Shipping a suitcase is one of the easiest ways to travel without the stress of carrying heavy luggage. Whether you are heading on holiday, moving to university, relocating abroad, or sending personal belongings to family, Send My Bag makes suitcase shipping simple, affordable and reliable.

Our door to door suitcase delivery service is designed to make every journey smoother from start to finish.
Why Ship a Suitcase Instead of Carrying It?
Travelling with a heavy suitcase can quickly become frustrating. From airport queues and baggage restrictions to stairs, trains and delayed luggage, carrying everything yourself is not always the easiest option.
With Send My Bag, you can:
- Send your suitcase directly to your destination
- Avoid airline excess baggage charges
- Travel without lifting heavy luggage
- Skip baggage drop and reclaim queues
- Reduce the risk of delayed or lost airline luggage
- Ship domestically or internationally
Whether you are travelling for a short break or a long term move, shipping your suitcase gives you more freedom and less stress.
How Suitcase Shipping Works
We keep the process straightforward and easy to manage.
Step 1: Pack Your Suitcase
Pack your clothes, shoes and other personal belongings securely inside your suitcase. Make sure everything is protected and packed within the allowed weight limit.
Hard shell and soft shell suitcases can both be shipped, as long as they are properly packed and suitable for transit.
Step 2: Get an Instant Quote
Enter your collection and delivery addresses along with the size and weight of your suitcase to receive a quick and accurate quote.
Step 3: Book Your Collection
Choose a collection date that works for you and complete your booking online in just a few minutes.
Step 4: Prepare for Collection
Make sure your suitcase is placed somewhere easy for the courier to collect.
- If you are at home, leave it by your front entrance.
- If you are staying in a hotel, speak to reception to organise pickup.
- If you are in student accommodation, use reception or a main access point
Step 5: Track Your Delivery
Use the Send My Bag App to follow your suitcase in real time and stay updated from collection to delivery.
Step 6: Delivery to Your Destination
Your suitcase will be delivered safely to your chosen address, ready for your arrival.
Perfect for Holidays and Short Breaks
If you are travelling for a holiday, weekend away or family visit, shipping your suitcase can make the whole experience more relaxing.
There is no need to drag bags through airports, queue at baggage check in or wait at baggage reclaim. Your suitcase arrives where you need it while you travel comfortably with just your hand luggage.
It is a simple upgrade that makes travel feel easier from the beginning.
Ideal for Students and University Moves
Students often move between home, halls and private accommodation several times a year.
Shipping a suitcase ahead means no carrying heavy bags on trains, buses or across campus. It is especially useful at the start and end of term, during placement years or when travelling home for holidays.
You can send your belongings directly to your university accommodation and arrive ready to settle in.
A Smart Option for International Travel
Flying abroad with multiple suitcases can be expensive and difficult to manage.
Shipping your suitcase internationally helps you avoid strict baggage allowances and costly airline fees. It also makes longer trips, relocations and study abroad programmes much easier.
You can send your belongings directly to your hotel, apartment or family home overseas without the hassle of taking everything with you.
Save Money on Airline Baggage Fees
Many airlines charge high fees for checked luggage, overweight bags and extra suitcases.
Shipping a suitcase can often be more affordable, especially for longer trips or international travel.
With Send My Bag, you benefit from:
- Clear upfront pricing
- No surprise airport charges
- Flexible options for larger or heavier luggage
- Door to door convenience
- Competitive pricing compared to airline baggage fees
It is a smarter way to manage travel costs while avoiding unnecessary stress.
