Why a dedicated van to Sparta beats a pallet network
Where pallet networks add depot days and paperwork risk, one van and one driver stay on the same job from UK collection to Greece delivery.
From a mainland-UK collection point to Sparta we ship via ferry from ancona/bari to igoumenitsa/patras, with legal driver rest scheduled under EU tachograph rules. Typical door-to-door around 7 days. No hub, no reload, no shared trailer — the same driver you meet at pickup delivers in Sparta.
