FAQs

Your questions answered

Do airlines charge more for sports equipment?
Yes — most airlines charge a sports equipment surcharge of from £60 each way, on top of standard baggage fees. For a return trip, that is from £60 in equipment fees alone. For longer trips, shipping ahead is often cheaper.
Can I ship sports equipment door-to-door (subject to your destination) internationally?+
We offer door-to-door (subject to your destination) air freight to Australia, USA, UAE and Canada. For other destinations, we collect from your UK door and ship to the arrival airport cargo warehouse.
How far in advance should I ship sports equipment?+
10-14 days before you need it at destination. Air freight to most destinations takes 4-9 working days from UK door collection. This gives a buffer for customs processing.
