Dalaman Internation Airport Oversized Luggage

[Ray1951]

It never fails to amaze me just how shop keepers can fold items better than us. I bought a rug before thinking about size and problems at the airport. The shop keeper promptly worked his magic and I had no problems.  On getting home, after my journey, I tried to do as the shop keeper had done - NO luck.  Answer MAGIC. Ha ha ha.

We've brought a couple of items through from the UK - Gatwick - to Dalaman, and have found that the oversized boxes were left at the side of the carousel, not a problem.  The only problem you might find is the tax man/customes man approaching you at this collection point - rather than at the exit - to see what you are bringing in, and whether you should be paying tax.  If the item is below a £100 value (excluding VAT) they will wave you on, particularly if you have a UK receipt for the item on hand, and you tell them that it is a wedding gift  .  As the items we have brought have all fallen into this category, we've had no problem, but for non gifts, or not new items, or without a receipt or above a £100 (excluding VAT) I can't say what they will do or indeed charge.

About 8 years ago in our ignorance we brought a microwave oven over. We wrapped the box in a bin bag or something similar to disguise its contents. The box was placed by the carousel. We were stopped by the door by the customs and I acted as daft as I could (which does not come to difficult at times) We were waved on

We were waved on

Was it just a micro wave on?
