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.

From what I see, most use an Amarex account if from the likes of Amazon, if not, DHL

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!
