From Bodrum Airport to the United Kingdom: How Ana Kurye Helped Return a Lost iPhone

When a Lost Phone Is Found but the Owner Is Abroad
Finding a missing mobile phone is only part of the problem when the owner has already returned home.
A customer in the United Kingdom contacted Ana Kurye on October 1, 2026, after her stepfather left his iPhone 17 Pro Max at Bodrum Airport.
The airport confirmed that the device had been recovered but could not arrange international shipping.
The family therefore needed someone in Türkiye who could coordinate authorized collection and onward delivery.
Coordinating the Return Through Istanbul
Ana Kurye worked with the customer to arrange the necessary collection authorization.
After the airport collection was coordinated, the phone was transferred toward Istanbul, where the international shipping process was organized.
The customer compared DHL and FedEx options and chose FedEx.
Photos of the recovered phone and its packaging were shared during the process, according to the customer's public review.
On October 9, 2026, the customer confirmed that the phone had arrived in the United Kingdom.
Why Communication Matters
For people handling lost property from another country, regular updates can make a significant difference.
The customer was kept informed about collection arrangements, transport and shipment preparation.
Maddison later praised Ana Kurye's communication, reliability and photographic updates in her Google Maps review.

Recovering a Forgotten DJI Pocket 3 Camera for a Customer in China
When Your Lost Camera Is Still in Istanbul
For international travelers, discovering that a forgotten item has been found can be a relief.
However, recovering the item can still be difficult when the owner has already returned to another country.
In September 2026, Shui Wang contacted Ana Kurye after a DJI Osmo Pocket 3 camera was identified through a Pegasus Airlines lost property enquiry.
The relevant collection location was Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen Airport.
The customer needed assistance collecting the camera and arranging its return to Beijing, China.
Airport Authorization and Local Collection
Before collecting an item from an airport, the courier must understand the responsible department's authorization rules.
Ana Kurye coordinated with the customer to review the available collection information and identify the appropriate pickup process.
The customer provided details from the airline correspondence, allowing the collection arrangements to proceed.
Protecting the Electronic Device
A compact camera may be small, but it still requires appropriate packaging.
The DJI Pocket 3 contains a rechargeable battery and sensitive electronic components.
The prepared package was recorded at approximately 298 grams, with dimensions of around 5 × 23 × 9 cm.
Ana Kurye discussed protective packaging and international courier options with the customer.
DHL was the shipping option the customer ultimately selected during the recorded conversation.
A Customer Experience Shared on Google Maps
Shui Wang later published a positive review praising the speed of the collection and courier arrangements.
He described the process as efficient and said he was extremely satisfied with the service.
The recorded case confirms collection and courier coordination; it does not establish a final delivery date in Beijing.
