If you’re facing airline excess baggage charges from Exeter 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 |
Exeter is around 170 miles from our export base at MetEx House in Hounslow — a straight run up the M5 and M4 to Heathrow, where every USA shipment is consolidated and flown out. We collect from your Exeter door and consolidate everything at our Hounslow warehouse beside Heathrow, so there is no airport freight desk for you to deal with at your end.
Exeter is also the gateway for Devon and the wider South West, and a major university city. If you are a University of Exeter student sending belongings home to the States at the end of term, book early — June and July are among our busiest weeks and South West collection slots fill fast.
