Hi, All

As to shipping all the stuff, when is the proper time ?
Following the forum, we couldn't know the exact address of house, so
should we ship the all the stuff after arriving KSA by some other person?
Is it possible to ship before leaving current home? I think nobody wants to get their belongs too lately.

Your relocation agent can give you a general address for Aramco to ship to. Your offer should have stated which compound. I recommend you get address labels and print on it

Employee's name and badge number
C/O Saudi Aramco
Compound
KSA

Put these stickers on all the shipping boxes.

If you are having Aramco ship your personal goods, they will assign a shipper to you once you have cleared all contingencies.

Everyone gets their shipment about 3 - 4 months later. The ebox arrives in 10 to 14 days.

If taking cash in lieu and doing your own shipment, do not ship until you know all contingencies have been cleared and visa has been approved. You would definitely not like that you have shipped out your things and then something prevents you from coming.
