If goods leaving Elgin for Greece needs to leave the UK intact rather than merely leave the UK, this is the managed collection, packing and shipping service that handles it end to end.
We collect across Elgin and the surrounding areas, including Elgin, Forres, Lossiemouth, Buckie and Keith.
From Elgin the load runs via Eurotunnel or Dover–Calais, then Italy and the Ancona or Bari ferry to Patras, then the A8 to Athens or the northern corridor to Thessaloniki. Typical transit into Greece is 5–7 days.
Where we think another option is better value for you, we say so. That is why customers come back rather than shop around again.

Collecting in Elgin
Business collections are routine in Elgin Town Centre, Pinefield Industrial and Linkwood, where loading windows and access rules are usually the deciding factor rather than the goods themselves.
Our route out of Elgin uses A96, A941 and Scotrail, which is why we can give you a realistic departure time rather than a vague window.
If your address is near Elgin Cathedral, Johnstons of Elgin and Glen Moray Distillery, tell us — parking and access there shape the vehicle we send.

How we pack before anything leaves
Packing happens at your Elgin 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
