How much will it cost me to send luggage to Japan?
There are many things that can determine the price of sending your luggage to Japan from the UK, including the shipping method that you are using and how quickly you need your items. Whatever service you need, we will do everything in our power to keep costs as low as possible without reducing the quality on offer. Your three options are sharing a container, getting a sole-use container or using air freight. Shipping by air freight will cost more but is convenient and fast, and you can save money by sharing a container if you only have a few items to send. Some customers decided to get priority goods over via the air and send the rest over in a container. You can also cut costs by collecting items send over by air from the airport yourself.
Services we provide include:
- Door-to-door baggage to Japan
- Packing and collection of your goods in the UK
- Goods insurance
- A moves coordinator to make sure it all runs like clockwork
Which UK-to-Japan shipping methods are available?
Air freight is a quick and convenient method, but the cost usually means this is only appropriate for a few priority essentials. Many send items they need quickly over via the air and get the rest to India by sea. The reason air freight can be so costly is that prices are determined by weight.
Sharing a container is a good option if you don’t have a huge load, and you can also opt for a sole-use container if you have more to send.
