Shipping your luggage via My Baggage isn’t the only way to transport all of your worldly belongings to Germany. There are other options available that may better suit your needs, depending on the reasons for your travels. Here are just a few alternative options:
International Removals
Thinking of relocating to Germany permanently? You might consider transporting all of your essential belongings with an international removals company. This method of shipping allows you to transport all of your luggage – including larger, bulkier items such as furniture – in one single go, and they can be there to meet you at your destination!
Sea Freight
If you need to send a number of large items to Germany that may be otherwise difficult to transport – perhaps a sofa, a fridge or even your car – you might consider sea freight as a shipping option. Although a relatively inexpensive option, it 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 items to arrive. You will also need to consider the transportation of your items to and from ports, both departing and upon arrival in Germany – which can be rather costly.
Air Freight
Similar to sea freight, air freight allows you to easily transport exceptionally large, bulky items to Germany. Although a much faster option of transportation; air freight tends to be the more expensive option of the two, as it is charged by weight and volume. Again, you will also need to consider the transportation of your items to and from airports.
