new member from NI to Cyprus

[Pam n Dave]

I've got a couple of quotes for moving out. The cheapest is £1750, for this we pack and load everything ourselves and have a 4 hour window to do this.

The second is almost £4000. All we have to do is sit back and watch. I guess you pay the money and take you choice.

The figures for taking the car also vary from £560 to £1200 so it seems wise to shop around.

Pam and Dave, Syl and I are too moving to Cyprus in July. Where did you get your quotes for moving out from as we are interested. Have you found anything out about taking the family banger across to Cyprus. I have a friend who is shipping his out in two weeks and I will let you know of the Directives, Regulations and Legislation regarding this, soon as they get to know and us, you and Dave will know. Thanks. Len and Syl.

Kathy, I too am a FHE lecturer and will be interested in teaching in Cyprus. Maybe we can set up our own college in our fields of teaching.

Hi Len and Syl

I can't give you the details the site prevents me from posting urls and email addresses.

If admin see this can we be put in contact with each other please.

Dave.

Thanks for the upgrade Bob, it didn’t hurt a bit.

I’ve PM’d Len and Syl but for the benefit of anyone else the details are :-

Burke Bros are the ones who do it all Burke Bros Moving Group

Trevor at jts.uk@blueyonder.co.uk can start with a container that you load yourself and give additional services.

Email Tessa at tessa.wade@georgebakershipping.com she came up with £500 incl VAT for transporting the car but there are charges at the other end of around £100 + customs clearance. The car would go from Southampton. She can also give a contact who will help with the importation documentation. I’ve emailed him but not had a reply yet.

Absolutely Fantastic Dave and Pam, thank you for that. Do you know anything about shipping the car across to Cyprus - Len AND Syl.

[Pam n Dave]

It seems easy and cheap to get a car to Cyprus. Then the fun can start as people seem to have a variety of experiences from good to terrible. I’m attempting to get the cost of an agent in Cyprus who can guide me through this.

[Len and Syl]

Pam n Dave, this is Len n Syl, I have got it touch with Tessa Wade George Bakers shipping, and she E-mails that it will cost £500incl VAT this includes custom clearance and UK THC and sea freight to Limassol. This is a weekly RORO service from Southampton, transit 13 days. But we will haveTHC and customs clearance charges of approx £100. They can not help on the registering or import duty. I haven't a clue what UK THC means or RORO because she has just vanished again. Still I have a Greek Cypriot friend here in York and he is sending a car to Cyprus and I will know all the bumf that goes with it. This I will pass on to you and to any other member veiwing. Maybe there is one rule for the natives and us Brits will be getting loads of hassle. Keep posted for future details. Len n Syl.

[Pam n Dave]

Len and Syl, your quote is on par with mine. THC I believe stands for Terminal Handling Charge and RO-RO stands for Roll on Roll off.

For me it makes it viable to take the cars but I would be interested to know how you and your friends get on once in Cyprus.

We are going to Cyprus next Wednesday for a couple of weeks and hoping to find something to rent once our house is sold. Pam n Dave.

[Len and Syl]

Have a great time in Cyprus. We will have to meet when we are both insitu in Cyprus. Probably have a KEO together. Len n Syl.
