Why Ship To France?

Reasons why My Baggage customers ship to France:

• To send personal belongings to study abroad.
• Move your family abroad easily.
• To send a care-package to a loved one in France.
• Ship your bags to relocate for business.
• Send your luggage ahead of enjoying a relaxing holiday.

When travelling anywhere in the world, there’s nothing better than having one less thing to worry about. My Baggage’s convenient and affordable luggage shipping services allow you to avoid the nightmare of hauling your suitcase or heavy bags on your journey, even long-haul. As such, our services make for the perfect alternative to airline baggage.

When you book a bag on your flight, you have to keep in mind your airline’s restrictive, less-than-generous baggage weight allowances when packing up all of your personal belongings. It means you may have to make the sacrifice that no one wants to make; leaving many of your beloved personal belongings behind. Even then, you might still be faced with a nasty surprise at the check-in desk, meaning you’ll have to cough up extortionate excess baggage fees. Particularly when travelling long-haul, it’s not ideal.

Thankfully, My Baggage allows you to ship a massive 30kg/66lbs per suitcase at fantastic low rates. You also have the option to pay extra for even heavier bags, if you need to. That means you’ll never have to leave any of your beloved possessions behind again.

Whether you’re a student travelling to France to study abroad, or perhaps you’re emigrating to France with your family; our generous baggage weight allowance and the ability to send as many items as you like with us can come in particularly useful. It allows you to bring more possessions with you than if you were relying on a few checked pieces of luggage.

Shipping your excess baggage to France with My Baggage also makes that dreaded, tedious wait for the appearance of your suitcase at the luggage carousel in the airport a thing of the past. (Not to mention the possibility of your suitcase not appearing at all, which is every traveller’s worst nightmare!) My Baggage ships your luggage quickly and safely.

Other Ways Of Shipping To France

Of course, shipping your belongings via My Baggage isn’t the only way to get all of your excess baggage to France. If you need to transport your things to France, you should make yourself aware of the numerous options available; after all, some options will suit your personal needs better than others. Here are just a few alternative options:

International Removals

If you are relocating to France permanently, or if you are considering accepting a lengthy business contract there, you might consider transporting everything with an international removals company. This means you can transport all of your worldly belongings – including bulkier items such as furniture – in one single go, and they can meet you there!

Sea Freight

If you specifically need to send a number of larger items to France – perhaps a sofa, a fridge or even your car – you might want to consider sea freight, in which your items are shipped via cargo ships in shipping containers. Although a relatively inexpensive option, it is important to note that shipping your possessions by sea freight can be an exceptionally slow voyage, meaning you could be without your belongings for quite some time. Depending on the route of the shipment, you could be waiting for up to two months for your things to arrive with you in France. You also need to consider the transportation of your items to and from ports, both departing and on arrival in France.

Air Freight

Air freight also allows you to send exceptionally large, bulky items to France that may be otherwise difficult to transport to such a destination. Although a fast option of transporting your belongings; air freight tends to be a more expensive option, as it is charged by weight and volume. You also need to consider the transportation to and from airports.

Prohibited and Non-Compensation Items

As a general rule, you can be sure that the following items are prohibited:

• Aerosols
• Animal Products
• Perishable Foods
• Dangerous Goods
• Hazardous Goods
• Medicines
• Plants
• Liquids
• Cash, Credit Cards, Debit Cards
• Passports or other confidential personal documentation

It is important to note that there are also a number of items that can be carried on our services, however, they would be sent at your own risk as they are not covered under compensation cover. If you choose to send any non-compensation items, please ensure that they are packaged appropriately, with plenty of internal packaging for fragile items.

Find out more about My Baggage’s prohibited and non-compensation items.

As import allowances, security and customs processes differ all around the world; we recommend that you do your own personal research into what may be prohibited in your destination country before booking your My Baggage shipment to France.

What type of packaging can be used?

When sending your belongings to France with My Baggage, we recommend using either suitcases or strong cardboard boxes to package your items so as they are suitable for transit.

We advise against using fragile or expensive suitcases, as packaging is not covered under our compensation cover. With regards to boxes, it’s always best to invest in a new, sturdy, double-walled cardboard box as they are most durable and suitable for transit.

If you are sending any fragile or delicate items, we recommend using internal packaging to protect them during transit. You can use materials such as bubble wrap or newspapers.
