Freight to and from Croatia
John Shirley has over 15 years experience dealing with shipments to Croatia and it is one of our core areas for our operations - we speak the local language. We use Croatian and Slovenian hauliers with direct deliveries where possible, or send loads via our hub in Slovenia. Since Croatia is a crescent shaped country with a long coastline full of shipyards, we effect regular collections from the Dalmatian coast from towns such as Split, Dubrovnik, Zadar and Rijeka.
Direct service for full loads with transit time of about 5 days. Part loads via our hub in Slovenia with transit time 7-8 days.
Croatia, UK Imports
John Shirley regularly arranges the shipment of part loads from Croatia and Britain, recently developing partnerships with clients seeking regular movements. We have regularly loaded at Zadar, Rijeka, and Zagreb for destinations such as North Kent, Birmingham and Wednesbury.
Personal effects to Croatia
We have already arranged several personal effects shipments to Croatia from the UK this year, ranging from less than a pallet to half a full load. Although we are not an international removals company, we are able to offer a service to clients wishing to sent their personal effects using a more cost effective method. Given the ability of customers to load and pack their items, we have been able to offer a limited door-to-door service.
