Our team can collect your bike from your home and deliver it directly to your destination.
Taking a bike overseas can be a tiring and worrying business.
On top of carrying your items to and from the airport, you have to deal with security personnel and handlers who pay little regard to your bike’s value. Then there is the potential of an agonising wait at the collection carousel and the added delay of picking up oversized baggage.
Wouldn’t it be great if you could take all these possible problems away, allowing you to enjoy your trip? Well, look no further than our bike shipping services at My Baggage.
Our team can collect your bike from your home and deliver it directly to your destination.
Bike shipping takes the leg-work out of travelling.
It allows you to focus on which lycra to pack, safe in the knowledge that your bike will meet you when you arrive at your destination.
As well as shipping luggage, My Baggage’s popular bike shipping service allows you to travel between countries without having to drag a bike through airports, security and everything that goes with a trip. But it’s not just the convenience aspect that our customers love.
If you use our bike shipping service, you will be able to avoid expensive airline baggage fees that could be put to use elsewhere on your trip.
If you’ve ever had to ride a bike that’s not your own, you’ll know it’s like sleeping in a bed that’s not your own; it just doesn’t feel right. Nothing can replace getting on your own bike and into your own snug saddle.
So when you ship your bike abroad, you’ll not have to worry about finding a rental bike abroad (these can be costly!) or getting an expensive bike fitting.
My Baggage ships to over 200 locations around the world. So no matter where your holiday, work or studying takes you, we will be able to provide a bike shipping service that won’t break the bank.
Need to contact us regarding an issue? Our friendly customer service team are available seven days a week. And we’re easy to reach by phone, email and live chat; we’re there when you need us most.
If a global pandemic has taught us one thing, it’s the beauty of outdoor exercise. We’ve all learned to appreciate the fresh air and the zig-zag of trails through beautiful country scenic routes. More people than ever are taking up cycling, so it’s fair to say our bike shipping service is pretty popular.
The thing about bikes is, they’re very individual and showcase our personality. That Turquoise bike with the adorable basket at the front, or that MTB with killer suspension… you can’t replicate that anywhere else! And most of us have a bike that perfectly fits our long, medium or small bodies, so buying another one in our new home country isn’t appealing. Let’s not forget; your bike is expensive, so protecting it from damage is your number one priority.
Thankfully though, taking your bike overseas doesn’t have to be tiring, costly and worrying anymore.
We’re pretty sure you won’t want to carry your bike through the airport either; that would put a real downer on your travels!
Imagine the hassle of waiting for your bike at the airport carousel, whispering to yourself, “Oh no, I hope it hasn’t been damaged.”
So, why not give your trusty wheels the royal treatment and have your two-wheeled buddy meet you at the door of your new home? Our ‘wheelie’ great team can collect your bike from your home and deliver it directly to your destination.
Our door-to-door service is perfect whether you’re going away on holiday or studying abroad. It’s perfect, too, if you’re taking a leap of faith and permanently relocating. And let’s face it, a warmer climate is appealing! Even better, there’ll be no uphill struggle for your bike; you can follow its journey using our tracking system.

Our bike shipping service is used by people of all ages and from all walks of life. Some customers go on cycling holidays and choose My Baggage to get their bicycles to a destination safely. Others are moving abroad for work and don’t fancy forking out a lot of money on a new bike, so they want their own bike shipped over to their new home. We also have many student customers who are about to embark on the most exciting adventure of their lives; studying abroad.
Regardless of why you’re going abroad, our bike shipping service is low-cost and reliable. And most importantly, we’ll make sure your bicycle arrives at the same time you do and in the same condition.
Absolutely.
My Baggage ships personal items around the world daily, and we have got a hard-earned reputation for making sure your beloved possessions arrive safely and on time.
We’ve travelled 199,695,114 miles across the world, so it’s fair to say that after clocking up that many miles, we know how to look after your bike. Our 150,000+ happy customers are shouting from the rooftops about how great My Baggage is. Check out what they have to say here.
From the moment we collect your bicycle until it’s delivered to you in your destination country, our couriers will handle your bike with care and respect.
We also offer Free Compensation Cover, which you can enhance to cover up to £1,500 for a small fee.
We’ve made bike shipping pretty straightforward. When sending your bicycle, it will need to be boxed up or placed in a bike travel case. Either a travel case or boxes can be picked up online for a relatively small price.
If you do not have a travel case, we recommend taking your bicycle to a local cycle shop where they can box it up and disassemble it if required for a small fee.
The box you use needs to fit within our normal size restrictions and can be sent through our standard services.
If you want to package your bike without the help of a cycling shop, here are the main things you’ll need to do:
You can watch a video here on how to box up your bike.
It’s as simple as it sounds.
Or as simple as 1, 2, 3.
We will collect your items from anywhere in the UK and then deliver them to your hotel, club, course or home overseas at a very reasonable rate.
Even better, we also offer a generous 30kg/66lbs weight allowance, almost double what airlines permit.
My Baggage customers love how they can track their bicycles from that first goodbye to the “Oh, hello there!” at your destination country.
Firstly, we will send you an SMS text message to remind you of the time and date of collection.
Secondly, you’ll be able to enjoy using our innovative tracking system that allows you to follow the progress of your bike on its journey.
Our easy-to-use system lets you track your bike from your inbox or our website’s ‘My Orders’ section.
You’ll enjoy total peace of mind and eliminate that worry we all experience when we’re waiting at the baggage carousel at the airport, praying that our items aren’t missing.
When you are about to move abroad, go on holiday or study abroad, saving money is undoubtedly at the top of your list of priorities. After all, you’ll want to settle into your new home and enjoy the area without having to think about money. And bike 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, bikes 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 bike means you will not need to hire or buy one when you reach your destination.
More than 150,000 customers have placed their trust in My Baggage. They’ve chosen us to transport their bicycles, personal effects, luggage, sporting goods, and more! We’ve earned a glowing reputation from our customers who appreciate how we make a confusing, frustrating, costly process quick, easy, and cost-effective. With My Baggage, you’ll have total peace of mind. And we promise it won’t break the bank either; you can enjoy lower fees to suit your budget. We believe that our efficiency and customer service are unrivalled.
At My Baggage, we like to keep things straightforward, and for you, that means there are no hidden fees or stealth charges. You won’t get any surprises from us, and our pricing is transparent; the price we quote is exactly what you will pay. Sometimes, you’ll have questions that need to be answered. Thankfully, as Europe’s number one shipping experts, we’ll be here to help you every step of the way.
It won’t just be your bike clocking up the miles; we’ll go the extra mile too.
We also offer;
There are dimensions restrictions when you are shipping a bike both within the UK and internationally. Unsurprisingly, space is at a premium on aeroplanes, so we’d advise you to get a measuring tape out and check your dimensions.
We have provided the information below, but please get in touch with our customer service team if you need to ask us any queries regarding dimensions or your bike’s packaging.
Does your bike exceed our size restrictions? If so, please contact our customer service team, and they will be happy to check if your clubs can be accommodated on our service.
When shipping within the EU, goods do not pass through customs clearance and therefore are 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 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 differ around the world, and because My Baggage has no direct link or association with any customs authority; we do advise taking some time to do your own personal research into your destination country’s customs regulations before booking your shipment. It is important to make yourself aware of any potential customs duties, and be sure to follow any and all advice that may be provided by customs directly.
My Baggage makes this process easy. When you book with us, we will provide you with the appropriate customs documentation for you to appropriately complete, print, sign and attach to your shipment. If you have any questions along the way, we’ll do our best to help.
