Failing finding anyone who is coming across.
Cheapest is Royal Mail Tracked. We got one in 3 weeks. Send it to your local Post Office where they may make you open it in their presence to ensure it is nothing that can be taxed or illegal.
DHL and the like is expensive.
Many people will tell you of the risk that stuff won't arrive but that is a chance you take sending anything in the post anywhere in the World.

You could use Angel Wing Transfers - get it delivered to the South then they bring it over and deliver to you?
I used them for a laptop and it was a good service

We used this method and took 12 days but I did pop in the local post office to warn them. I also put my phone number as part of the addressChriswright03 wrote: ↑Fri 26 Mar 2021 8:31 amFailing finding anyone who is coming across.

Has anyone done this out Tatlisu area, and if so, which post office was it sent to? We don't have a PO here, mail goes to the Bele office to be picked up.

KMR logistics are very good, cost is £5 for an envelope delivered to the door, highly reccomended.

Re: How to get small parcel from uk now
any problems with customs? Did you have to deliver the suitcase to a place in the UK for KMR to collect?

Re: How to get small parcel from uk now
Sorry to be pedantic but the real cost is £30 + whatever it costs to get it to KMR in North London? I would imagine it is fairly expensive to send a 30kg suitcase in the UK?

Re: How to get small parcel from uk now
My daughter posted a large jiffy bag in Torquay via international track and trace yesterday afternoon, cost £14.60 including insurance. I had 2 items sent in October both took between 3 and 4 weeks to get here, 1 week getting out of UK and 1 week in Cyprus. Hoping it'll be quicker this time. They can be tracked all the way to Girne using following websites :
UK https://www3.royalmail.com/track-your-item#/
Turkey https://gonderitakip.ptt.gov.tr/
TRNC http://gonderitakip.gov.ct.tr

Re: How to get small parcel from uk now
My parcel arrived in Esentepe today, 16 days after posting, it arrived in Girne on 19th so took 13 days to get on the island. Everything intact, 5TL to pay this end. Fantastic as our printer ink ran out on Tuesday and we now have a new supply.

Re: How to get small parcel from uk now
For information: Phone KMR yesterday for information and was informed that the road service is temporarily halted due problems with EU paperwork - another casualty of Brexit - so everything coming by sea now, next sailing 28th April then 12th May. Very helpful guy and lots of information on what can and can't be sent and maximum size of box that can be sent as well. Best advice is to phone him yourself and get up to date information as things change fast out here but I will be using them in the future.
As for UK Postal - my friend sent me a package yesterday via Royal Mail - 2.215Kg. He used the postal collection service but was still charged for that service although it is supposed to be free till May. The guy who collected the package did not have any "Tracking" labels on his van so he could not send the package tracked. Total cost of postage was £39.97 and insurance only covers the first £50. As this package is not "Tracked" I seriously doubt if I will ever see it arrive here as most "Untracked" items appear to vanish into the dark hole under Girne Main Post Office, never to be seen again, but I live in hope.

My parcel was addressed in this format:
A. Person
PK99 (post office box, if appropriate)
Mutlu Sokak 123
Esentepe
Girne
Mersin 10
Turkey

Phone number
The Post Office workers put a note in our PO box and didn't phone but there was an indication on the tracking system that it had been sent to Esentepe.

Re: How to get small parcel from uk now
I know the question was UK to TRNC, but I thought people might be interested to learn the reverse. We posted envelope on 16th April, using TRNC tracking system, a letter which arrived at its destination in UK on 21st. For an extra 25tl, you really can't fault that can you?

Re: How to get small parcel from uk now
Can't fault it at all - probably because it did not go via the Girne customs black hole - lol. "C" my address was the same as come_on_aylin address apart from the PO Box number, the town name and the address name - probably why I never got it yet - lol. Hope the gloves fit however has them.....

it was so much easier when the South was accessible.
KMR take a month now, thanks to Brexit, however a small jiffy would cost about a fiver,

Re: How to get small parcel from uk now
The moral of the story is to never give up hope!!! Today the postman at Catalkoy phoned me to say I had a packet waiting for my collection. Rushed down in the hopes it was a parcel that my buddy in UK had posted to me two weeks ago - jar of marmite inside - but sadly it was not.
However, what was waiting for me was a packet containing four pairs of gloves that had been posted from UK on the 18th of February 2021! Could not say where it has been for the last 69 days but it finally made it through the dark hole of Girne Post Office and what is more - the gloves fit - bonus.

Can he deliver from the uk to here? And would it be cheaper than the £10 I paid in total for my Jiffy bag.
