So which will arrive first? I don't have an ETA on the air shipment yet, but Shane is betting on the sea shipment. Stay tuned...
We did what they said and took the road less traveled...now where the heck are we?

Which will get here first, the air or sea shipment?
I shouldn't even have to ask this question, but at this point, it is anyone's guess. Just like with our move to Doha, the company gives us two shipments: an air shipment, which is supposed to take 1-2 weeks and is for 'immediate needs' items, and a sea shipment, which usually takes 6-8 weeks, and contains all the rest of our junk. Both shipments were packed on September 21. I received a notice from our shipping company yesterday that our sea shipment will arrive in Sakhalin on October 22! That is just 4 weeks! Well, what about our air shipment? It is still in Doha as I type this. It is full of - you guessed it - items that I am really needing right now. Yes, I have already called and chewed on them, and today got a notice that it is due to leave tomorrow for Amsterdam. I am pretty irritated that it has taken them almost 4 weeks to even send it. They should have just put it on the boat with our container! Oh, well, as long as I eventually receive it.

Who's moving your stuff from Korsakov to your home? If it is IWM, they do a pretty good job. I've used them a few times before.
I think we use Panalpina. At least that is who we signed over power of attorney to receive it for us...
