Shipping personal effects to UK
Hi all
I will be ending a short (but long seeming) two year contract in Saudi Arabia later this month, and want to ship some personal effects home, nothing fancy. I will need them in UK only a few days after I get home as I have another contract elsewhere to attend to. I guess this only leaves Air as a freight option; so my question is:
Which of the big three should I use for door to door service of about 60kg?
TNT, UPS, or the one I now can't remember (senior moment) ?
Any thoughts or experiences as for depots I live in Al Khobar and want goods sent to a manchester address.
Many Thanks
