If you’ve ever flown to Australia before, you’ll know how unreasonable it can be to transport your belongings using a commercial airline. Not only is it a challenge to pack for such a long-distance trip while staying within your airline’s strict baggage allowance, but carrying all that luggage around the airport is exhausting — even our strapping removals team will admit to that!
If you do find yourself over your airline’s weight limit at the airport, you’re faced with two undesirable options: say goodbye to some of your belongings or face a hefty fee. Some flights from Europe to Australia charge up to £60 per extra kilogram!
With our excess baggage service, you can avoid the headaches, heartbreaks and high costs. Our competitive prices mean you can save up to 70% on the cost of shipping to Australia compared to using a commercial airline. We use a trusted network of fortnightly sea freight services that deliver in 10 to 12 weeks. Or, if you’re looking for a faster turnaround time, we offer an air freight service that delivers in just 7 to 10 days at a cost-effective rate.
Avoid your airlines’ hefty excess baggage fees
It’s easy to find yourself overpacking when planning a trip, especially to a faraway country like Australia. You lay out all your clothes, toiletries, accessories, devices, electronic equipment, and little things to keep you going… only to realise there’s no way all of this is fitting inside one suitcase!
It’s even easier to find yourself overpacking on the way back home when you’ve accumulated extra stuff on your travels, whether it be nice new clothes, ornaments or mementos.
What to do with this excess baggage, you ask? Well, you could lug it along with you to the airport, but when checking in your luggage, you’ll inevitably run into a dilemma. That’s because airlines impose strict limits on passenger luggage — in terms of weight, size and the number of checked bags you can take with you on a plane.
If your luggage exceeds these limits, you will face excess baggage fees which, depending on your airline and flight route, can be quite expensive. Some airlines charge over £60 per excess bag while others charge as much as £25 per additional kilogram!
These fees are imposed to ensure a smooth, safe and fuel-efficient flight. However, excess baggage fees can still feel like a punishment that doesn’t fit the crime. If you don’t want to cough up for these hefty charges, then you may be forced to abandon some of your precious belongings at the airport, which nobody wants to do!
However, there is another solution.
