If you’re facing airline excess baggage charges from Brighton to USA, 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 |
Brighton is around 65 miles from our Hounslow base, on the Sussex coast. We collect from your Brighton door and bring everything to our warehouse beside Heathrow, where all the USA shipments are consolidated and flown out — so you handle none of the freight side yourself.
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.
Brighton is a major university city too — if you are sending belongings to the USA from the University of Sussex or the University of Brighton at the end of term, book early, as term-end is one of our busiest windows.
