Student luggage shipping — FAQs

Is shipping cheaper than airline excess baggage fees?
For most students shipping two or more bags, yes — significantly so. Airlines charge from £60 per kilogram over your allowance, or from £60 per additional bag. Our air freight rate is confirmed before we collect — and as long as your bags are what you told us, that’s the price you pay. Call us with your destination and bag count and we will give you a direct comparison.
Do you collect from student halls and private rentals? +
Yes — we collect from student halls, private rentals and shared houses anywhere in the UK. Book at least 48–72 hours before your required collection date. Within the M25 we collect Within M25: Mon–Fri 09:30–16:00 • Outside M25: Mon–Fri 10:00–17:00 and Saturday to Sunday 09:00–12:00. Outside the M25 we collect Within M25: Mon–Fri 09:30–16:00 • Outside M25: Mon–Fri 10:00–17:00.
Can I send my laptop with my student luggage? +
Laptops are accepted on standard air freight and sea freight shipments. They are not accepted on door-to-door (subject to your destination) air services. Lithium batteries are not accepted on any service — if your laptop has a removable battery, the battery cannot travel with the shipment. Devices must be packed securely.
When should I book for end of term? +
Book as early as possible — end of term (May to July, and December) is our busiest period for student collections. We recommend booking at least one to two weeks before your required collection date during peak periods. A £75 deposit secures your date.
The sender and receiver — does it have to be me? +
Yes — for personal effects classification the sender and receiver must be the same person. This means you ship your own belongings to yourself. Someone else can be present at the UK collection point on your behalf, but you must be the named sender and receiver on the shipment.
My university is not in your list — do you still collect? +
Yes — we collect from every university in the UK. The list in the finder covers all 134 UK universities and higher education institutions. If you cannot find yours, call us on 0800 096 38 39 and we will confirm collection directly. We collect from anywhere on the UK mainland.
