We collect from Oxford and ship your luggage and personal effects to Dubai by air or sea.
Yes — Excess Luggage Co. collects from Oxford and ships luggage, boxes and personal effects to Dubai by air or sea. We pick up from your door in Oxford, handle the UK export paperwork, and send your belongings on to the UAE.
We collect from your home, college or office in Oxford, bring your shipment into our warehouse near Heathrow, wrap and document it, and ship it to Dubai. Choose air freight for speed (a matter of days, subject to space and flight availability with the carriers) or sea freight for larger volumes at a lower cost (several weeks — the exact time depends on container consolidation, the sailing and route, any transhipment and customs, so allow a week or two either side).
For UAE residence-visa holders, used personal effects are generally admitted without duty; new or commercial goods can attract duty and VAT. Alcohol, pork products, media and certain items are restricted or prohibited — we’ll guide you on what can and can’t go. Import clearance in the UAE is the importer’s responsibility; we prepare your UK export documentation and a valued inventory.
No aerosols, flammable liquids or loose lithium batteries; items with built-in batteries or any dangerous goods must be declared — ask us first. 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.
