What is Luggage Parcel or International Luggage Shipping?

Luggage parcel means sending your bags, suitcases, or personal belongings through a courier or shipping service, instead of carrying them yourself. This service is beneficial if:

• You’re flying with a low-cost airline and want to avoid high luggage fees
• You’re sending extra bags home or to another location
• You're relocating to a new country
• You want to avoid the hassle of dragging suitcases through airports

International luggage shipping allows you to send your belongings from the UK to virtually any location worldwide — safely, securely, and at a cost that’s often cheaper than airline excess baggage charges.

Why Use a Luggage Parcel Service Instead of Airline Baggage?

Shipping luggage through a courier offers many advantages over traditional airline baggage:

• Cheaper than airline excess baggage fees
• No airport hassle, skip the queues and heavy lifting
• Real-time tracking for peace of mind
• Door-to-door delivery available
• Flexible delivery dates
• Reliable and insured options

At Postal & Courier Etc., we provide these benefits with personalized service, competitive rates, and global reach.
