Hello
I live in Girne and wanted to no if any one offers a weekly service to collect shopping from Alphamega and bring it to Girne.
I am of the understanding they offer a click and collect service.
Thanks in advance

There used to be a couple of people that offered this sort of service a few years ago. Not click and collect. Just a shopping list given to the person going over. One of them stopped because people changed their minds and wouldn’t pay for the goods brought over. Others stopped too but I am not sure why

I think most people ask friends who go over now. Might also be problems at the crossing if customs decide to check what has been bought. There are restrictions on what can be brought over and the cost.

Kedikat2003 summed it up. What if they were stopped at customs, and it was confiscated, would you still pay for it? That is why we do not bring groceries, etc for anyone.

I only want a few things weekly or bi weekly. Happy to pay in advance and cash on top. If customs stopped then I would not ask for the funds back.
Thank you
