Baggage Shipping
Send your luggage ahead instead of dragging it through the airport
Airline baggage allowances are tight, and the charges for going over them are steep — particularly on a second or third bag, or when you are flying with everything you own because you are moving. Shipping your luggage separately is often cheaper than paying those fees, and it means you travel with nothing but a carry-on.
We collect your bags or boxes from your home, hotel or university address, and deliver them to the address you are heading to. Everything is tracked door to door, so you can see where your belongings are rather than hoping they made the transfer.
Who this suits
- Students. Moving to or from university with more than one term’s worth of belongings, especially internationally.
- People relocating. When you are flying to a new country to live, the excess baggage bill on the clothes and kit you actually need can rival the airfare.
- Long trips. Extended stays, sabbaticals and seasonal moves where you need more than a suitcase for a fortnight.
- Sports and specialist equipment. Golf clubs, skis, bikes and instruments, all of which airlines charge oversize fees for and handle roughly.
- Anyone who would rather not queue. No bag drop, no carousel, no lost-luggage desk.
How it works
- 1. Get a quote. Tell us where the bags are going and roughly what they weigh.
- 2. We book the collection. A driver comes to your address at an agreed time — you do not need to go anywhere.
- 3. Track it. You get a reference and can follow the shipment the whole way on our tracking page.
- 4. It arrives. Delivered to the destination address, wherever you are staying.
Worth knowing before you book
Send your bags early. Shipping is not same-day — allow enough time for the shipment to arrive before or shortly after you do, and remember that international shipments clear customs on arrival, which can add time outside anyone’s control.
Pack as if it is freight, not as if it is going in an aircraft hold. A hard case or a well-taped box survives the journey better than a soft holdall, and bags travelling internationally are handled more times than checked luggage is.
Declare the contents accurately. Baggage crossing a border is an import like any other shipment, and the same prohibited item rules apply. Do not send cash, passports or anything irreplaceable — carry those.
Price is based on chargeable weight, so an oversized but light bag is billed on the space it takes up. See how volumetric weight works.
