Our Twitter promotions resulted in a request this afternoon for courier services to Bahrain. A phone call to the client (a new company) cleared things up a bit when we explained we only do UK/Ireland and some parts of Europe but not as far as Bahrain. End result: the company will use us for local work instead.

Anyway, out of curiosity, do any of you deliver as far as Bahrain or thereabouts? It's just something we'll like to keep in mind for future use.

Thanks.

You can do it, all you need is a van with air conditioning, you can fill up there for 40 pence a gallon.

It's not something we would do, especially when the Middle East don't think too fondly of women...

I don't know any up there, I use Heathrow, I could ask a few people if some other kindly person doesn't put forward a name.
