Packing and shipping goods leaving Penzance for Croatia is one job, not three suppliers. We survey it, pack it properly, arrange the right shipping method, and manage it through to delivery.
We collect across Penzance and the surrounding areas, including Penzance, St Ives, Hayle, Helston and Marazion.
From Penzance the load runs via Eurotunnel or Dover–Calais, then France, Italy or Austria and Slovenia into Croatia, then the A1 coastal motorway or the A3 to Zagreb and Slavonia. Typical transit into Croatia is 3–5 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 Penzance
Business collections are routine in Penzance Town Centre, Long Rock Industrial and Eastern Green, where loading windows and access rules are usually the deciding factor rather than the goods themselves.
Our route out of Penzance uses A30, A394 and Great Western Railway, which is why we can give you a realistic departure time rather than a vague window.
If your address is near St Michael's Mount, Minack Theatre and Tate St Ives, tell us — parking and access there shape the vehicle we send.

How we pack before anything leaves
Packing happens at your Penzance 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 Croatia
Eurotunnel or Dover–Calais, then France, Italy or Austria and Slovenia into Croatia, then the A1 coastal motorway or the A3 to Zagreb and Slavonia. That is roughly 1,050 road miles from London to Zagreb, adjusted for your Penzance collection point.
Export declaration and Croatian import entry. Croatia is in the EU and the Schengen area, which simplifies the final legs.
Delivering in Croatia
Dalmatian island addresses need a local ferry leg, and Dubrovnik's old town is pedestrianised. Both change the delivery plan.

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.
