Turkey Istanbul lost bag collection

Hi all! I accidentally left a piece of hand luggage on an internal flight. It’s now in the Lost and Found at Sabiha Gokcen International Airport. Help!!!!! Does anyone know of a reasonable courier to pick it up and deliver to the UK. Trying a couple but very high quotes. I don’t suppose anyone is flying through either? Hilarious comments welcome only slightly less than useful ones

i think cross border courier will be expensive as they have to deal with customs as well and think of the risk of being a mule for drug smugglers! if it isn't important, just forget it, if it is important then you will need to pay to get it back or you could go there yourself and collect it.

It will be collected from the lost & found department of an Islamic/Muslim international airport

I think the chances of it ever containing drugs are zero. (edited)

depending how bad you need it and if you're username suggests your from the NW England then you could catch a flight Monday morning and back by Wednesday evening
Depart Man but arriving back in Liv £162 plus 2 nights accommodation
Flights might be cheaper if booked direct
