I've been told a place in DIC are very good - trying to find their company name, something like TGS.

I guy at work used them, 2000dh from Ranches to Marina. They even put up his curtain poles in the new place. He's back from vacation on sunday will ask him.

Try Blue Line movers...They're good, great value for money, no frills but know what they're doing...
I moved my house with them about 6 years ago...A colleague of mine moved his mid-summer last year and was very satisfied...I think you should do it all for less than AED1500 all in...

But I'm a corporate high flier, gotta keep my ilk in the lap of luxury.

Just wish the corporation had stepped up to the mark and paid!

4 beds, dining, lounge and the fewking pinano, man. Loads of stuff. Not forgetting my garage full of tools and bits for the bike. Was the cheapest of 4 quotes.

Pool table itself would have cost 1'500 alone if I hadn't sold it.

All relative I guess......relatively focking expensive. Not moving again...ever!
