UK to Cyprus Pallet Delivery, Built for Island Logistics
Shipping to Cyprus is different from shipping to mainland Europe. As an island EU member state in the Eastern Mediterranean, most road freight includes a sea leg, and service planning matters.Pallet2Ship gives you clear service choices, realistic transit times, and practical support on packing and customs paperwork.
You can compare services in one place, see the full cost and get an instant online quote before booking, and manage shipments online 24/7. We handle standard pallets, mixed consignments, and oversized pallets, with services available both to and from Cyprus.

Services Between the UK and Cyprus
Air Freight (Fastest & Most Predictable)For Cyprus, air freight is often the most reliable option because it avoids port handling and sailing schedules.
- Express air – typically 2–4 working days door-to-door
- Economy air – typically 3–5 working days where timing allows
- Suitable for pallets and parcels
- Ideal for urgent, high-value or time-sensitive shipments
Air cargo commonly routes via Larnaca (LCA), and sometimes Paphos depending on service.
If speed and predictability matter, air freight is usually the smart choice for Cyprus.
Road + Sea Routing (Cost-Focused Option)
Most cost-effective pallet movements to Cyprus follow this structure:
UK collection → European linehaul → sea leg → Cyprus delivery network
- Economy groupage – typically 7–12 working days (subject to sailing schedules)
- Express routing (where available) – typically 5–8 working days
Because Cyprus is an island, delivery times depend on sailing schedules, port handling, and customs clearance.
Part & Full Loads (LTL / FTL)
- LTL (part load) – multiple pallets without needing a full vehicle
- FTL (full load) – dedicated vehicle movements (commonly 8–26 pallets)
- Suitable for oversized pallets and heavier freight
Some LTL/FTL services do not provide automated tracking. Live shipment updates can be requested during business hours.
Primary commercial ports include Limassol and Larnaca.

- Small parcels and bulky cartons
