Furniture and Car Shipping Company from Abu Dhabi to Türkiye | +971557643821 Sea and Air Freight

For an initial estimate:
send photos of all the contents, the pickup area in Abu Dhabi, the floor and elevator, the city required in Türkiye, the car’s details if there is one, and specify whether you need disassembly, packing, storage, delivery and assembly.

◆ Assessing the shipment’s volume before comparing prices

The first step in pricing is setting what will actually leave Abu Dhabi. The number of rooms isn’t enough to judge the volume, because a small home can hold more wardrobes, majlis seating, appliances and boxes than a larger property.

So every room, the contents of the cabinets and storeroom, the appliances and the large pieces must be photographed, then the things that will be sold or left behind decided before the packing begins.

▪ Deciding what deserves to travel to Türkiye

You may own a large piece of furniture that’s low in value or unsuitable for the new home. In that case its usefulness after arriving must be compared with the space, packing and handling it will consume.

This comparison matters most with furniture you plan to replace soon, while good, custom-made or personally valuable pieces are often well worth moving.

● Choosing the shipping method by the volume of the contents

Air freight isn’t usually an economical option for a whole home, and using a large container for a small shipment may not be the best solution either. The transport method must match the volume, the weight and the arrival date required.

So assessing the shipment comes before choosing the transport method, not the other way round.

★ The furniture’s volume after disassembly matters more than its shape inside the home

A large wardrobe while assembled holds empty space and is hard to stack, but after disassembly it can become regular panels. The same applies to some beds, desks, tables and storage units.

So correct disassembly can improve the use of space, provided the parts are numbered and the fittings kept in a way that prevents difficulty reassembling them in Türkiye.

◆ The number of boxes after emptying the cabinets

On the other hand, the furniture’s volume may drop after disassembly while the load grows because of the contents of the wardrobes, kitchen, bookcase and storeroom. These things don’t show clearly when the home is tidy, but they turn into many boxes once packed.

▪ The cost of collecting from the property

Collecting from a villa where the vehicle can park differs from a tower needing a service elevator booking and a long distance between the apartment’s door and the truck’s position. The more complex the handling, the more planning, time and labor it needs.

The best way to compare two quotes:
ask each company to make clear whether the price includes the pickup, the disassembly, the packing, the loading, the shipping, the clearance, the delivery inside Türkiye, the unloading and the assembly.

◆ The home preparation time

A complete villa needs more time than a limited apartment, especially with large wardrobes, appliances, majlis seating, glass, mirrors, TVs and a large amount of personal belongings.

▪ The packing and inventory time

The contents of drawers, the kitchen, the bookcase and the storeroom need separate packing, and the boxes must be numbered, linked to their rooms and the sensitive items identified before loading.

● The main transport time

It differs with sea freight, air freight or any other route adopted. And an estimate tied to the actual operating line at the time of booking must be obtained rather than relying on fixed general figures.

★ The procedures on arrival

After the shipment arrives, the procedures and inland distribution stage remains, and its duration differs by the type of load, how complete the documents are and the city the delivery is going to.

— Delivery to the Turkish city

Reaching the port or airport doesn’t mean the furniture is inside the home. If the destination is Ankara, Bursa, Antalya or another city, an inland transport stage may remain before the final delivery.

When asking about the shipping duration: ask for the estimate from collecting the furniture at the home’s door in Abu Dhabi to the delivery at the Turkish address, not the sailing or flight time alone.

◆ When is sea freight suitable?

It’s a logical option when the load is relatively large and the customer doesn’t need a very fast arrival, such as a whole home’s contents, office furniture, a car or bulky goods.

▪ A dedicated container

A dedicated container can be assessed when the amount of furniture is large or when the customer wants the load separated from other shipments. The suitable container size is set after the shipment is measured.

● Consolidated sea freight

When the load is limited, consolidated shipping can be studied where available, so the shipment uses part of a container instead of booking a full space. The price must be compared against the consolidation schedule and the arrival date.

— Protecting the load inside the container

The protection mustn’t rely on the outer packing alone; how the furniture is distributed, secured and kept from moving inside the container is a core element during the voyage.

