Whether you want to ship, send or mail luggage overseas, the practical answer is the same: a door-to-door service that collects your bags or boxes from your UK address and delivers them abroad — without airline excess-baggage fees or a trip to the airport. We’ve been shipping luggage overseas since 1998.
People ask this in a few different ways — “how do I ship my luggage overseas”, “sending bags overseas”, “shipping suitcases overseas”, “how do I send luggage abroad”, even “can I post luggage overseas” or mail it. They’re all really asking the same thing: how do I get my bags to another country without dragging them through an airport or paying a fortune in excess baggage? This page answers exactly that, in plain terms, drawn from doing it from our Heathrow-side base since 1998.
It’s worth being honest about the options, because one of them isn’t really practical:
Tell us what you’re sending and where. We give you a clear quote up-front — and as long as your shipment is what you told us, that’s the price you pay, subject to airline rates at the time of booking.
We collect your bags or boxes from any UK address. No airport, no depot, no lugging the weight around.
Goods are prepared for export and we sort the itemised list and customs paperwork your destination needs.
Your luggage travels by air or sea and is delivered to the address overseas, or ready to collect on arrival.
Air freight is the fast choice — a few days to the arrival airport, priced on weight and size, subject to space and flight availability with the carriers. Sea freight is the value choice for anything substantial — priced by the space it takes up, moving in weeks rather than days. Many people sending luggage overseas split the two: air for the essentials they need on arrival, sea for the rest.

No lithium batteries in a standard shipment — that includes the batteries inside laptops, phones, tablets, cameras and power banks. Batteries can be packed and exported as declared dangerous goods, but that has to be arranged before you pack. Undeclared dangerous goods are a criminal offence and the duty sits with the sender, so tell us exactly what is in the shipment.
Beyond that, every country has its own restricted and prohibited list. When you book we’ll flag anything specific to your destination so nothing gets held at customs.
