Baggage Shipping to Australia

Shipping luggage to Australia is a straightforward process, especially with help from PSS. It all starts with a quote. We assess your consignment and determine what items you would like to ship. After this, you choose which luggage shipping method will work best for you, your time-scale and your budget; air freight or sea freight. Air freight shipping will get your baggage there faster, but at a bigger price. Sea freight is the cheaper bag shipping method, but it will take much longer to arrive.

Thanks to over three decades in the industry, we know how to ship baggage to Australia from the UK with ease. This means we can handle everything from packing, handling customs, shipping and delivering, all on a door-to-door basis. Our experts will instruct you on what customs forms and documentation needs to be completed when sending luggage to Australia and we will handle the rest upon arrival.

Baggage shipping to Australia doesn't have to break the bank. Sending bags with PSS means you get a quality shipping service at an affordable price. How high your luggage shipping rates are will depend on a couple of variables. The first being the baggage shipping method you choose, air freight is more expensive and sea freight less so. It will also depend on the size of consignment you are shipping from the UK to Australia; the more baggage you ship to Australia, the more costly your quote will be.
