FAQs about our overseas shipping services

How can a student send luggage overseas?

One of the ways our international shipping company makes sending boxes and bags easy is by allowing you to order at your leisure from wherever you happen to be. Simply follow these three steps:

Grab a free instant quote for a transparent breakdown of costs. Then, place your order, pay the small security deposit and choose suitable dates for us to bring any of our empty boxes and packing materials you require.
Next, securely pack up all your belongings into boxes, bags and suitcases and complete your online documentation, including an inventory of every item shipped, customs documentation, and optional premier or basic insurance. Then, we'll collect your shipment and take it to our nearest depot.
After your Shipping and Transportation payment has been made, we'll take your possessions to their destination city and clear them through customs. Once your goods have arrived, log onto your online account, pay the final destination charge and select a suitable date so we can deliver your shipment.

How long will it take to ship my luggage?

Delivery times vary depending on where your shipment is going and how soon you need it. Air shipping is the quickest option, but costs slightly more. Sea shipping takes a little longer and is cheaper. Plus, it produces fewer carbon emissions, making it better for the environment.

4 space-saving packing tips

Maximising space when packing can be a challenge. However, with a few simple techniques, you can ensure your belongings make it to your destination safely and efficiently. Read on for our top 4 space-saving tips when sending luggage abroad.

one

Have a declutter:

Carefully examine everything you have amassed and decide what's worth keeping.

Options include selling spare items online to help lower shipping costs via eBay or Facebook Marketplace, donating to your local charity shop, and recycling.

two

Vacuum pack:

Fold and neatly place your clothes into a vacuum storage bag, then seal it. Next, suck out the bag's air with a vacuum cleaner.

Like magic, your bag will shrink to around half its size, allowing you to pack more items.

three

Roll your clothes:

Instead of folding your clothes, rolling is an effective way to save space when packing.

Tightly-packed clothes take up less room than folded clothes and, as long as they are clean and dry, are also less likely to wrinkle!

four

Make use of smaller bags:

Bags, such as toiletry or shoe bags, can help keep your items organised and maximise space.

Using separate bags means your belongings are less likely to get lost in larger bags, and you can stack the smaller bags on top of each other to save space.

University experiences checklist

1. Get involved in extracurricular activities: most universities have a range of clubs you can join, including sports, student organisations and charity work. Not only will this help you develop new skills, make new friends, and create lasting memories, but it will also look attractive to employers.

2. Attend campus social events: we're only young once! Take advantage of the opportunity to attend concerts, parties and social outings. An active social life allows you to intimately connect with your peers and let your hair down after intense study periods.

3. Soak up your host country: you might never return, so fully immerse yourself in a new culture. Doing so challenges you to broaden your horizons, learn a new language, discover new things about yourself, and make international connections.

4. Attend career fairs and networking events: explore career options as early as possible. Attend networking events and job expos to meet professionals in your field and learn about upcoming opportunities. The connections you make now could become lifelong partnerships.

5. Get involved in research: participating in research projects offers hands-on experience and helps you to develop a deeper understanding of your field of study.
