Send More Than Just Suitcases

Did you know that we ship much more than just luggage? Yes, we specialise in luggage shipping but that’s not all we ship! Have a look at some of the other things we ship:

Shipping your bicycle to UAE

If you are going to a location in UAE where bikes are popular method of transport, what’s the point in buying a new one of renting one? Just bring your own! You could use it for cycling to work, to explore or to simply enjoy a cycle at your leisure. Before you ship your bike with My Baggage, make sure it’s dismantled and packed securely in a strong, double walled cardboard box. If you’re worried about dismantling your  bike by yourself, you can take it to a local bike shop and they’re likely to do this for you for a low price.

Shipping a box to UAE

If you’re in United Arab Emirates (UAE) and you need a family member or friend back home to send you something, they can do so using My Baggage.  Likewise, if you have a loved one in UAE, you can send them a care package to help ease the pain of being far from home. When sending a parcel with My Baggage, make sure that the box you are using is strong and that the goods inside are wrapped properly to minimise the risk of broken or damaged goods.

Shipping oversized baggage to UAE

If you have oversized baggage when you arrive at the airport for a flight, you will be charged expensive excess baggage fees. Save yourself the hassle, if you know your bags will probably be a little oversized and booking on another bag would cost you too much then ship your stuff with My Baggage. Our service is low cost and we deliver your luggage straight to your destination!

UAE Customs Information

When shipping goods to the UAE, you are legally required to complete and send a customs declaration with your shipment. Whether you’re sending personal effects or a gift to a loved one; if your shipment does not have a customs invoice attached, it will not make it past your local country border, and you may have to pay return charges to get it back. My Baggage will automatically provide you with the appropriate customs documents for you to complete and attach to your shipment when you send your luggage to the UAE.

Generally, My Baggage shipments clear customs in a timely manner, free from duties and taxes, as most countries offer a generous duty-free allowance for personal effects. However, as customs processes and allowances are different around the world, and because My Baggage has no control over any decisions made, we do advise doing your own research into UAE customs regulations and quarantine before booking your shipment. Please make yourself aware of potential customs duties in Switzerland.

Shipments of personal effects being sent to the UAE for non-residents who do not hold a UAE passport, residence or employment visa should not exceed a declared value of £175/$250. Shipments exceeding this value will require a copy of the named receiver’s passport, and their residence or employment visa if they are a non-UAE passport holder.

My Baggage gives you the freedom to ship your personal belongings all over the world, meaning you can send almost everything you would typically find in a standard holiday suitcase.

Please note that 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 shipment to the UAE.

What type of packaging can be used?

When sending your belongings to the UAE with My Baggage, we recommend using either suitcases or strong 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 fragile or delicate items, we recommend using internal packaging to protect them during transit. You can use materials such as bubble wrap or newspapers.
