transporting effects./ goods to Glasgow

[velebit]

Has anybody got any information on potential options as to how to get some personal effects back to Glasgow..from Zadar?
I recall, some years ago, conversations about the subject of getting items back to the UK by piggybacking on the back of road hauliers who make regular trips to Croatia but go back empty.Is it possible to use maritime services to achieve this end? Any other ideas/suggestions welcome.
Very much at the investigate stage of this processes.
What I envisage is A container or pallet of stuff which could not be taken on a plane.
What are the customs restrictions/regulations regarding such a venture?
Does anybody have any contacts who might undertake this job or can anyone signpost me as to where I might find further information on how best to undertake this task...with an idea of potential costs?
Any help appreciated..thanks in advance.

We used AGS to move our stuff back home. They are an intl firm with an office in Zagreb. we had a part load i.e. we had about 90% of the lorry and someone else had a 1.5m x 1.5m pallet. The price was much, much lower than if we'd used a UK firm.
We had to pay local firms to load and unload the lorry, although the driver helped.

There was no customs to pay on return as we were just taking our personal effects home. I think there was some papaerwork for the croatian border though.

It took about 3 /4 days door to door, although you could add another day for journey up to Glasgow.
You have to pay VAT on the UK mileage cost, so that will add a bit.

the only downside that I can think of was that the truck was not solid-sided so it would be easy to climb into at Calais.
