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.

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.
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.
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.

We also have many student customers who are about to embark on the most exciting adventure of their lives; studying abroad.

But as a general guideline, for example, you could ship your bicycle from USA to Spain starting at just $126
Are you shipping a bicycle to Australia? We’ll have it with you in just four days, with prices starting from as little as $212
The length of time it takes can vary a little, depending on where you’re sending it to. For example, if you’re sending your bicycle from the UK mainland to Spain, your bike could arrive there in just three days.
Are you sending your bicycle to Australia? We’ll have it delivered to you in just four days.
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.
Along with bicycles, you can also ship golf clubs and skis through our service.
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.
Please don’t panic; we can often get a custom quote; all you have to do is contact us directly here.
You can get a price, first getting a quote and then adding your item’s size to a booking to check if there are any additional fees.
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.
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. And don’t worry, we won’t take days (or weeks!) to reply to your emails; over the last three years, 92% of emails were answered within 2 hours.
