Hi Everyone, We will be moving soon from Egypt to Oman. Of course one of the main issues of settling in is furniture. We would like to buy from IKEA Dubai. They say they only deliver within the UAE but it can be shipped by third party freight company. We've been thinking of renting out an SUV and transporting the goods ourselves. Has anyone tried this before? Just wanted to know would this help me save on freight charges or will the SUV rental and gas money be more.
