If you’re facing airline excess baggage charges from Belfast to Australia, shipping is often better value — and far less hassle at the airport. Here’s how they compare:
| Factor | Excess Baggage Fees | Ship with Us |
|---|---|---|
| Cost for 2+ bags | Often £150–500+ per extra bag | Usually works out cheaper |
| Size limits | Strict airline limits; oversized bags rejected | We can ship boxes, crates, odd shapes |
| Pickup | You carry to airport; pay at check-in | We collect from your door, UK-wide |
| Delivery | Airport baggage claim only | Door delivery or airport, your choice |
| Timing | Arrives with your flight | Can arrive before or after you |
| Fragile items | Airline handling; damage common | Professional packing; insurable |
Belfast is in Northern Ireland — your collection crosses the Irish Sea before the road leg down to our Hounslow base beside Heathrow. We collect from your Belfast door and bring everything to our warehouse beside Heathrow, where all Australia shipments are consolidated and flown out — so you handle none of the freight side yourself. Because it is a long collection leg, allow a day or two more than a southern pickup when you book — the further from Heathrow we are collecting, the earlier we like to have your collection slot.
Once we collect, your shipment travels to our Heathrow warehouse, goes through our checking process, and is handed to the airline for departure on the next available service — typically a few working days from door to departure, subject to space and flight availability.
Belfast is a major university city too — if you are sending belongings to Australia from Queen’s University Belfast or Ulster University at the end of term, book early, as term-end is one of our busiest windows.
