From Hanover to Whitehawk, Hove to Kemptown — Brighton's international, student, and expat communities ship personal effects worldwide with us.
Brighton is one of the UK's most cosmopolitan and internationally minded cities — a major draw for international residents, students, language school attendees, and professionals relocating abroad. The city has a diverse population with significant French, Italian, Spanish, Australian, and American communities alongside growing South Asian and African communities. Brighton's proximity to Gatwick Airport makes it one of the South East's most efficient personal effects shipping locations for both air cargo and sea freight.
We are not a general parcel courier — we specialise in personal effects and unaccompanied baggage shipping: suitcases, holdalls, boxes of household goods and personal items shipped overseas by air cargo or sea freight on behalf of an individual, family, or relocator from Brighton.
Gatwick Airport (LGW) — approximately 30 minutes from Brighton — is the main gateway for personal effects air cargo from the Brighton area.

The most popular personal effects and luggage shipping corridors from Brighton.
Two methods for personal effects shipping from Brighton — the right choice depends on your destination, volume, and timeline.
Faster transit — typically 4-10 working days to most destinations, subject to space and flight availability with the carriers. Best for smaller volumes, higher-value items, or urgent personal effects shipments. Most cost-effective for 1-5 bags or boxes.
More economical for larger volumes of household goods and personal effects. Shipped in a shared (LCL) or dedicated container. Transit takes several weeks but cost is significantly lower.
