We have access to all major airlines for maximum flight availability. Excess luggage sent by air freight can either be delivered directly to your new home or left at the airport for you to collect, saving you money.
Larger or less urgent shipments can be sent by our sea or road freight service. Your boxes and excess luggage will be shipped in a large shipping container along with other customers shipping boxes overseas. At destination, our local partner will deliver your boxes directly to your new home.
Free UK Storage
Most countries require you to be present when your excess luggage and shipping boxes arrive. If you are travelling prior to arriving overseas, we can offer up to one month of free UK storage before shipping your luggage from the UK.
We can also offer extremely competitive rates for long term storage of your boxes before shipping.
Our worldwide network of overseas partners can also store your shipping boxes if you need time to arrange a new place to live.
Luggage Shipping Costs
The cost of sending luggage from the UK overseas will depend on the size of the shipment and whether it is sent by air, sea or road freight. If you are sending boxes by airfreight then the price will also be affected by the overall weight of your boxes.
For boxes sent by sea freight we offer a per-box price so you will be able to calculate the exact shipping costs as you are packing your boxes.
For luggage sent by airfreight, the price will depend on the size and weight of your consignment. Please see our guide to calculating airfreight costs for more information about how these charges are worked out.
