Anybody had any experience of this international mover. I have had a quote from them and other movers, theirs is considerably cheaper and came with information about bandrol tax as well, none of the others mention it, the spiel is good, just wondered if anybody could back up their claims.

Find out who is doing the destination services as it wont be van lines themselves. They will use a Turkish agent and I know nearly all of them.

would be interesting to hear a rough idea of cost and if it is worth it?

Worth investigating for a link on here?

Oh, and they are more than 25% cheaper than Britannia.

they quoted us door to door, they never told us we would have to go to izmir to clear our goods through customs. there agent wanted 2000ytl to get our goods cleared. we paid for unpacking and rubish to be taken away..
and the price I ended up paying was far in excess of what I was qquoted. I am now claiming in the courts against european van lines...
Buyer beware.

Thanks for the info, but I think you will find it is standard practice to go to Izmir to clear customs for everybody. The unpacking and removal of rubbish I will check on though, as Britannia did include that service in the price. I always expected to have to pay to remove shipment from customs, as I have found that information on this forum.

Just re-read the quote from EVL and it states,

 "Our agent will arrange customs clearance and delivery of your shipment on arrival. The service includes delivery to your residence, unpacking, unwrap, and removal of waste packing materials. Contact details will be provided prior to your departure from the UK."

If thats what your quote stated barry44544, then I reckon you have a good case. Mind you I did ask for door to door with packing and unpacking service.

Baz,

Not a subject I know too much about, but the piece you quoted doesn't confirm that you won't have to pay 2000 YTL to get the goods cleared, it just says they will arrange the clearance.
