Why Transport Your Belongings With My Baggage?
My Baggage offers a brand new approach to transporting your belongings to Germany. With our fast, convenient, reliable and affordable door to door luggage shipping services, My Baggage can offer a more feasible method of shipping your belongings in suitcases and boxes to your new home abroad. Relocating is an undeniably expensive process, and for many people, it could be a much more cost-effective option to sell or donate large, bulky items and ship only their most treasured and essential belongings with My Baggage.
Low-Cost International Shipping
At My Baggage, we pride ourselves on our fantastic low prices for shipping possessions all over the world. In many cases, traditional international removals companies can be expensive, and so not a feasible method of transport for all kinds of people who might be relocating to Germany. For others, airline baggage can be risky, due to the fact that costs can quickly mount up due to strict weight allowances. As such, shipping your possessions with My Baggage is a welcomed and affordable alternative. We aren’t just affordable— our service offers fantastic value for money. We offer a huge 30kg/66lbs weight allowance per item for as little as £28 to Germany. And, if you happen to find a better price elsewhere, you can use our handy Price Match tool and we’ll do our very best to beat that price.
Fast Overseas Movers
At My Baggage, we understand that for many people relocating overseas, speed is a top priority when it comes to getting your belongings from A to B. The last thing you want is to have to wait weeks for everything you own to arrive with you at your new home, possibly having to buy temporary belongings to keep you going in the meanwhile.
In comparison to traditional international movers, which in some instances can take months to arrive— with My Baggage, you don’t have to worry about waiting. We offer super fast removals, with a 2-5 working day transit time to Germany.
Convenient Removals
We understand— it’s only natural to feel apprehensive about handing all of your personal possessions over to a removals driver. That’s why, at My Baggage, we strive to provide an international moving service that you know you can trust every single time. We have partnered with some of the world’s leading international courier services to bring you the highest standard of service.
My Baggage’s convenient door to door collection and delivery service means you don’t have to worry about arranging for the transportation of your belongings to a port, nor do you have to worry about collecting them at the other side. My Baggage collects all of your belongings from your doorstep and delivers them straight to your destination.
Full Online Tracking and Customer Support
From the moment you place your booking until the moment your shipment arrives with you in Germany— My Baggage keeps you up to date on every detail. We provide full online tracking information, so that you can monitor the status of your shipment every single step of the way. You can access your tracking information at any time by logging into your My Baggage account.

Although it had its problems to arrive on the time scheduled as thanks to Brexit and the new enforced customs checks my luggage was checked 3 timesin several points within the UK - their excellent customer service kept me on the loop at all times and I could really feel like my luggage was taking care and monitored its whereabouts. Very happy with the service

Baggage arrived on time as promised. Labels are hard to put on luggage unless you use tape and it is hard to stick on some types of fabric. However, everything went smoothly and we give My Baggage 5 stars.

I always have had amazing service from my baggage. The only time I had a problem was because of the regulations of Spain but from Ireland to the UK and from London to Scotland I had an amazing service!

The experience overall was good, and my complaints do not really lie at the feet of My Luggage. It's more about the restrictions and limitations to what you can actually put in your luggage (basically just clothes and toys, no electronics, expensive items, food, or money.) Also, my hardshell suitcase that I had used was almost completely destroyed which is more the fault of DHL. Luckily all of my belongings were fine. The process of listing and pricing everything in your luggage and then weighing it is pretty annoying but again not the fault of My Luggage. Knowing all of the limitations you'll have this service was pretty good. Everything came in on-time and the pickup/dropoff was easy.

Great experience, shipping from Spain to Netherlands took 5 days (with a previous company took over 1 month). The process from end to end was simple, no complications, recommended.

Really Happy with MyBaggage. Another good experience. Speedy responses from Customer Service who were always helpful. Also the fact that DHL picked up my bags and delivered them is a huge bonus as I felt sure that my bags/Boxes would be in good hands and delivered on time. And they were! The only thing I was worried about was packing right as many items are prohibited under the label "Liquids"

The company is great! I had to send a suitcase from Los Angeles to France and it was really easy to do. My baggage sent a delivery company to my U.S. position to pick up the suitcase and delivered it to my French address in no more than 4 days. The suitcase was not damaged during the travel. Really good experience !