★ Suitable for limited parcels

If the shipment holds a limited number of boxes or urgent personal needs, air transport can suit better than waiting for a large sea shipment.

◆ Weight and volume are key factors

Air freight cost is affected by the shipment’s data, so the parcels’ dimensions and weights must be known rather than settling for the number of boxes.

▪ Separate the urgent items from the whole home

In some moves the things needed immediately can be shipped faster, while the rest of the contents travel on the sea solution best suited to their volume.

— Don’t use speed as the only criterion

Compare the time difference with the cost difference and the size of the things you need immediately. Splitting the contents into an urgent shipment and a main one can be more efficient than using the fastest method for everything.

◆ Wooden furniture

The surfaces, corners, legs and handles are protected from friction and impact, and polished surfaces aren’t placed directly against hard pieces that could leave scratches during handling.

▪ Mirrors and glass

The focus is on the edges, corners and suitable reinforcement, then the piece is placed where it’s protected from direct weights and pressure.

● TVs

A screen is vulnerable to damage from pressure or twisting, so it must be secured in a way that keeps the panel straight, with no boxes or heavy furniture placed on top of it.

— Sofas and soft furnishings

They’re covered to protect them from dust and friction, with the legs or wooden and metal frames handled separately when needed.

★ Fridges and washing machines

The fridge and freezer are emptied, cleaned and dried before transport, while the washing machine has its water drained and its hoses and moving parts prepared before packing.

Don’t make packing the first place to save: it’s better to reduce the things you don’t need than to reduce the protection of the furniture you decided to pay to ship to Türkiye.

◆ Identifying the pieces that need dismantling

Pieces are dismantled when it delivers a clear benefit in getting them out of the home, reducing the volume or improving how they’re protected inside the container.

▪ Photographing the furniture before disassembly

Photos of wardrobes or custom-made pieces can be kept so they can be referred to during reassembly.

● Numbering the panels

All of an item’s panels carry the same code so the parts of two similar wardrobes or beds don’t get mixed up during transport and unloading.

★ Keeping the screws and hinges

Each item’s fittings are gathered in a separate container carrying the same code instead of collecting the whole home’s fittings in one box.

— Reassembly in Türkiye

If the service includes assembly, each group is directed to its room and the parts confirmed complete before the assembly starts.

◆ Shipping the car inside a container

Placing the vehicle inside a container gives a higher level of separation and protection than some open transport options, and it can suit vehicles whose owners prefer extra protection during the voyage.

▪ Sea transport options for vehicles

There are different sea methods for shipping cars, and the suitable option is set by the vehicle’s type, running condition, the port, the available schedule and the cost required.

● Sports and low cars

The car’s ground clearance and any modification to the bodywork must be mentioned before booking so the loading method is taken into account and it isn’t treated like an ordinary, relatively high vehicle.

— A non-running car

If the car doesn’t move under its own power, that must be made clear from the price request so the right handling equipment is identified.

★ Photographing the car before handover

It’s best to photograph the front, rear, sides and corners and record any visible scratch or mark, so the vehicle’s condition is clear before transport begins.

◆ Removing personal belongings

Important documents, money, devices and personal items are taken out, and the car isn’t used randomly to store extra boxes.

An important note for cars: the official requirements in force in Türkiye must be checked before shipping, because the vehicle’s eligibility to enter, how it can be used or registered and the documents required depend on the car’s and owner’s situation and the type of entry, and the regulations can change over time.

◆ A separate file for each type of contents

The furniture and car can be booked within one moving project, but the furniture keeps its inventory, boxes and packing, while the car has its own file of photos, details and transport method.

▪ Different arrival schedules are normal

The car may move on a different trip from the container holding the furniture, so the two dates must be managed by the customer’s needs rather than assuming everything arrives on the same day.

● Setting the customer’s priority

You may need the car first for work while the home is temporarily furnished, or you may need the beds and appliances before the vehicle. This priority helps choose a more suitable schedule.

