You’re not just a number to us.

Big freight companies have systems. We have relationships.

What sets us apart is a boutique approach to shipping. With us, you’re not a number in the system or just another enquiry in the queue. We give every shipment the same attention — whether it’s a single pallet, a regular route or a full truckload. We address situations before they become problems and keep you informed about the status of your shipment. So you can have peace of mind.

Boutique approach

Even a small client is a VIP with us. We design a tailored solution, select the optimal route and give the same attention to a single pallet as to a full truckload.

Personal approach

When you call, we pick up the phone. When you have a problem, we solve it with you, not instead of you. We’re a partner, not just a supplier. We communicate fairly, clearly and with respect.

Receivables and payables management

Freight transport to/from Turkey has a specific status among third countries, with the main difference being the trade agreement between Turkey and the EU allowing entities to export or import goods without customs duty obligation. The basis for such trade is the ATR document, allowing the client to claim 0% duty on the shipment.

After contacting edysea and providing the necessary input data, the client receives a price calculation for the transport of their shipment (whether as a full truckload or partial shipment – for import or export), and after accepting the offer, the actual transport planning can begin.

Subsequently, the transport itself can be carried out, during which the client is informed daily about the movement of the shipment.

Info: Email reporting on shipment movement is a highly valued service by edysea clients. Information about the vehicle arriving for loading, its subsequent movement, and the estimated transit or delivery time to Turkey allow the client to plan further operations while having a sense of security and confidence.

Generally, the required documentation includes a transport invoice, packing list, CMR consignment note, and in some cases specific permits or certificates depending on the type of goods. We always inform our clients in advance about any specific documentary requirements for transport to Turkey.

Partial shipment transport via groupage service to/from Turkey is a highly sought-after service by our clients and is experiencing constant growth.
Partial shipments are mostly loaded and consolidated during the working week, and are generally dispatched by groupage vehicles at the end of the week and delivered the following one. Exceptionally, however, lines also depart on other days of the week.
Example: A shipment will be ready for loading in the European part of Istanbul on Tuesday, after transport approval we will pick up the shipment from the client and transport it to the consolidation warehouse, from where it will be dispatched on Friday by groupage capacity.

The greatest advantage is of course the savings on the client’s funds.
On the other hand, the disadvantage of this type of shipment transport is a longer delivery time – but also the fact that the client does not have full control over the shipment and its delivery as it shares the vehicle’s cargo space with other parties and has no direct influence on their shipments and any problems that may arise and thus cause delays in their shipment.

It is not possible to precisely determine the unit price per kilometer for Turkey, as a large number of variables enter into the pricing. Prices vary between express and partial transport, whether it is import or export, and what type of goods is being transported. We recommend contacting us for a specific price calculation tailored to your needs.

The approximate price for this type of solution differs between express and partial transport. For partial transport, the price may also vary depending on whether it is a groupage service or a co-load. Therefore, we recommend contacting us at cenovaponuka@edysea.sk with the specific parameters of your shipment, and we will prepare a tailored price quotation for you.

Our company operates hundreds of capacities that are ready every day to deliver your shipment in both directions. In general, the transit time from Slovakia to Turkey and from Turkey to Slovakia depends on the specific destination and type of transport capacity.

Freight Transport to/from Slovakia

Turkey, or the Turkish Republic, is a Eurasian country located mainly on the Anatolian peninsula in Western Asia, with a smaller part on the Balkan peninsula in Southeastern Europe. Eastern Thrace, the part of Turkey in Europe, is separated from Anatolia by the Sea of Marmara, the Bosphorus and the Dardanelles. edysea is an expert in transport to/from Turkey and provides long-standing expertise and experience to its clients, delivering comprehensive services within shipment transport on the line to Turkey or from Turkey.
We transport shipments to both the European and Asian parts of Turkey, with Istanbul being without a doubt the most common transport destination. However, we also deliver and load shipments in cities such as Adana, Alanya, Antalya, Konya, Ankara, Eskisehir, Izmir, Balikeshir, and many others. Within the export/import balance for shipment transport within Turkey, import from Turkey is significantly stronger. The reason is primarily the focus of the Turkish economy on manufacturing. It is of high quality and offers many opportunities for traders from the European Union, with the added advantage of the possibility of importing goods without applying import duty. (ATR document)

Tip
In case delivery speed is important to you and you don’t want to be limited by the number of available capacities – don’t schedule the loading of your shipment for Friday, when most capacities are already planned, which automatically limits your options.
