Luggage shipping costs (the chargeable weight) is based on both the size and weight of your items – the cost is determined by whichever is the greater the weight or the size (the chargeable weight)

The prices that are displayed are based on the weight you select and the appropriate size is available for you to see or amend in the booking process.

The largest single dimension of your item that you can ship is 240cms. The largest size for the two smallest dimensions added together is 330cms. Please note the weight displayed on your barcoded luggage shipping labels is a nominal weight and does not reflect the weight booked and paid for.

All items are weighed and measured in transit by and if your item exceeds the allowance booked the additional cost due will be charged automatically to your card.

In order to calculate whether the weight or the size is greater and determine the correct chargeable weight the size is converted to a weight by simply multiplying the three dimensions of your luggage in cms (width x height x length) and then dividing by 5000 and this gives you the cm size converted to a kg weight, e.g. 83cm x 40cm x 30cm /5000 = 19.92kg

You can book with estimated weights and dimensions.
