Sea freight is the most cost-effective way to send your excess or unaccompanied baggage. You pay only for the cargo space your items occupy in a secure, sealed shipping container. 

Excess Baggage's trusted sea freight operation - the top choice of back-packers, students and all who need to keep an eye on their budget - is in a class of its own. Our carriers are the most reputable, and our baggage shipping services among the most frequent, with regular weekly sailings to numerous destinations. 

With Excess Baggage nothing is ever left to chance. Your belongings are covered by a comprehensive marine Shipment Protection policy (additional charges apply), and your excess baggage is carefully tracked by a sophisticated computer system designed to keep you up to date with your shipment's progress. Simply supply us with your email address and we will send you a cargo shipping advice email detailing the name of the vessel your belongings are on, the date of their expected arrival in port, the name of your destination agent - and much more.

All you need to do is complete a packing list - required for customs and clearance purposes. Bear in mind that, depending on destination, extra forms (including customs forms and passport copies) may be needed.
