From Hanley to Longton, Shelton to Burslem — Stoke-on-Trent's South Asian, Caribbean, and international communities ship personal effects worldwide with us.
Stoke-on-Trent is the Potteries city — a federation of six towns with a significant South Asian community including one of the largest Bangladeshi communities in the Midlands, concentrated in Shelton and Cobridge. The city also has a long-established Caribbean Windrush community, a growing Somali community, and increasing demand from Staffordshire's international student population. We collect from across Stoke-on-Trent and the wider Staffordshire area for personal effects shipping by 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 Stoke-on-Trent.

Two methods for personal effects shipping from Stoke-on-Trent — 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.
