My Baggage – Airline Baggage Alternative


Carrying baggage with you on your Air New Zealand flight is an easy, cost-effective option if you are travelling with a small amount of luggage. However, if you exceed the weight allowance or size restrictions, or if you need to add an extra bag to your flight, you could face considerable extra charges. Thankfully, that’s where My Baggage comes in.

My Baggage provides a great, low-cost alternative to carrying bags on your flight. We offer fast and convenient international luggage shipping services, which allow you to travel hands-free. It means you’ll save yourself some time at the airport – you won’t have any bags to check-in, you won’t have to wait around at the luggage carousels at your destination and ultimately, it’ll be one less thing to worry about whilst you travel.

My Baggage allows you to ship a massive 30kg/66lbs suitcase or box at fantastic low rates. You can get a free instant quote online to see exactly how cost-effective our service can be. You’ll also have the option to pay extra for even heavier bags if you need to, and you can add as many items as you like to your booking. Shipping your luggage ahead allows you to bring more with you than if you were simply relying on a few pieces of checked baggage.

Simply book online and My Baggage will collect your luggage and deliver it quickly and safely to where it needs to go.

I cannot recommend MyBaggage enough

I cannot recommend MyBaggage enough! I was very skeptical at first but I am so glad I trusted them because the process was incredibly smooth & easy & affordable and now I have my luggage taken care of! I was afraid of the customs forms and the whole customs clearance dynamic but it was super easy and without any issues. They also have the best customer service: I have emailed them at midnight and got a response in 15 minutes. 1000/10 for MyBaggage

Absolutely delightful to work with drivers…easy to prepare and very convenient service. Such a relief for my 86 year old mother not having to worry about getting transport to pick her at the airport with the large amount of luggage.

Second experience was even better than the first - once I knew to take inventory *before* closing everything up. Seriously though, this is so smooth and heaps less expensive than alternative shipping options. DC>Sussex, England in 2 days! FL>Sussex in 3 days! Amazing.

Reliable, most affordable and efficient

We booked my baggage to pick up a box from Portugal and deliver to the UK. Even though I don’t think it’s guaranteed we received a call to tell us a two hour window of when the box would be collected. The service was extremely simple, printing off the labels and putting them on the box. The service took quicker than the expected time and was delivered safely to its address. We will use this service again.

solid service would use again

everything was very smooth and instructions were clear and precise. My baggage arrived with no problems just a few days later. it was very good to have this service be so easy and convenient. Would use again! make sure you have access to a printer and tape, but they explain everything. the customs was very easy to fill out too.

Everything went as expected.

Easy and no bs shipping of luggage from US to Europe (Denmark). I was shipping my duffelbag back home after travelling in the US for a while. The bag arrived before the expected day, and the experience from purchasing, to customs handling, to shipping was perfect. Everything went as expected.
