Shipping personal effects — your used clothes, books, household items and belongings — means sending them overseas as unaccompanied luggage. We ship personal effects from the UK worldwide, handling the customs paperwork that personal-effects shipments require. Whether it’s a suitcase, a few boxes or a full relocation’s worth, we collect, clear customs, and deliver door-to-door where available.
Whatever you call it — ship luggage, send luggage, or baggage shipping — the process is the same. We collect your bags, suitcases and boxes from your UK address, handle your UK customs export entry, and forward them to your destination as unaccompanied baggage. You travel light and skip the airline’s excess-baggage charges. Air freight is faster; sea freight is the most economical for larger volumes. We’ll advise honestly on which suits your shipment.
Plenty of websites let you book a bag online, print your own labels and fill in your own customs forms. For a simple suitcase to a simple place, that can be fine. But when it isn’t simple, you want a real person — not a portal. We’re a family-run shipping company that has handled UK luggage and personal-effects shipments since 1998. We take care of the paperwork, tell you honestly what can and can’t go, and look after your shipment from collection to delivery.
We ship to 185 destinations worldwide. Here are some of our most popular personal effects shipping routes — and you can find your specific destination from the full list of 206 country and city pages.
