Hi, i have never shiped any stuff from Dubai to Canada, and really dont have any idea.
But please read below a note from Captain Qorax (He is too from Dubai) :
Don't cargo things to Canada -- it's not worth it.
Most items u'd find here in pretty compititive rates. There r 'used goods' possibilities too. And there's the Dollar Stores - where u'd find all daily utilities in peanut value, incl crockery/cutlery, stationery, draperies, household stuff etc.
1. Your most electronic eqpt will not work... that include the TV, DVD Player, Music system, Camcorder, Digital Photo-frame etc. Besides, they r cheaper here, including the laptops... doubt that? come here & u'd know!
2. Fragile goods mostly will break in transit.
3. Bulkier goods [viz. furnitures, LCD TV, Murals etc] will not be worth the cost of transportation Vis-a-Vis the price of fresh ones here.
4. Rather purchase extra baggage from your airline & carry some extra suitcases - for your most important goods. BA charges $42/suitcase only.
5. Do not go to Ruby Cargo -- there's a horror story by one of our google-group members here [I'll post its extract separately sometimes].
