Depending upin how much stuff you have, shipping may be a better option than air-freight. If you choose to ship then your items will arrive in Aqaba which is 300km from Amman. You will also have to clear the shipment when it enters Jordan and deal with workers handling your stuff in a rough manner when it arrives at your house (however a promise of a big tip may help them be more considerate). You can send me a private message, nearer the time and I can recommend some Jordanian companies to take care of both.

Just want to say that every Jordanian has the right for only one time in his life to bring his household,taxfree to Jordan, when he lives abroad and want to move to Jordan.

Is is true that the workers in Aqaba treat your things in a rough manner. The container will be sealed with a lock and the law is that they only can open the container in present with the owner of the things inside. But in my case they didn't.
So be carefull with that.

If you have not already, i HIGHLY suggest NOT using e***
They broke LOADS of my things then refused to pay for them
Claimed the insurance I got only covered total loss when I talked to [Moderated] directly and said i did not want that type of insurance, but she gave it to me anyway.
Broke a brand new 42 inch Sony flat panel tv,
took ages to get my stuff here
pushed the delivery date back 3 times
charged me $800 more once they already had my stuff
lost 4 of my boxes and just said sorry too bad
Did not deliver all of my items when they arrived in the UK
just a total nightmare

Also forgot to mention, i gave them my American Express card number before I left, then received emails a few weeks later stating I was being charged for storage because I had not paid for the rest of the shipment when they had my card details the entire time.
Refused to refund the money and it was their fault. They do not communicate with each other and have different departments handling things.

again
