EwePack Shipping Services - Whole homes can be loaded direct at your current property in a sole-use container and shipped on the next departure to your new Greek or Island home. We offer the Self-Load option as well as the EwePack Premium service.

Part homes can be shipped in the EwePack Share a Load service. Your options here include loose packed loads (for Cyprus only) or your own EwePack Lift-Van for maximum security of your goods. The Lift-Vans are basically a small wooden container you can pack yourself; these are then loaded with others in a shared container destined for the same port of arrival. These can be shipped to any Greek destination.

Our EwePack Baggage shipping is available for smaller carton and bag-only shipments. These are loaded in the same shipping containers as the share A Load consignments, although we do also offer an Airfreight Express and Roadfreight options.

Regular Ports of Arrival

• Athens (Pireaus) – for oncarriage to all destinations

• Limassol - for Cyprus destinations

• Famagusta – for Northern Cyprus (Turkish side)

Arrival Services - we can arrange customs and quarantine clearance, storage and delivery to your new home. In fact if you choose the part-load services, it’s usually cheaper to prepay in the UK as our agents give a cost benefit to you for the part-loads. Likewise for the sole-use containers, we can fix the clearance and delivery charges by pre-paying everything for your peace of mind.

Transit Times to Greece and the Islands vary depending on the final destination, time of year and any delays en route. As a guideline you can allow the following approximate timescales for your overseas move, but if you call, we can usually give you a next scheduled departure date for all of the services available:
