Shipping your musical instrument abroad doesn’t have to be a costly, confusing or time-consuming process.
As professionals in shipping luggage, My Baggage takes the stress out of shipping your treasured musical instruments with our safe, cost-effective and reliable musical instrument shipping service.
The thing about musical instruments is, they’re very individual and showcase our personality. From personalised tuning pegs for your guitar right through to customised drumsticks for your kit, your musical instruments are more than merely a way to make music. They’re part of who you are and how you express yourself.
And of course, when you’re going abroad – whether it’s for a holiday, studying abroad, or even relocating – you’ll want to bring your instruments with you. Why? Well, buying new musical equipment in our destination country isn’t appealing. Let’s not forget; that your musical equipment is expensive, so protecting it from damage is your number one priority.
Thankfully, taking your musical equipment abroad doesn’t have to be confusing, expensive and time-consuming anymore.
You could say it’s music to your ears.
Are you planning on strumming a couple of Ed Sheeran songs out at a campfire in Canada?
Or maybe you’re providing the instrumentals for a classic Oasis song with your friends on holiday in Spain?
Wherever you find yourself, you’ll love how our guitar shipping hits all the right notes.
We’re pretty sure you won’t want to carry your keyboard through the airport either; does that strike a chord with you?
Imagine the hassle of waiting for your keyboard at the airport carousel, hoping it hasn’t been damaged.
It’s often said that when you play a violin piece, you are a storyteller, and you’re telling a story.
So, of course, you’ll want that story to have a happy ending.
By that, we mean your violin arriving at your final destination on time and in the same great condition.
Drum roll, please…
It’s time to march to the beat of your drum and have your precious drum kit and sticks meet you at the door when you arrive at your destination.
We don’t like blowing our own trumpet, but… our great team can collect your drum and drumsticks from your home and deliver them directly to your destination.
Even better, you can follow their journey using our tracking system.

After all, you’ll want to settle into your new home and enjoy the area without having to think about money.
And musical instrument shipping can save you money in more ways than one.
To begin with, you can avoid those often hefty excess baggage charges that can make a real dent in your savings.
You see, musical instruments can be pretty heavy, and airlines are not always happy to assist you in transporting them.
That is, of course, unless you pay a hefty fee.
Taking your musical instruments abroad means you will not need to hire or buy one when you reach your destination.
You’ll be glad to know that goods do not pass through customs clearance when shipping within the EU.
Which is excellent news for you because that means they’re not subject to import tax or duty and do not require declaration.
However, when shipping outside of the EU, you are legally required to adhere to customs and declare your shipment.
Generally, My Baggage shipments clear customs promptly, free from duties and taxes, as most countries offer a generous duty-free allowance for personal effects.
Don’t worry, though; My Baggage makes this process straightforward.
When you book with us, we will provide you with the appropriate customs documentation.
Then, all you have to do is complete it, print, sign it and attach it to your shipment.
If you have any questions along the way, we’re just a phone call, email or Live chat away and will advise you on all aspects of the service.
