How to Ship Your Luggage
Shipping your luggage is extremely easy and is just like sending a parcel. Simply enter the weight and dimensions of your suitcases into our quick quote form and complete your booking as normal. You won't need to package your luggage in a box as the suitcase itself will provide sufficient protection for your belongings. Once the booking is complete, we will send you the necessary documents to print off so all you have to do is hand over your suitcases with the documents when the driver comes to collect.
A Few Hints and Tips
- Don't forget that your luggage will not be travelling with you so make sure you check the transit times and ensure you send your luggage in advance with enough time for your luggage to arrive and be waiting for you at the hotel
-
Contact your hotel or place of accommodation to let them know that your luggage is on its way. This way the staff can keep it safe for you when it arrives.
-
Be aware of upcoming extreme weather, staff strikes or political conflict that could cause delays to your luggage delivery. You don't want to arrive and not have any clothes to wear!
-
Check to make sure you haven't packed any prohibited or restricted items as once your luggage has been collected you won't have a chance to remove them before they are imported.
-
If you are sending more than one suitcase, use the multi-shipping tool on our quick quote form to complete the entire booking in one transaction.
-
Make sure you will have internet access during your stay so that you can arrange to have your luggage shipped back home again before you return.
Taking Gifts for Family & Friends
If you're travelling overseas you may want to take some gifts with you, especially if it's during a period of celebration such as Christmas or someone's birthday; you will most likely find that the gifts take up a lot of space in your suitcase and could tip your luggage over the free permitted weight allowance. You will also find that as your suitcase travels around the conveyor belts before being loaded on to your flight that the gifts could get damaged. Using a courier service to send your gifts in advance could save you a lot of money, and the parcels will be handled by the carriers with a lot more care than they would be by the airline meaning your gifts will arrive in one piece. Whether you take your gifts on the plane with you or if you send them via courier service, always make sure that you bring extra wrapping paper with you just in case the gifts are opened during inspection by customs.
