How Much Does Shipping to Luxembourg Cost from the UK?
Considering the distance between the two, you may be pleasantly surprised at how cheap shipping is to Luxembourg from the UK.
PSS calculates shipping rates to Luxembourg from the UK on the chosen shipping method for sending goods to Luxembourg.
We have large numbers of customers shipping belongings to Luxembourg every year, and so we can extend very competitive shipping rates.
Typical Shipping Costs from the UK to Luxembourg
The cheapest way to ship to Luxembourg is using part-load road freight or container shipping. When you add up the cost of sourcing and replacing your smaller pieces upon arrival, it is often cheaper and more convenient to ship a higher volume of goods. You may also find it hard or costly to replace some of your belongings in Luxembourg.
We calculate part-load shipping quotes from the UK to Luxembourg using the combined dimensions of your consignment and the space your belongings take up within the truck or container.
For dedicated shipping moves, your freight costs to Luxembourg are determined by the size of the lorry or shipping container you use.
Cost of air freight shipping to Luxembourg
If you need to send items to Luxembourg urgently, we offer express air freight services. Air freight is our fastest shipping option, and for smaller quantities, it can be surprisingly cost-effective. We estimate air freight quotes on the weight and volume of your goods, so for consignments of more than a couple of boxes, sea freight shipping is much cheaper.
Your start and end destinations also add to the overall cost of shipping goods from the UK to Luxembourg. With many available destinations across Luxembourg, PSS go the extra mile for convenient delivery. However, the further that your items have to travel, the higher your Luxembourg shipping quote will be.
Cheapest shipping quotes to Luxembourg
We endeavour to provide the most affordable shipping costs to Luxembourg. Due to the volume of goods we ship every year and the number of customers we help move to Luxembourg, we have the ability to offer cheap shipping solutions.
If you receive a cheaper estimate than that offered by PSS, check that they include a full door to door service and make sure all extra costs are included. Also, ensure that they are a fully accredited shipping company with FIDI or BAR Overseas to receive the best price and service.
Get an accurate price for shipping to Luxembourg
The surest way to receive an accurate shipping quote is through a free home survey. Our home surveys are intended to provide customers with a clear-cut and detailed shipping quote from the UK to Luxembourg before they agree to anything.
Shipping by Road Freight to Luxembourg from the UK
Most consignments being shipped to Europe, including Luxembourg are by road transport. This can be by a dedicated lorry or van if you have a lot of belongings or if you want your shipment to arrive urgently.
Most people, however, opt to ship their belongings as a part load or groupage whereby you share a vehicle. This can work out very economical especially when we use a large vehicle such as a European road train.
Road transport is safe and secure and perfect for large and heavy items or if you have a larger volume to ship.

Our standard air freightservice takes around 7 – 14 days to arrive in Luxembourg.

What Can/Can't I Ship to Luxembourg?
