shipping furniture to the uk
« on: September 19, 2013, 08:04:51 AM »
hi.
As a plan B for the future we may decide to go back to the UK. Does  anyone know of good reliable removal company we could use. Don't want to wave goodbye to my worldly goods!!!.
Do the white goods in turkey work ok in uk if you have an adapter on them for uk sockets?
thanks

All your white goods will work and any other electrical items as they are the same voltage just change the plugs to a uk 3 pin type.

Take 2 or 3 Turkish trailing leads with 3 or 4 sockets and then you've only got 1 UK plug to put on.  ;)

What sort of volume are you looking at?

A van load, a small lorry load, the entire contents of a villa ?
