What the French lane measures

Our system holds 118 recorded shipments on the France–Türkiye lane. Average transit time is 9.6 days, fastest record 3 days, longest 25 days.

The gap between fastest and longest is wide on this lane, and that matters: planning against a single average would mislead you. The realistic range is 8 to 12 days; the 25-day record is an exceptional consignment.

Why we publish the outliers

A transit time is only useful to you if it rests on measured data. That is why we publish the fastest and the longest record alongside the average. The most common cause of delay is paperwork held at customs — a process we run ourselves through our group company.

Process

How a shipment moves

Five steps from collection to delivery. Every status change is logged as a record — the transit times on this page are calculated from those records.

  1. 01

    Collection

    Your consignment is picked up on the Italian domestic leg or at a European departure point.

  2. 02

    Terminal consolidation

    The vehicle is filled at one of our five terminals — this is where waiting time is cut.

  3. 03

    Departure and transit

    The vehicle sets off. Every status change is written to the system as a record.

  4. 04

    Customs clearance

    Declarations and documentation are handled by our own group company.

  5. 05

    Delivery

    Delivered door to door, and the file is closed.

Frequently asked questions

How long does road freight from France to Türkiye take?

The average is 9.6 days. The fastest recorded shipment took 3 days, the longest 25 days. Because the spread is wide, plan against 8 to 12 days.

Why is the longest record 25 days?

Extremes usually come from consignments held at customs or paperwork completed late. We show the figure instead of hiding it — it is not a typical shipment, but knowing it is possible makes your planning more robust.

Can you handle customs clearance as well?

Yes. Customs brokerage (General Gümrük Müş. Ltd.) and cargo insurance (Servis Sigorta Ar. Hiz. Ltd.) sit within our group, so transport, clearance and cover run through one organisation.

How do I get a quote for my shipment?

Send us the collection point, delivery address, pallet count and dimensions. We quote per shipment and give you a firm schedule based on those details.

means the fastest recorded value on that lane is not plausible as a transit time (a shipment booked out on the day it was collected). We leave it out rather than publish a figure we cannot stand behind. The average and the slowest value are unaffected.
