PACKING TIPS

How to pack your suitcase to ship ahead when travelling?

Follow our recommendations to prepare and pack your suitcases for the luggage forwarding service.

Pack a suitcase to send ahead

Make sure the items inside cannot move during transit
Place the suitcase in a sturdy cardboard box
Remove any old tags and add the shipping label if needed

Pack Sports and Duffle Bags

Soft bags must be safely packed inside a cardboard box
Fill the empty voids with cushioning materials to keep the items safe
Close and seal the package. Attach the shipping label if needed

For more details about packaging, visit our dedicated pages about packaging materials and our detailed packing guides.

Shipping a suitcase on its own may not be allowed in some countries, and may result in extra fees. To ensure safe delivery, wrap the suitcase in plastic film and pack it in a sturdy cardboard box. An insufficiently-packed suitcase is not covered by insurance and releases the courier and Eurosender from any liability. For route-specific details, contact our support team via chat.

SHIPPING INSURANCE

All our shipments are automatically insured!

Every shipment organised with us is automatically covered by basic insurance, at no extra cost. To ensure optimal protection when shipping your luggage ahead, we also offer additional insurance at a small price, which can be added during the order process. Please be aware that the insurance does not cover damages to the packaging material, so make sure to use a cardboard box as final packaging when shipping luggage internationally.

Is it possible to send luggage ahead by plane without flying?

Even though most airlines offer the option of shipping unaccompanied luggage, the customer is usually charged an expensive fee for this service. Also, the airlines generally transport unaccompanied baggage with the lowest priority, meaning it will travel whenever there is space on a plane, which is not necessarily the next flight out.

Alternatively, you can send your luggage by courier through Eurosender. We work with the best parcel and luggage shipping companies to offer a wide variety of delivery solutions, including Express Worldwide Delivery, with which you will get your item in 24-72h.
