 hour drive to Chicago and 8 hours to New York. Will check out Crown.

Thanks! I called them today but I need to see if my employer will pay for all or half since it is a company furnished apartment and what they have tried has not worked.

Sorry it took so long to reply...it's been a bit hectic around here. Thanks for the tip. I'll check out Sisters. Abu Dhabi Week just had a blip about some men's salons that I'll have the BF try.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll look into it as I've used an American credit card.

I agree with Tru Blu. I've had a bad experience with them as well and I'm still trying to get my money refunded clear back from a canceled order in December from something I never received yet paid for when I ordered it in November. I've posted several times on their Facebook page with all the other complaints. Usually someone responds within a few days, but that doesn't necessarily mean the problem will be resolved. If anyone has any other suggestions on how to get a refund, I'd appreciate it. I paid with PayPal since I did not want my credit card info to be sent to them, but PayPal and the card that I used through PayPal have not been credited. It isn't a significant amount, but the second time I've been ripped off in this country.

Hubby just accepted an offer and we'll be moving to AD in August'13. My little son just turn 3 and is currently in a British pre-nursery in Bahrain. I would rather him to follow the American Curriculum, since we're Americans, so any feedback on the American schools? How good are they compared to the British ones? Which one is best? Also I noticed some AD schools accept 3yo for KG1 but I personally find 3 to be too young. Would you recommend pre-nursery or KG1 for a 3yo? I teach at the American International School on Airport Rd. and 29th. It uses the PYP (Primary Years Program) through the IB, but they also follow the Virginia State Standards. We have a new principal, the wife of the school director, who has been going through very strict admissions last year and this year. The elementary school has improved tremendously in the four years that I have been working there, and the school wants to have higher standards and acceptance policies to ensure the students are receiving the best education. There are still some problems as all school have, but you should give it a try. Pre-school is age 3, Kg1 is age 4 and KG2 is age 5. Let me know if you have any other questions. Some classes are already on a waiting list only basis already.
