You could try a quote from SBA a Turkish removal company with UK and American bases, their representative Bahadir Turkeli is based in Izmir on 0555 968 73 99 or email bahadirturkeli@sbatransport.com or bahadirturkeli@sbamoving.com.
Alternatively visit their website at
www.sbaizmir.com This company sponsors F.I.G. I have no experience of their overall expertise, apart from the ready help we received getting thigs delivered from Izmir and have had no feedback from those who have used them, Their website looks good and it just strikes me that being largely Turkish they would know their way around the beurocracy over here.
Our move here by Bishops cost something over £3,000,
10 years ago and we took over the unloading and ongoing transport once the container reached Izmir and that was 'difficult' but nothing stolen. Fortunately my Turkish husband had the help of a friend from Izmir who knew how to handle the more capricious activities of the officials, otherwise fur might have flown, proverbially at least!
There were tales of some folk abandoning their goods in Izmir as the red tape was too difficult and yes everything, every single item has to be listed! And after all that over two days, after all the papers accepted all the forms signed all the fees paid the official opening the gate out of the dockyard asked for yet another a fee. Can't remember if he got it!
