Student Shipping & University Removals

Moving to university — whether for freshers' week, returning for a new term, or relocating for a year abroad — usually means transporting far more than an airline or train allowance comfortably covers. Excess Luggage Co. collects your boxes and suitcases from your home and delivers them directly to your university address, so you can travel separately, lightly, and without the stress of dragging heavy bags through airports or train stations.

We work with both UK students moving between home and university, and international students shipping belongings to or from universities overseas — including students taking a year abroad, an exchange programme, or starting an international degree.

Many halls of residence have access or security restrictions, so deliveries are often made to the main reception, porter's lodge, or post room rather than directly to your room — we'll guide you through this when you book, and recommend checking with your specific university's accommodation team in advance.

For larger volumes of belongings — a full room's worth of books, clothes, bedding, and personal items — student shipping is often significantly more cost-effective than airline excess baggage charges, which are billed per kilo and add up fast.
