Door-to-Door, or Door-to-Port Excess baggage

PACK & SEND offers a range of sea freight and air cargo services for sending personal effects overseas. We offer both ‘Door-to-Door’ and ‘Door-to-Depot’ services. The PACK & SEND price for ‘Door-to-Door’ covers the total delivery and clearing service (excluding government charges and taxes). The Door-to-Depot price is for delivery to the depot only.

A Door-to-Depot service does not necessarily mean a cheaper service than the total Door-to-Door service. In many cases (depending on the destination and consignment size) a Door-to-Door service can be far more economical as well as very convenient. With the Door-to-Depot service, there may be further ancillary charges to pay at the destination and this may include airport terminal fees, storage fees, and documentation fees.

At most destinations, you can clear your goods by yourself to avoid customs clearance charges, but it requires time to visit the Customs office with your passport, and shipping documents and complete the necessary Customs forms.

Excess Baggage Services by Air

When sending personal belongings by air, PACK & SEND offers a reliable and economical air cargo service. By using the PACK & SEND air cargo service, you not only receive personalised ‘white-glove’ service levels but you’re also assured of greater peace of mind when it comes to the security of your baggage. Being comfortable that your baggage is not tampered with in transit is a very important consideration when selecting a baggage service provider.

Excess Baggage Services by Sea

Shipping excess baggage by international sea freight can be a more economical option when the size of your shipment is large or when delivery times are less urgent.

PACK & SEND offers different international sea freight services for excess baggage and personal possessions. Let us know your requirements and we’ll put together a solution that works for you.

As part of our sea freight service, we will consolidate your excess baggage and personal possessions into a shared container and then ship it to the port of destination. PACK & SEND will then clear your international shipment through customs and pay the port fees and customs clearance charges (but not duties, taxes or inspection fees should there be any). Finally, we’ll arrange delivery of your excess baggage to your door.
