If you’re looking to ship bags to Bosnia, we can help. Our door-to-door service, where available, ships bags, suitcases, luggage and boxes to Bosnia straight from your UK doorstep. Ship a single bag or a full set of suitcases and boxes — we collect, clear customs, and deliver, so shipping your bags ahead is simple and stress-free.
If it is a bag, a case, a box or a barrel and it does not contain anything on the prohibited list, we can ship it to Bosnia. Here is the full breakdown.
✓Suitcases — hard-shell or soft-shell. We recommend hard-shell for long-haul routes. Any size — items over 30kg carry a heavy-weight surcharge.
✓Holdalls and duffel bags — all accepted. Larger soft bags benefit from stretch wrap or an outer cardboard box for protection in freight handling.
✓Double-walled cardboard boxes — the standard for international air freight. Often more cost-effective than bags for larger shipments. Must be double-wall — single-wall compresses under pallet weight.
✓Sports bags — golf bags, ski bags, cricket bags, tennis bags. Dimensions at quote stage please so we can calculate volumetric weight accurately.
⚠Barrels — subject to handling surcharge due to size and weight. Common on Caribbean and West African routes. Advise at enquiry stage and we confirm the correct charge before you book.
✗Not accepted: bin liners, refuse sacks, plastic bags — not structurally suitable for international freight and refused at collection. Single-wall cardboard boxes.
✗No lithium batteries inside any bag on any service — remove from laptops, phones, tablets, cameras and power banks before packing. No aerosols, perfumes or flammable liquids.
