Baggage Shipment for Ovearseas moves

Baggage Shipping Services
 

At EC Shipping, we provide reliable and affordable international baggage shipping for small and medium-sized boxes. Our service is perfect for customers moving overseas or sending personal items without needing a full container. Whether you’re shipping just a few boxes or valuable items, we offer flexible options that meet your needs.

How Our Baggage Shipping Service Works

Our service simplifies the process of overseas baggage shipping:

1. Boxing and Sealing: Customers pack their items in small or medium-sized boxes, with each box sealed, inventoried, and weighing no more than 50 lbs.

2. Courier or Freight Pickup: Once packed, we arrange a courier pickup service from your home or office for convenient collection.

3. Shipping Options: We offer various options for shipping your boxes internationally:

   • Airfreight Shipping: The fastest option, ensuring your boxes reach their destination within 7-10 days​
      
   • Less than Container Load (LCL) Shipping: Cost-effective shipping where your boxes share container space with other shipments​
      
   • Groupage Shipping: For an affordable solution, your boxes are combined with other shipments heading to the same destination​
      

4. Palletization: For LCL and groupage shipments, your boxes are typically palletized. Please note, this can add approximately 15-20% to the total volume of your shipment​

    
    This increase in volume may slightly affect the overall cost of shipping.

    

Packing Tips for Baggage Shipments

To ensure a smooth shipping process, follow these packing tips:

• Fill Boxes Completely: Avoid leaving empty spaces in your boxes. Half-filled boxes with dead space may collapse or cause issues when stacked on pallets. Pack items snugly, and use padding or filler material to keep everything secure.

• Choose the Right Boxes and Materials: Ensure that the boxes and materials you use are sturdy and suitable for international shipping. You can order quality shipping boxes and packing materials from our recommended partner here.

• Inventory Your Boxes: It’s essential to keep an inventory of what’s inside each box. Label each box clearly with the contents and your name for easy tracking.

• Weight Limit: Keep each box under 50 lbs to avoid additional handling fees or restrictions. Distribute the weight evenly within the box to prevent damage.
