A couple of years ago Dolphin movers were advertising overland removals. It takes about a week door to door. If you look in the search engine you should be able to get their contact details up.

We used Olaytrans for part container of some quite bulky furniture, few boxes fragile stuff. Collected on 11th November,arrived at address in UK on 22nd December. 4600TL including total loss insurance. Did our own packing. Bought boxes,tape, bubble wrap & heavy duty cling film from Leroy Merlin in the south. Boxes are available this side which I hadn't realized. Olaytrans 03923653430.

And they managed to "lose" all of my goods.

Very unfortunate kaiserphil. Speaking as I find. They were actually my grandsons goods,I took responsibility for packing etc. we were kept informed from collection to drop off. Do hope you had a positive outcome.

Well, they gave me my money back, which was something. But how can you replace things like photos of your kids growing up?

I suspect they know quite well where they went, as they fired an employee after they disappeared.

OMG. I've heard some terrible tales of woe. Originally, was trying to contact Hire-It in Catalkoy but office is shut now. Contacted Dolphin twice (one a visit to the office, once on the telephone) Both times were were told someone would contact us to arrange a visit but no-one ever did. Not a good way to conduct business, Dolphin!!! So, we have ended up with Olay-Trans and hope for a successful outcome. Wish us luck!!!!
