:shock: You want to ship a 14 year old Mercedes??? :lol:

If anything, moving country is a great opportunity to upgrade your scrap! :lol:

Shipped 2 from UK and only paid the registration at this end, no Tax. You just need to know what you are doing, unlike some dozy English tart!

Shipped a huge crate with Andrews a couple of years ago, just under 1m3 for 150£GB.

BiL shipped a BMW with them fifteen months ago for 600GB£.

Both from their depot in Brimsdown, London to Lim Port.

If so can you give me details

thanks

andrews shipping enfield London, do frieght on board only and collect from port in cyprus, be prepared in cy to pay the duty! defo get an agent to help you at the port, for you he will want approx £150 Euros any more than that tell him to go FH.
He could also get it delivered, best you go to port and get the car as you will more than likely have probs, it may not get to you in one piece.

I have shipped two cars with Andrews shipping , both collected from my business. The last car left 2 weeks ago in the boot I put 18 packets of nappies for my daughters children since the cost here is £5.49 per 50 and in Cyprus around 17 -22 euros.
Disappointed though that the car arrived a few days ago minus the nappies !!


That was some service Milti, the last car I sent took two weeks from port to port, (overall approximately three weeks from handover to collection) whereas your car seems to have taken only about eight or nine days !.

Do they do an express service ?.

I would strongly advise checking on "import duty/ tax" before you ship , the shipping costs are minimal , the duty huge esp if the car is over 5 years old .....
