Heraklion arrival and your final Crete address

Heraklion is the proposed arrival gateway for this guide, not a promise that every Crete address has the same delivery time. Send the hotel, villa, business or home address and the town. An airport meeting, a city handover and an onward journey to a resort must be assessed separately.

For a resort or holiday rental, include the booking name, reception hours, an entrance description and a working contact number. Tell us whether a receptionist or property manager may receive the item. A building being open does not mean your intended recipient is available.

Request your Heraklion / Crete delivery plan

Send the item, London collection postcode, earliest ready time, full destination and latest acceptable handover time. For goods, include packed dimensions and weight. We confirm suitability, travel availability and the total quote before you book.

Once the booking is confirmed, collection, travel updates and proof of delivery are agreed for the job. Do not send payment or sensitive document images until the arrangement has been confirmed with Direct Carry.

When a traveller needs their existing passport

When a traveller needs their existing passport

Tell us where the traveller will actually be and the date and local time of their next departure. We deliver an existing passport that someone can release in the UK; we do not issue replacement travel documents or promise that an airline will accept a traveller.

Do not rely on a handover beyond airport security. Any proposed airport meeting must have an agreed accessible location and sufficient time before the traveller needs to check in. For forgotten keys, identify the authorised recipient without displaying personal address details on the packaging unnecessarily.

Choose the whole journey, not just the flight

Choose the whole journey, not just the flight

We compare departures the courier can reach after collection, check accepted baggage arrangements and assess the final transfer. A direct service is used only when it is available and suitable for the requested date; connecting travel needs its own timing assessment.

A landing time is not a delivery time. Collection access, airport processing, the onward journey and the receiving window all matter. Tell us whether the deadline is an appointment, an office closure or a departure, and use the recipient's local time.

What we can assess for hand carry

What we can assess for hand carry

Original paperwork, existing passports, keys and eligible small personal or business items can be assessed. For goods, send an accurate contents description, packed dimensions, weight and value, including any batteries, liquids or special handling needs. Dangerous goods are not accepted.

The quote is for the agreed journey and handover. A second stop, signature collection or return journey needs to be included before booking. We confirm the proposed route, item acceptance and total price rather than publish a fixed fare for every request.
