Hello All, we are visiting NC from 14th to 28th March to snag our apartment. I know this has been asked a million times.....but !!!



Can anyone give me the name of a shipping company to move my goods and chattles from Scotland.



Can anyone give me directions driving from UK to NC.



Has anyone bought from Ikea in the South, and how was it getting the stuff over the border.



Thanks in advance for all your kind assistance.

hi guys

i know a load of people who have used dolphin, some say the service was good and most say it is bad its very hit and miss with them even thou they have offices in kyrenia that does not mean nothing

i would personally reconmend bishopsmove i have used them a few times and know a lot of people who have used them and not heard a bad word said about them link provided below

http://www.bishopsmove.net/

hope this helps

regards

ukturk



p.s i also have included links to the actual company who sell the tickets and the ferry company from turkey to cyprus they also sell tickets from italy to turkey which would cut your journey time in half

I would use Olytrans. I have heard nothing but good reports about them and this is who we will be using (when our Villa is finally ready!!!)
