FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you collect a large dog crate from Istanbul Airport?

Possibly, if the pickup point is accessible, release is approved and a suitable vehicle is available. Dimensions and photos are required before pricing.

Can you return a crate to a pet shop?

Yes, if the shop accepts the return and the customer confirms the destination, timing and any return conditions.

Can you store an empty crate temporarily?

Temporary storage may be reviewed by prior agreement. It is not automatic and depends on crate size, timing and available space.

Can you dismantle or clean the crate?

Dismantling, cleaning or disposal are separate services and must be discussed before the courier is assigned.

Empty crate logistics

Moving an Empty Pet Crate After Arrival

Large pet crates can be difficult to move after a flight. Some passengers need the crate taken to a hotel, residence, storage point, pet shop or veterinary clinic. Others need it returned after an emergency purchase or collected after the animal has been accepted by the airline or cargo handler.

Ana Kurye reviews the crate size, pickup point, meeting instructions and delivery address before assigning a courier or vehicle. Foldable crates, rigid crates and oversized carriers may require different handling, and some airport or building locations may not allow direct courier entry.

Release and handover conditions

The customer should confirm who is holding the crate, whether a receipt or authorization is needed, and whether the courier can collect from a public point. We do not enter restricted airport areas or act as an official handler. The service is limited to permitted collection, movement and delivery.

If the crate must be returned to a seller, the seller's return rules control whether the return can be accepted. Ana Kurye can coordinate the handover, but refunds, product condition checks and warranty decisions belong to the seller.
