We're about to order some medium-sized items for delivery from the UK to Crete. Unfortunately the seller has very high overseas carriage prices. In the course of looking for a suitable independant carrier, we came across this outfit:
http://nomad-international.com/parcels-and-shopping/crete-express/

The company seems mostly to do removals, but will also offers an overland delivery service from their Peterborough wharehouse to Vamos, Crete. Simply order your goods, have them sent to Peterborough, and they'll truck them to a depot near Chania. From their they can be collected, or delivered to specific addresses. Prices seem very reasonable; it's by volume only: no weight calculation providing the package can safely be lifted by two men. (Anchor chain, anyone...?)

So, as well as wanting to bring the facility to forumites' attention, I'm asking if anyone has had any dealings with Nomad International, good or bad. I've searched and can find no previous mention of them.

I haven't used them personally but I have a good friend who has used them several times and found them to be excellent. AFAIK the prices they quote are for delivery to Vamos, if you want it delivered somewhere else on Crete it's extra. You can collect yourself from Vamos though.

Many thanks, Tony. I should have known just to ask you in the first place :ambivalence:
Yes, I'd assumed the onward-from-Vamos bit was extra.

Now do you happen to know if they ship sunshine in the opposite direction....
