Cost of shipping Pallets to Greece
The price for shipping pallets to and from Greece can be surprisingly cheap with small, light pallets under around 200kg costing as little as £150. Equally if your pallets are long or ‘oversized’ our network of international carriers can offer outstanding value for money. Importing tends to cost more than exporting and some of our clients prefer to take control of their transport as opposed to leaving it to their supplier to provide pallet delivery ‘Ex Works’ meaning that the supplier has arranged transport.
The UK is a popular destination for international students and many Greek nationals choose to study here. Shipping personal effects and managing the challenges of student accommodation can be a challenge however our experienced (greek speaking) team have the experience needed to get your belongings safely across borders.
Licences are needed to export:
- Military and paramilitary goods
- Dual-use and technology – such as machine tools, computers and marine equipment
- Artworks
- Plants
- Animals
- Medicines
- Chemicals
It is good practice to send a copy of the invoice with the goods, if unforseen difficulties arise this documentation will be used to identify both parties involved in the transaction and issues can be resolved.

Next day pallet delivery
If you need a next day delivery to Greece this will require a dedicated vehicle which will come at a premium price. To get a good price for a next day service it is worth getting several quotes directly from hauliers, to begin your search I recommend you start on directories like yell.com and search their road haulage services section.

'Standard Pallets' are 120x100cm and 'Euro Pallets' are 120x80cm. Anything bigger than this would be classed as oversized or if your goods overhang the pallet (not recommended unless the goods are sturdy) it would also be classed as oversized. If possible it is best to keep the height to a maximum of 220cm as anything taller may not fit through the doors of many standard vehicles. Our oversized pallet quotes are calculated on the exact measurements of your load so you will not pay for more space that you use.