◆ Setting the area inside Istanbul

Istanbul is a vast city, so the final address, the type of property, the floor and the elevator must be set, and the city’s name alone isn’t enough when asking for a full door-to-door quote.

▪ Preparing the building before delivery

Whether the transport vehicle can enter, the parking spot and the elevator or stairs must be known before the furniture arrives, so unloading doesn’t stop over information that could have been prepared in advance.

◆ Shipping to Ankara

If the destination is the capital, Ankara, the inland distribution stage must be counted in the schedule and the final property set before the service is confirmed.

▪ Shipping to Izmir

Shipping to Izmir can be organized by the type of load, the chosen method and the delivery address, with it made clear whether the service ends at an arrival point or inside the property.

● Shipping to Bursa

Bursa goes into the distribution plan from the start, with the amount of furniture, the type of home and the service level required all set.

— Shipping to Antalya

Moving furniture and cars to Antalya can be assessed by the shipping method, the final city and the services linked to the delivery.

★ Mersin and the coastal cities

Ports and coastal cities feature in some sea shipping lines to Türkiye, but the arrival point is chosen according to the shipping line, the nature of the shipment and the city where the customer will receive it.

◆ The room’s name on every box

Codes can be used for the bedroom, kitchen, majlis and office, so the delivery crew can direct every box to its place.

▪ A short description of the contents

A general description such as “books”, “kitchen tools”, “clothes” or “electronics” is written, without needing a long list on the box.

● A special mark for sensitive pieces

Boxes holding glass, breakable things or devices that can’t take pressure are marked so they’re clear during handling.

— Preparing the priority boxes

Set aside a small group for what you’ll need as soon as you arrive, such as some clothes, bedding, basic kitchen tools, chargers and children’s needs.

◆ Splitting the contents by department

The management, accounting, sales, IT and storeroom contents are separated so distributing them inside the new premises is easier.

▪ Protecting work devices

Computers, monitors, printers and other devices need packing separate from the ordinary chairs and desks.

● Setting what must run first

A priority mark can be put on the devices and desks needed to start work on the first day, so reaching them during unloading is faster.

— Reviewing the Turkish premises before shipping

The premises’ size, the furniture entrances, the elevators and the places where the desks will be installed must be known before every piece is moved from Abu Dhabi, so units that don’t suit the new site don’t arrive.

◆ Recording the dimensions and weight

The number of boxes alone isn’t enough. The packages’ dimensions and weights must be recorded so the shipping method is chosen and the space calculated more accurately.

▪ The nature of the goods

The type of goods must be set clearly, because the documents and requirements differ with the contents.

● Stackability

If the packages can take boxes on top, the vertical space can be used better, while fragile goods need an area that doesn’t take extra pressure.

— Preparing the warehouse on arrival

The receiving hours, the warehouse gate, the availability of unloading equipment and the vehicle’s entry point are set before the delivery date.

◆ The equipment’s actual weight

Choosing the transport method starts with a reliable weight for the equipment, not a visual estimate, especially for industrial machines.

▪ The dimensions in the condition it will travel in

All the fixed parts, bases and protruding components are measured so the load’s actual dimensions are known.

● Lifting and securing points

The safe lifting points and the center of gravity are identified when needed so the equipment’s weight isn’t loaded onto parts not designed for it.

— Preparing the unloading site

The gate’s width and height, the maneuvering space and the crane or forklift required must be known before the equipment arrives.

For shipping equipment: send the weight, the dimensions, photos, the pickup location, the arrival site’s measurements and the lifting and unloading method available.

◆ Storage before departure

The customer may need to leave their Abu Dhabi home before the sailing date or before the Turkish home is ready, and here storage can go into the schedule.

▪ Storage after arrival

If the shipment arrives before the final property is ready, temporary storage can be studied before the delivery date is set.

● Preparing the furniture for the storage period

The appliances and soft furnishings are clean and dry, and no food or perishable items are left inside the boxes.

— The inventory numbers continue

The box codes and furniture groups don’t change during storage so the follow-up stays clear when it’s reloaded.

Always keep with you: passports, original documents, money, jewelry, medicines, computers, phones and the things you need daily.

