Default Container to Cyprus

I recently bought a house in Cyprus ( Kouklia ) and want to ship out some household goods. The prices I have been quoted for a container seem to be less than paying for a part load on a consolidated shipping container but I don't have enough to fill a 20ft container. Is there anyone who wants to move goods from UK to Cyprus and wants to share the cost. I probably have around 600 cuft to ship and a 20ft container is approx 1200 cuft. I am aiming to ship towards the end of February and I am based in Kent (between Hawkhurst and Tenterden) and would have the container at my property for loading and delivered to my house in Kouklia

When we moved out, our removal company arranged for us to share a container with a couple of other people coming to Cyprus. They did all the donkey work and by the time they came and packed up our stuff the rest of the container was ready, and our stuff was shipped out shortly after. Worked a treat. If you want details, they are in my "55 Days in Bexhill" thread.

That is very cheap compared to quotes I have? Does this Include packing and delivery at other end? Who are the company - I need to speak to them quickly as I move in April?!!

Good luck with your move.

Hi!

As He states in his post the cargo is a Van so no packing would be needed.
