Shipping problems/ New to Jeddah.

Hi there,

I'm new to this blog. I'll be relocating to Jeddah in July with my family. I'm still dealing with packing and shipping arrangements.

I've read a lot of forums. And afraid that my shipping items will be either damaged or missing. I even bought a huge metal box to store my home appliances. Could anyone please share your shipping experiences? And how to prevent all the hassles?

I also heard that shopping is an ace in Jeddah, still some of the expats regret not bring some more books or CDs? Besides these what else should bring more? Any suggestions?

What do all the staying home wife and toddlers do in Jeddah???

I'm looking forward to hearing your opinions. Thank you all

Good day.
