Does anyone know the best way to send a couple of (4 or 5) medium sized boxes to the UK, please?

The post is too expensive. Removal firms are unsuitable.

How does one transfer a few boxes of goods, cheaply from Cyprus to UK?

I am happy to take them as far as Limassol to a dispatch place but collection would be better.


Thanks.

Some companies allow shared containers, its quite cheap. Have you tried the shipping companies? (not excess lemons by any chance)?!!!!

By 'post' do you just mean Cyprus post or have you included couriers in this? The latter may be cheaper, I don't know!

How heavy are the boxes? Was your quote via air-mail? Could you send them snail mail via sea?

Short of asking someone who is going there, no idea

Been clearing out your skeletons Oracle?

No just a vast amount of presents and traditional Cypriot stuff for my "homes" in various places

So does one just phone a shipping company?

I was hoping someone had a tried and tested method, as it would be the sort of thing a lot of expats resort to using on a regular basis .... since many keep close ties between the two places ....

I don't know how heavy they are yet ..... as much as I can squeeze in, I guess

Who are the usual Couriers used from across here, and where are their offices / despatch depots ?

Thanks

One of the companies here, (Dolphin movers) often advertise "spare spaces" going really cheap between the UK and North Cyprus, via the local paper Maybe one of your local ex pat papers do the same? If not phone a couple - you might get lucky!!

Try TNT. Or ring the port in Limassol and ask for a list of shipping agents.
