Shipping to Turkey can either be undertaken via sea or air freight. If your shipment is urgent and you are able to cover the extra cost, then you might choose to ship your goods via air freight. However, if you don’t have time constraints, then the cheaper sea freight option might be preferred. Air freight to Turkey takes a matter of hours, but you do need to factor in a couple of days either side to allow for packing, customs and unpacking. Whereas sea freight to Turkey can take between 10 and 20 days depending on your destination port (Istanbul is about 9 days, whereas as far round as Ismir takes up to 19 days).
