Hi all,
          I have a few questions about moving into the Kingdom.

1.My partner has a lot of cat ornaments is it possible to have
  them delivered to Saudi via DHL or one of the many others. I
  have read in other places they are one of the many prohibited
  items.

2.Does any one have a useful link for me to look at so I can
  understand exactly how I need to pack and label all our
  belongings that are going to be sent on after we leave.

3.This one seems just too crazy to be true, both my partner and
  myself have no plans to have children is it possible to buy
  condoms in the Kingdom as I have just red a article that claims
  any one bringing them into Saudi will be arrested and put
  in prison for 6 months is this true.

Hiya Dave,

Welcome to Saudi Arabia, be sure to drop by in riyadh sometimes ;).

here is my view over the questions;

I. I honestly don't think cat ornaments are such a big deal, in other words I dont think they are prohibited, unless your going to rush in hundreds of them all at once :D. DHL is fine.

II. I'm not an expert on that unfortunately, I hope anyone else pitchs in.

III. like earlier said, its not a big deal, you can but them here at pharmacies as well, it's not a crime tool, it's a health accessory i suppose :P
