Our managed collection, packing and shipping service exists for goods leaving Aberystwyth for Albania: goods that need proper packing and export preparation before they travel, not a bare label and a conveyor belt.
We collect across Aberystwyth and the surrounding areas, including Aberystwyth, Lampeter, Tregaron and Borth.
From Aberystwyth the load runs via Eurotunnel or Dover–Calais, then Italy and the Adriatic ferry to Durrës, or overland via the Balkans, then the SH2 to Tirana and regional roads onward. Typical transit into Albania is 5–7 days.
Guide prices start at £195, and the final figure depends on collection location, destination, dimensions, weight, declared value, packing complexity, urgency and any special requirements.

Collecting in Aberystwyth
Business collections are routine in Aberystwyth Town Centre and Glanyrafon Industrial, where loading windows and access rules are usually the deciding factor rather than the goods themselves.
Our route out of Aberystwyth uses A487, A44 and A4120, which is why we can give you a realistic departure time rather than a vague window.
If your address is near National Library of Wales, Aberystwyth Castle and Constitution Hill, tell us — parking and access there shape the vehicle we send.

How we pack before anything leaves
Packing happens at your Aberystwyth address, not at a depot. Materials are selected for the item and for the ferry or tunnel crossing ahead of it.
- Survey of the item before we quote so the packing spec is right first time
- Double-wall cartons, edge protection and corner boards for rigid goods
- Foam, bubble and blanket wrap chosen by material, not by habit
- Palletising and strapping where the load benefits from it
The route to Albania
Eurotunnel or Dover–Calais, then Italy and the Adriatic ferry to Durrës, or overland via the Balkans, then the SH2 to Tirana and regional roads onward. That is roughly 1,650 road miles from London to Tirana, adjusted for your Aberystwyth collection point.
Outside the EU — an Albanian import declaration is required and goods are assessed on entry. The Adriatic ferry leg fixes part of the schedule.
Delivering in Albania
Road quality varies sharply outside the main corridors. Rural delivery is planned with extra time.

Frequently asked questions
How long does shipping from Aberystwyth to Albania take?

Will you pack everything for me?
Yes. We arrive with cartons, foam, blankets, boards and strapping and pack at your address. If you have already packed and want us to check the work before export, we will do that instead and tell you honestly whether it will survive the journey.