◆ Sort the contents before packing

Every piece excluded before packing saves space, materials and labor, so early sorting is better than getting rid of things after they arrive in Türkiye.

▪ Start with the bulky, rarely used furniture

The large sofa or the cabinet you won’t use can save more space than excluding a large number of small things.

● Use disassembly when it genuinely reduces the volume

Disassembly isn’t a goal in itself; it’s used when it makes the piece smaller or easier to handle and protect.

— Compare sea and air only for the suitable part

If you have some urgent things, that doesn’t mean using the faster transport for the whole home. A different solution can be assessed for each part of the load.

★ Put the final city into the price

A price to an arrival point alone isn’t enough for comparison if you need delivery inside a home in Ankara, Bursa or Antalya.

Professional saving: reduce the space you don’t need and the services you don’t need, but don’t lower the protection of the glass, TVs and furniture you chose to keep.

◆ Approving the final list

The pieces to be shipped must be set before the workers arrive, especially the large things that can noticeably change the shipment’s volume.

▪ Creating an area that isn’t part of the shipment

Put the travel bags, passports, medicines, personal devices, keys and money in a clear room or corner so they aren’t packed by mistake.

● Preparing the appliances

The fridges and freezer are emptied, cleaned and dried, and the washing machines and hoses prepared before the packing crew arrives.

— Coordinating with the building’s management

If the home is in a tower or compound, confirm the service elevator times, the transport vehicle’s parking spot and any instructions for moving furniture.

★ Preparing the car

The belongings are removed, the vehicle photographed, its details prepared and its condition reviewed before handover.

◆ Pickup confirmed

It means the load, the addresses and the services have been approved and the actual execution stage has begun.

▪ Preparation complete

The furniture has been packed, the boxes numbered and the load prepared for transport.

● The shipping trip begins

The shipment has moved according to the method and the approved operating line.

— The shipment arrives in Türkiye

The load has moved into the procedures and inland distribution stage, which doesn’t necessarily mean it has reached the home at the same moment.

★ Delivery to the address

The consignee is contacted and the building, elevator and parking spot prepared before the vehicle reaches the property.

◆ Reviewing the inventory

The furniture groups, main boxes and sensitive items are confirmed during the delivery.

▪ Bringing in the large pieces first

The beds, wardrobes, sofas and large appliances go in before the boxes spread through the corridors and rooms.

● Distributing the boxes by room

The inventory system lets the kitchen box go to the kitchen and the bedroom’s to its room instead of gathering the whole load in the living room.

— Reassembling the furniture

If the service is included, the panels, screws and hinges are confirmed complete and then the pieces are assembled in their places.

★ Checking the sensitive items

Glass, mirrors, TVs and polished furniture are checked early during the delivery.

◆ Assessing and surveying the contents

The furniture’s volume, the type of pieces, the city required and the services are set before the suitable shipping method is chosen.

▪ Furniture disassembly and preparing the parts

The suitable pieces can be dismantled with the panels and fittings numbered to make transport and reassembly easier.

● Professional packing

The protection is set according to the nature of the wood, glass, TVs, soft furnishings and appliances.

— Sea freight

The sea solution can be assessed for large loads, furniture and cars according to the volume, the destination and the date.

★ Air freight

It’s used for limited shipments when speed is a key factor in the decision.

◆ Car shipping

The vehicle is assessed and the transport method chosen by its type, condition and the Turkish destination.

▪ Moving offices and companies

The furniture, devices and files can be organized by department and operating priority.

● Shipping goods and equipment

The service is set by the dimensions, weights, the nature of the load and the lifting and unloading requirements.

★ Storage when needed

Storage can be built into the moving plan when the home’s dates or the shipping line’s schedule differ.

◆ Delivery to Türkiye’s cities

Delivery can be assessed to Istanbul, Ankara, Izmir, Bursa, Antalya, Mersin and other cities according to the operating route and the final address.

To prepare the shipping request: send the pickup area in Abu Dhabi + photos of the furniture + the floor and elevator + the Turkish city + the car’s details + any goods or equipment + the services required.
