Hi has anyone had anything delivered by a courier company from the UK. If yes how long did it take   roughly how much was it and which company. I need a pair of contact lenses shipped asap.

Hi Lozza2003,

Good Day

Aramex, DHL are good but expensive to send some stuff from UK to Doha , I think they charge min. 1/2kg standard one. You can call them and ask they will give your price on how much. :) Hope it helps you :)

Landmark has a contact lenses stand and one of the opticians near Pauls advertised something about revolutionary contact lenses! Strangely, I remember that but not the important stuff!

Another suggestion...if it is something coming from a company, send it to a UK address, like you mum etc. and get them to send it Royal Mail, tracked. My mum sent some documents to me and it cost about a tenner and didn't take too long. It wasn't the quickest but not expensive. Just had to go back 2 years on Whatsapp for that!
