Dear community,
I am moving from Dubai to Bahrain soon. However there are couple of questions that I couldn't find answers online neither in forum although there are some similar topics. Let me shoot my questions hoping somebody already have experience and if not I'll update the post with my experience eventually.
I am trying to reduce my costs for moving my belongings from point A to B which are not more than 50kg and fits into mid size box. Options are as following;
- Aramex/Fedex/etc : Costly
- Movers: Costly
- AirCargo on the flight I'm taking: TBD
- Emirates Post: Cheap
According to calculator in here https://www.epg.ae/esvc/services/mailra … ed.xhtmla, it seems to be the best option. However, I don't have a residence in Bahrain and I'll be going there on visit visa without residency. My company is also in process to get their CR so they also don't have PO Box.
Assuming I'll post my package from Dubai using Emirates Post and indicate receiver as myself and the address as my work place;
1- Would custom office hand the package over to Bahrain post without my presence if there's nothing to declare? And after this hand over process, would Bahrain Post deliver the package to
a* to my work place
b*hotel
c* nearby post office
as a pick up point?
2- Regardless should I go to customs even if there's nothing to declare and no commercial stuff in it?
3- What would happen if postman cannot find me in pickup address?
4- What is the difference between Aramex and Emirates Post except the costs?
I would appreciate your help if you have some experience on this.
